Beginning of autumn
Posted on September 23rd, 2014
Let’s the festival of colors begin, it’s autumn! Soon the leaves are getting colorful and the ripe fruits can be harvested.
And here the autumn is showing us his best side, bright blue sky. But unfortunately we get this beautiful weather only for a short time and tomorrow it will raining again. Therefore at the weekend we should get sunny and warm days. So: clean up your hiking boots, load your camera and go for it!
Taxi Taxi
Posted on September 22nd, 2014
Hands up, who was at New York once? There are unbelievable many taxies, the bigger part of the cars are yellow.
And it’s easy to see, all the clichés about the taxis in New York are true. Once somebody told, if you throw a stone up in the air, in New York City, then most likely the stone will hit a taxi when it comes down. Well, this comparison is not so far from the reality.
But if you’ll find a free cab if you need one, this is a totally other story.
A flowers salute from the alps
Posted on September 20th, 2014
With this beautiful alpine bouquet, I wish you a wunderful last summer weekend.
I found this diversified flower meadow on the Lavey ridge near Adelboden. And by the way there are also some stones in the background. I mean they called mountains.
It is always good, if you have beside your object also an interesting background…
Stars in the sky

It was a lot colder than it looks like on the photo, beliefe me. But also when i get cold feet, it was worthwhile.
I could take some amazing nightsky image here in Thyon. But that was it, the rest of our short vacations over the easter weekend in the Valais, was more or less defined by clouds and fog.
Therefore, if there is a bright night upcoming, grab your gear immediately, because you’ll never know, whether the next night would be photogenic too.
Sunrise in the west
Posted on September 18th, 2014
What? Well, ah, the sun is uprising in the east, but how is the the western horizon looking like, before the sun is coming up on the eastern horizon?
It looks exactly like this! You can see this pastel color gradient, which hides again as soon as the sun gets visible. Clearly the sunrise into the eastern direction is more intensive, but to see how it looks at the oposite direction is interesting too, isn’t it? Especially with this awesome view to the mountains of the Gastlosen.
Beginning of autumn

Today it was again a really warm day, like the summer would show us, he can do that, if he want to do this. But in one week it is official, then it will be autumn.
The summer clouds will then definitely replaced by the autumn fog, which hides already each morning the sun until noon. Also the days are noticeable shorter and while you are hiking you can hear the rustling beyond your feet, from the droughty leaves fallen of the trees.
This is it from the non-summer of 2014 after the non-winter of 2014. Now the weather can only getting better, so I thought last year too.
A fungous monday
Posted on September 15th, 2014
Okay, flowers are out. Now it is autumn and there are the sprouting mushrooms again. Allover in the wood you can find them.
And were the mushrooms are, there are also all the mushroom searchers not far. For me, it is too dangerous to collect mushrooms, you’ll never know what you have. Therefore I’m collecting the mushrooms only as images and resharing it virtually over the internet.
Oh shock a horn!
Posted on September 13th, 2014
Nah, this doesn’t really work in english. The mountain in the center has the name Schreckhorn, which is translated something like Shockhorn, so…
In the light of the sunset, hidden behind thick clouds, you can nearly recognize it, the Schreckhorn. This over 4000m high mountain in the Alps, seems nearly close enough to touch it, but it is still many kilometers far away and difficult to reach it.
And for the near future I limit me for much easier hikings in more flaten regions, this thing is much too exhausting to me, but you’ll never know and you should never say never…
Moonlight valley
Posted on September 12th, 2014
Nope, this is not a daylight shot, the sun was already hidden behind the horizon. Only the fullmoon was glowing at the sky and bathing the whole landscape in bright light.
I was lucky, because at this evening was nightly sledging announced, so I could, after the photo session, take a ride with the funicular back down. However I couldn’t stay behind the camera as long as I would, because thick clouds where coming up and covered the whole sky. Therefore I bundled up my gear early and was gone back to the valley again, where I could discover, that the clouds are gone again.
Thunderstorm in the Provence
Posted on September 10th, 2014
The last few years, when we are going to a vacation, it is always raining. No matters where we are going, the rain is following us doggedly. But this hasn’t to be bad all the times, especially if in between is clearing off, then you get often some good opportunities for amazing images.
Just like here in the the Provence, where I could shoot directly from our balcony of our holiday flat this stunning sunset. Sometimes you have to use the opportunities you get offered.
