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
Posted on September 17th, 2014
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.
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.
The look back
Posted on September 9th, 2014
After some rainy days and missed opportunities, we left Lysebotn with the ferry on our way again through the wild fjordland of Norway.
On the half way to our landing place, where we can drive by car again, I took a picture back into the narrow Lysefjord with his high towering mountains on both sides. Yes, it would have been nice, to take a look down to the fjord from the top of the mountains, but rain and thick fog made us a line through the bill.
What a mess, now I have to drive again up to the north for another try…
Winter in the alps
Posted on September 7th, 2014
After a warm late summer day, some of you you may want to cool down a bit. At -10°C and fading sunlight on the crest is it definitely colder than now. For some of you are these temperatures too cold, but on the other hand there is wunderful powder snow, not like at the last winter. There you have to search the snow with a magnifier.
But now it comes first the autumn and hopefully it brings us some beautiful photo weather for some spectacular images. You will it see here what the weather has to offer us in the next few weeks.
The mountain in the mirror lake
Posted on September 5th, 2014
When the moon is shining, you can’t see the milkyway no more. But you can still see the stars, also if you shoot directly into the moon.
Here at the Graeppelensee, you know, where you can get wet feet, is the the near 2400m high mountain Schofberg, reflecting in the water. Meanwhile I am stalking with good footgear in the swampy area around. But at the end I reached my car with dry feet, thanks to the good shoes.
