SLOVAKIA

my homeland, this is the place I was born and where I was raised. I want to show you the beauty of my little country which is found in the heart of Europe. My journey as a photographer started here and I'm thankful for the landscapes we have! I really recommend visiting Slovakia, it's also really cheap :) 

Here are some cool photos:

Can't wait which one will have most picks!

Thanks all and see ya later.

All photos are truly wonderful!
I see you are new here, so I'll give you one advice:
If you are going to make some stories there is : @steemitworldmap making contest every week (I just saw there is two weeks break). So write those stories for that contest (read the rules), cause you have amazing photos, maybe you win some SBD.
Good luck!

@andrijana thank you so much! will try it for sure and also thanks for the advise :) Later on I will be doing blog tutorials or even vlog tutorials will see what's faster for me :) Cheers

Slovakia by martinkukucka it RHYMES, do you post such beauty all the TIME?...

Thanks for the nice comment. Yeah it snows every year but every year it's less snow everywhere, maybe because of the global warming. Of course I'll post more stuff like this even tutorials via blog with some screenshots and techniques I use. :))))

Poziadala som aj PAL server ( https://discord.gg/sapatPw ) aby vytvoril 'teamslovakia' channel v ramci svojho serveru. Skor nas tam potom najdu aj ostatni ... ale na zaciatok mame oba servery. Uvidime co sa skor uchyti ;)

OH JOY! ANOTHER BID BOT ABUSER CREATING OPPORTUNITY FOR ME!

For those of you who are unaware, the profile that posted the above article has been over bidding on voting bots in order to place his work on the trending page. A lot of people have gotten upset about this because it takes away opportunities for others, by crowding out their work on the site. As well, since he is overbidding on the bots, he ends up causing a negative ROI, making the option completely useless for all of the other bidders who don't deliberately over bid.

NAUGHTY, NAUGHTY, SAY THE DETRACTORS!

But I don't say that. It is absolutely his right to spend his money any way he wants.

What it comes down to is this: to anyone who complains, he can simply reply: "Concentrate on your own blog instead of complaining." Well you know what?

POINT AND CLICK GUY IS RIGHT PEOPLE!

IN FACT I say take his advice to the next level by getting on board:

That's right folks it's time to use the abuser, ride his coattails, tie my wagon to the dragon and gain leverage by committing one of the cardinal sins of Steemit ettiquite and leave an elegantly designed and humorously written link spam post in the comment sections in order to grab some of his AUDIENCE!!

https://steemitimages.com/DQmT1G7uuMCSgVXt13frAk8o1tDUWXd9KyeCzcR9ZUXDEiB/GOODSPAM2.jpg

I call this GOODSPAM and IT'S AN ABSOLUTE HAPPENING MARTIN MY FRIEND. In fact, it is in the spirit of #gratitude and #respect that I'm doing this. Gratitude to this massive overbidder for providing me with the opportunity to present my work to a larger audience, and respect for that very audience's capacity to discern the subtle irony and satiric value of this endeavour.

My Commitment: I will only do this on posts that have abused the bidding bot system

FOR IF I HAVE SEEN FURTHER, IT IS ONLY BY STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS

And these are some giant shoulders I am standing on here and so without further ado here is my overbid bot caboose link:

Chapter Fourteen, ACT TWO of my ongoing Freewrite Serialized Story

For the past two months I've been writing my own continuous story based on @mariannewest's 5 minute free write prompts.

So far my main character has run from pursuers after waking up in an abandoned barn, slept in a jet engine turbine beneath a tree, discovered an underground world, traversed across the sea beneath an underground sky and miniature sun, dove into the sea in the hold of a wooden duck submarine, found a doorway to a mountain in the basement of the submarine, gone skiing down that mountain into a frozen canal, where he encountered the Living Church at the shores of a second ocean, entered the Church, eaten energy wheat kernels while being granted a name by the Abbot of the Living Church, followed a snake to a glass door that denied his name and therefore entry, and has just now been stung by a crazy wasp.

SOUND LIKE A FUN RIDE? WELL YOU CAN READ THE LATEST CHAPTER HERE!

A GIGANTIC PIPING HOT BOWL OF THANK YOU to the picture taker fella up there FOR PROVIDING ME WITH THIS UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY AND THANK YOU EVERYONE ELSE FOR CLICKING THAT LINK AND SUPPORTING MY CHANNEL!

Nice! I play around with this app called HUJI gives a late 90's perspective on images like they've just come out of film; can be downloaded on the App Store for free, some pictures I took from the past two days:

the country of origin, the city or the birthplace always remain an unforgettable place for each of us even if our job or our professional or family life leads us to change places, this place remains the best.

really it is a philosophical question and to which I personally do not find any answer.

as for you and these photos you are really lucky to be from this wonderful paradise on earth.

I congratulate you for the last sentences of your post which inspired me an idea /

if everyone tries to post an article, photos and images of his country of origin or his hometown or town in steemit we will end up with a reference library of countries like search engines.
