1 week ago | outdoorphotographer.com | Dan Havlik

Spring is a season of promise, especially for photographers. After months of muted winter palettes, the colors start creeping back—subtle at first, then full-on technicolor. Rivers swell, animals stir, and wildflowers go wild. It’s the kind of sensory overload that makes you reach instinctively for your camera. But with 63 U.S. National Parks to choose from, the question isn’t if you should go out and shoot—it's where.

Krušlovský včelín hostil nultý ročník blešího trhu

Jul 16, 2024 | strakonicky.denik.cz | Dan Havlik

Na to, že se tato akce konala poprvé, se zájemců o prodej sešlo překvapivě dost. A kupujících ještě více. Někteří prodejci nakupovali dříve, než vůbec vyložili své věci na stánek. Byli to třeba Ruppertovi z Vacovic, kteří si hned při vstupu koupili tři věci a po celém dnu si nakonec vezli domů víc věcí, než na trh přivezli. Ale to asi k blešáku patří. K celé atmosféře hrálo duo harmonikářů pod vedením pana Zámečníka ze Zálesí. Na stánku včelína bylo spousta domácích pochutin a točené strakonické pivo.
Na Keltském hradišti Věnec u Lčovic slavili slunovrat

Dec 26, 2023 | prachaticky.denik.cz | Dan Havlik

Letos se všichni sešli v hospůdce pod Věncem, v kiosku ve Lčovicích, kde na ně čekalo příjemně vytopené prostředí výborné pivo a gulášek. Bylo potřeba přečkat alespoň do půlnoci letos tak nepříznivé počasí, naakumulovat teplo a pak v silném větru vyrazit. Na vrcholu se podařilo rozdělat oheň a při báječném čaji s rumem vydržet až do 4.27 hodin, kdy zimní slunovrat nastal. Akce se povedla, počasí nakonec přálo, všichni se dostali v pořádku do svých domovů. Už teď se těší na další ročník.
