My trip to the countryside in July, 2025

After a certain Youtube video about hiking in the Austrian Alps by Teo Crawford I realized that... I haven't visited my grandparents in small village (they go there every summer). I decided to visit them, and also brought my Fujifilm X-T5 + XF 30mm 2.8 Macro lens, a tripod and a microphone.

A road to the village

I got off the bus at the 4 PM (16:00), and had a long-ish road ahead of me – 6 kilometers. Of course, I was making some stops to rest, cool down (+30 degrees Celsius!) and take some photos!

There is a road through the river dam and a pine forest at the end of the journey to my grandparent's house, so.. more photos!

View on the lakes

I had to rest after long road under the scorching sun, help make some dinner & talk to the neighbors.

A busy Sunday

I got up early – like, 7 AM or so (7:00). and went to see the sunrise over the corn fields. Corn was really tall, so I could not see sunrise in all it's glory, but I saw a flock of Yellow Wagtails.

On my way back I recorded a short video. Nothing spectacular, but.. think of it as a postcard with sound.

After some help in the garden, I got to play with my black and white cat! He's old, was born in 2016, he's healthy, smart and playful.

After some time in the garden, I took some rest and fallen asleep. I woke up at the start of the rain, so I decided to film it!

Also took quite a lot of images of the raindrops!

That's it, thanks for watching!
