Sunrise, western Slovakia

posted in In Transit, Pic du Jour, Slovakia on January 9, 2026 by Bob Ramsak 3 Comments

I search for images of transit in periods when I’m stationary. This was near the border with Austria just after sunrise, looking north from the EC 106. ~~ Today’s Pic du Jour, the site’s 5th (!) straight, was snapped on 5 September 2020.

Moving in. Watch your head. And look out for the birds.

This is BobRamsak.com, a public notebook by Bob Ramsak.

I’m a long-time journalist, photographer and researcher driven by passions for environmental, social and refugee justice. I’ve visited 62 countries and write something and make pictures (almost) every day. This site is a notebook and photolog where I track and (sometimes) comment on those interests, journal my travels and log my current obsessions. At the moment the most dominant one is my renewed passion for birding and bird photography.

This site primarily serves as a garden for my memories and experiences, which I hope visitors will find useful or of interest. If you find something helpful here, or have a thought or insight to add, please leave a comment or drop me a line to let me know. I’ll be delighted to make your acquaintance.

Based in Nice, France.
