Description Hortobágy (part of the Great Hungarian Plains). I always wanted to visit this part of my country, but never before got a chance. I was so glad to finally go there, and boy, was it worth it! I've never understood the Hungarian poet Petőfi who sang odes to the Great Plains, I always thought they must be boring. But when I was there at Hortobágy, I sort of understood him. There is definitely something majestic about the plains - flat, flat, flat until the eye can reach.
Those little grey flecks in the background are typical Hungarian grey cows/bulls (dunno their gender, I didn't look, LOL), if you click on "download", you can view a bigger version to see the animals a little better.
The guy in the foreground is a herdsman in traditional Hungarian herdsman clothes. He posed for the photo.

Imádom Hortobágyot, sajnos még nem jutottam el oda, de tervezem a közeljövőben, talán tavasszal. Nagyon tetszik a fotód, csak a dobermannokat nem értem A pásztor mellé puli vagy mudi illene

Szerencsére nem rontottad el a polárszűrővel , így megérdemli a favot.

Pedig rajta volt, csak a polár függőleges kéeknél erősebben dolgozik. Raádásul ez a ké félig ellenfényes volt, azért is nem jön ki annyira a kékség.

Akkor ezúttal pont annyi a polár, amennyi kell.

I have huge plains near where I live also, but they are not green like those. Most of the year they are a dead yellow grass.

I don't know if the Great Plains are always this green or not, I don't visit that place very often. Thanks for the fav, btw!

It looks like a postcard indeed, congrats Agi.
This view is not bad I must admit, however I still don't share Petőfi's admiration toward the plains, I just prefer highlands, what is more interesting IMO
