  BOHEMIAN CENTRAL HIGHLANDS
  The hills of the Bohemian Central Highlands, so different from other hills in Bohemia, are the closest exotic landscape for me. On clear days I can see those ancient volcanoes almost from my house. They remind me of landscapes very, very far away.

  JIZERSKÉ MOUNTAINS
  The heart of Jizerské mountains in the Czech North resembles of the distant North in Scandinavia. Moss and lichens grow almost as luxuriantly here as in the land of reindeer.
  I come quietly when the mountains are empty. Then the door can open. Then a family of otters may swim down the stream in front of my eyes while I am painting.
