The photo shows a rare atmospheric phenomenon known as the halo effect as well as the
parhelia effect it is an interesting optical phenomenon in the sky, created from the
refraction of light in a cloud containing ice crystals. It appears as a colored, white or
mostly white, luminous ring in the center of the sun's disk. The picture was taken in the
Polish Tatra Mountains.

Interested in photography for several years, but recently engulfed me with no limits. Every free moment I dedicate to this inspiring passion. So far, the vast majority of images come from my homeland, namely the Drawsko Lake District in Poland. This beautiful place of my country for me is the perfect training ground and workshop, from which acquired skills I use in photographic expeditions. Although I am mostly moving in one region, still have something to do here. I started to look at the whole world around me through the lens of photography, in which direction I will go ������¢���¯���¿���½���¯���¿���½ I don������¢���¯���¿���½���¯���¿���½t know, because there are many visions in my imagination; the time will show whether they become a reality������¢���¯���¿���½������¦
I am a winner of several international photography competitions and participant of many collective exhibitions at home and abroad. Publications in domestic and foreign journals, albums, catalogs.
