A single house peeks out of a swirl of mist , soft morning sunlight bathes a hillside in pink and orange light , heavy fog turns the landscape ghostly green . In these ethereal images Polish photographer Marcin Sobas captures the unreal world of early morning in two of Europe 's most beautiful regions . He travelled to rural villages in Tuscany in Italy and the Beskid Mountains in Poland , venturing out before dawn while the villagers slept in tiny wooden cottages and brick villas among swirling mist . This mountain glade in the Beskid Mountains in Poland is bathed in ethereal greenish light in Sobas 's picture . Every single picture tells a different story where the light and conditions are the main characters such as these rolling Tuscan hills shrounded in mist . The first rays of sunlight turns the clouds pink and the land orange in Marcin Sobas 's image of this village in the Beskid Mountains in Poland . The top of a hillside emerges like an island from a sea of mist from this picture taken in Poland 's Beskid Mountains . He said : 'It ’ s a compilation of pictures which were taken in Poland and Italy during several sunrises . The main themes are the houses , huts and villages because I am fascinated by such views and landscapes . 'When I was taking these pictures I stood higher than these houses and was enjoying the sunlight . People who live in these houses slept tight in the darkness of mists . ' Sobas , who lives in Silesia in Poland , works in IT but his real passion is landscape photography and capturing the charms of nature . Cypresses and poplars rise out of the mist while in the foreground a Tuscan villa sleeps . A Tuscan hillside is surrounded by clouds and mist while the distant shapes of mountains begin to emerge . Houses , huts and villages , such as these in the Beskid Mountains , fascinate Sobas . All but one house are hidden by thick mist in this valley in the Beskid Mountains . He started taking pictures as a child when his father , from whom he inherited his love of nature , gave him a compact camera as a present . His favourite themes are light and weather and the way in which they interplay to make familiar landscapes seem strange and unreal . He said : 'Ever since I can remember I have always been sensitive for the charms of nature . I believe this is originating from my father who was also the one who gifted me a compact camera . A wooden hut peaks out of a grey landscape in this photograph from the Beskid Mountains . His favourite themes are light and weather and the way in which they interplay to make familiar landscapes seem strange and unreal . 'This was the very moment that have initiated my adventure with photography . The next key milestone was the purchase of a professional DSLR camera , from that moment on I started to take photography for serious – and in a much more conscious way . It has become my greatest passion . ' I specialise in landscape photography . My favorite themes are rolling farmlands , foggy mornings in the mountains and by the lakes . When he was taking these pictures he stood higher than these Polish houses and was enjoying the sunlight . People who live in these houses slept tight in the darkness of mists . The red windows of this tiny Polish cottage stand out against the sea of grey and white . ' I do my best to have every single picture to tell a different story where the light and conditions are the main characters. # . 'These two factors make the world look extreme and unreal at various times of a day and year . In the future I plan to check myself also in other areas like birds and wildlife photography which I find fascinating . ' I hope that at some point of time I will manage to fulfill my greatest dream which is visiting all earth ’ s continents . ' This orange Tuscan villa perches on a mountain surrounded by cypresses and poplars , a splash of colour among the grey . The Beskid Mountains , Beskidy in Polish , are a discontinuous series of forested mountain ranges lying in the eastern Czech Republic , northwestern Slovakia and southern Poland . They are popular for their historic wooden churches and skiing resorts . A small but growing population of bears , wolves and lynx roam the mountains .
