The Elbe Sandstone Mountains are located in the border region between Germany and the Czech Republic, referred to the Saxon Switzerland in the German, and Bohemian Switzerland in the czech side.

This picture was taken in the morning at 7:19. For a view of a nearby place at earlier times, see here for 4:30, 5:30 and 6:30. Also, see Sandstone Christmas on how it like with snow. This picture was taken with the Nikkor 16-85 f/3.5-5.6, at 16 mm, ISO 200 and f8 aperture. It actually is a HDR made out of 9 single exposures, to get the high contrast between the bright sky and the parts of the landscape still lying in the morning shadow under control. This picture is featured in an Apogee Photo Magazine article about HDR pictures. Thank you! #289 on Explore on May 2, 2009.
