Where is the plane flying to?

Posted on Juli 20th, 2014

Winter in the flatlands, fog the whole long day. But then suddenly, short before the sunset, the fog dissolves a bit and we can guess the sun behind the mountains.
She throws the shadows of the mountains in the sky and through the clouds we can see a lonely plane in the sky. Where is it flying to? To a warm, fog free place in the middle of the sea with palms and endless sand beaches…
Who cares, if you can see such a sunset, who wants to go to a south sea island!

Day at night

Posted on Juli 18th, 2014

After a long and exhausting night in the alps without sleep but with many nice pictures, today a nightshot from Melchsee-Frutt last year.
If the moon is shining so bright, then you will see less stars than in a new moon night. But the landscape looks in the moonlight with this long exposure over two minutes, nearly like a day shot. But with stars in the sky.

On the Lavey ridge

Posted on Juli 16th, 2014

It was a beautiful saturday, as the photo lust grapped me again. Good for it, I was already in the Emmental and the way to the near Bernese Alps was short. The Backpack was ready in a few minutes and my furry budy was also with me.
We were walking from the Sillerenbuehl up to the Lavey ridge. Rather I would go further, but I didn’t know how long it takes until I am down in the valley and whether it is to narrow for my little dog. Therefore we returned at this point and after 6 hours we were back at the car.
My buddy Bubu was really tired at home, he was even to tired for his evening meal…

Bloomy Monday

Posted on Juli 14th, 2014

And again it’s Monday, let’s take the new week! For week start some colorful alpine flowers as anticipation for all of you who also goes for a walk in the mountains. And for all others a thought-provoking impulse, what kind of gorgeous things you can find in the mountains. There is not only the beach at the sea as a worthwhile destination.
In this sense, I wish you all a good week start or wonderful holidays.

Fullmoon over Alpstein

Posted on Juli 12th, 2014

After an awesome sunset, the fullmoon was rising in the eastern sky. And because I was on the peak of the Faehnerenspitz while the sunset, I had enough time to look out for the best places with sightseeing, while I was walking down.
Whereas the moon was already high in the sky and his light was falling over the Appenzell and the residents were preparing for bed time, there was one jerk up on the hill making images of a really clear fullmoon night…

The sunny side

Posted on Juli 9th, 2014

If you are looking the whole day to a gray sky, it has not to mean, there is no sun. On the top of the mounains, above the sea of fog, you may find a much more beautiful world.
While the day is come to an end and the sun is hiding behind the horizon, the poor pigs down in the valley enjoying the end of a gray day.
Good I took the time and the effort to climb up the way on the mount Mythen.

Briksdalsbreen

Posted on Juli 8th, 2014

Strange name, but so it calls in norway. This is only the end of the mighty glacier, at the top of the summit, is a lot more of the glacier. But also this glacier was shrinken between the last 10 years.
I imagined, because of the images I had seen, this glacier a lot bigger and more mighty. Although, if you climbing over the stones and going nearer to the ice, it is still impressive large.
Ah by the way a small anecdote, as we climbing to the direction of the glacier for a better sighting, there was a loud bang above us in the ice, like a canon shot. My friend gulped once empty, driveled something about a shot across the bow and then I saw him hiding at the horizon, but there was nothing coming down :)

Bloomy monday

Posted on Juli 7th, 2014

For all who want to have the summer back, a sunny smile of the friendly sunflowers.
I found this field near my hometown. While I was waiting until the sun was setting and the sky become the full red color, unexpectedly I saw the smile on the this sunflower. So I thought, how can the week better start as with a sunny smile?
Therefore we, the flowers and me, wishes you a beautiful week!

And the ferry is gone

Posted on Juli 6th, 2014

At this point the street is ending and further you can only go with the ferry. Foolish if you can see this image with the ferry from behind, then you have to wait another 24h at this point of nowhere, until the next ferry is coming.
But good for us, we were coming via the ferry from Lysebotn and have just left it. Because in a short while we took the road in the other direction,  left the Lysefjord and drove further on our journey through Norway.

Sightseeing from Mount Mythen

Posted on Juli 4th, 2014

This is an image, which I like especially much. First you have a wonderfull sightseeing from the Mount Mythen to the mountains in Kanton Glarus. And second I like how the mountains are stacked to the horizon.
What I also like is the clearness, which is missing in many nightshots, because of the high ISO noise. There is nearly no noise in this image. You can see this if you watch and enjoy the image in full size.
