Golden light over the Appenzell
Posted on Juli 2nd, 2014
After a long period of waiting for good weather, predicted the weather forecast, at least one beautiful evening. Okay, go for it and what can I say, the weather gurus were right.
While I was climbing up to the peak of the Faehnerenspitz, the sun was going down at the horizon and throw the golden light on the landscape. Well, this had to be photographed, who knows when you can see the sun so clear and cloudless at a sunset.
The wild river

To see the Latefossen in Norway from the street view, is an impressive sight. But if you take the effort to climb up the hill, then you can see a real nature spectacle.
It was real noisiness in near environment and the spray was floating in the air and makes the gear wet. Good to have a splash water protected model.
A spring sunset in Appenzell
Posted on Juni 14th, 2014
It was a warm and sunny day in April, when I decided to stay a night in the nature at the Appenzell region in Switzerland. After I drove as far as I can up to the hill, I had to walk another several hundert meters of altitude difference up the hill to the peak of the Faehnerenspitz.
This time I was early enough to take pictures of the sun, the sun setting, the dusk and of course the starry night. This image was taken on the highest point and you can see the Säntis on the left and the city of Appenzell on the right. On the peak of the Säntis you can already see the light of to rising fullmoon.
The lavender of Banon
Posted on Juni 13th, 2014
Last year we visited the Provence a region in France. We choosed the time when the lavender bloom is most impressive, in the middle of July. First I had some trouble to find larger lavender fields, but after a few tours with the car, I found some really nice places.
So I found this field with the lovely small and picturesque village of Banon. I was there while the hot sun was shining in the middle of the day. But what a boring images do you get at this time. As you know me, I like the nights for photo shooting, therefore I came back short after the sunset and took this colorful image of Banon and the surrounded lavender fields.
The colored cloud

It was a sunny winter day, do you notice I’m dreaming about cooler days, where I was walking with my friend. You know, the small one with the furry breast. Anyway, I saw the deep standing sun und made some shots of the golden light and the blue sky.
What I didn’t see, was the rainbow like cloud in the sky. Do you see it? I read about it, it can happen, when the ice crystals in the clouds are breaking the light. But it was a nice surprise, at home on my computer, when I found it on the picture.
Ice, ice baby…

Boahh, it is so hot here! How nice must the winter be with pleasant temperatures and some cool ice, oooohhh it must be so commfortable! Good to know, that the hot days here in Switzerland are not constantly the whole summer long.
I think I need a shower to cool down…
Bloomy monday

Now, when the grain fields are getting more yellow and days are getting hotter, we can see them again. The nice color spots on the barley fields.
Grain until the horizon and lonely in the center there is a flower, a poppy. The color so strong, sometimes the camera has problem to catch it without pixel errors. And the petals so fragile I wonder why the wind is not blowing it away.
Take care to our nature, it is so awesome!
Grass in the wind

In the center of the image you see a smeary thing. These are grass blades moving by the wind, while I made a long time exposure image. It’s interesting to see only a strange smear… what do you mean? You do more like the rest of the landscape? Okay, I see – it’s also very nice 
I shoot this image on the peak of the Mythen, you know, where I missed the sunset and made other images of the fog of sea. Ah by the way, this is only moonlight and not sunlight. Okay technically it is also sunlight…
Trollstigen again
Posted on Juni 5th, 2014
Yesterday I showed you an image about the sightseeing stage. In fact the Trollstigen is not the metal stage but the way up to this awesome view over the valley.
But if the racer in you is activated by this view, be warned, you can forget it! Either there is a bus blocking the street or more worse there is a car driver from a flat country without any experience on a pass.
So happend to me, after I left a hairpin curve, he comes slowly upwards toward me and stopped in the middle of the road. Yes he stopped and waited, because he was afraid of the curve. On a street as wide enough were two busses can crossing, this guy needed the whole street and was blocked by Fear! (hehe). I had no chance and I had to drive backwards through the curve again.
And the moral of the story, forget to enjoy this wonderful pass road, there is always a handicap on the road!
Trollstigen
Posted on Juni 4th, 2014
Yes, this is it, the trollstigen in Norway. And if this is the trollstigen, who are the people on it? Camouflaged trolls or only tourists? But if these are all only tourists, why do they call it trollstigen and not touriststigen? Questions over questions and only the trolls knows the answers.
