Kamenná slunce u Hnojnic (Stone suns) (NPP), near the road you will see a green but poorly visible sign with CHKO information, are considered unique as far as the extent of their existence because you will not find anywhere like this in the entire Czech Republic. Unique formations and objects are concentrated in one small location - the former quarry, away from the main tourist routes. If we want to find out how exactly they were created, we would have to go far back in the history, all the way back to the Tertiary period

At that time, here in the area of Czech Central Mountains you would walk on a very hot ground. Strong volcanic activities were transforming and changing the prehistoric countryside so easily as children build their sand hills on a playground. The cretaceous sea had covered the area with thick sediment layer, while hot magma was trying to find its way to the surface and taking with it solid Mesozoic limestones, marls, sandstones and other rocks. Red-hot boulders were forming the cores of our future stone suns. The slowly cooling dykes crusts around them were cracking, creating a rose-like shapes.

It took millions of years before a man came to this place and began to excavate clay and search for limestones. For this panoramic photo I had to use a fisheye lens, in order to make sure that I can take this entire locale in one shot. Today everything would be different. Kilos and kilos of explosives, huge mining machinery... No one would even notice these unique stones suns, which would end up in mining rubbles. But workers who came to these location did not know anything about machinery and all work was done manually.

Thanks to that, these beautiful stone suns hidden for thousands and thousands of years in the ground were discovered and are now admired. Now, we photographers have a chance to capture their beauty before erosion and the vandals can destroy them.
