2011.06.28, Fonyód, Lake Balaton, Hungary. (yes, the text on the frame is misspelled!)

Nikon D90 - Sigma 10-20 @ 12 mm - f/8 - 1/10 sec - ISO 500 - Soligor CPL - Cokin P121 - NEF - Capture NX 2.2.6 - PS/CS2

This has been captured from the freshly built Várhegyi lookout tower in Fonyód (it has been open for the public only since 10 days when I was there), during one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever witnessed. I was lucky with the clouds as the sky was filled with them, while the sun itself wasn't blocked. There was heavy wind on the top of the tower and using a tripod was impossible so lots of shots were blurry from camera shake (I had to shoot freehand, hence the somewhat higher iso), but the best ones 'survived' the shaking!

The town you see at the bottom right is the old town of Fonyód with the harbour. The 'mountains' on the north shore are old volcanos but they are inactive since ages. The biggest one with the flat top is the Badacsony, hence the title.
