The moon in the mirror lake
Posted on März 21st, 2014
It was the night with the wet feet, you may remember. I was standing there, with my wet feet and took this image before the clouds are closing the whole sky. But it was not so worse, because the clouds are not getting thicker and the stars becomes a glow through the clouds. So beside the main annoyance I get a very nice picture from the moon. And maybe I has not told you but: I hate wet feet!
Lonely in the rain
Posted on März 20th, 2014
If you’re driving nearly 2000km to see a breathtaking place on earth, you won’t stop short before your destination only because it rains. After we received the parking near the Preikestolen in Norway, it begans to rain. At the beginning it was light summer rain but during the hours it was a constant heavy rain.
And so we walked 3 hours up and another 3 hours down through the rain. I could not make so much photos of the impressive landscape it was simply too wet.
But short after we returned I gazed back and saw this lonely person standing at the cliff. Under the feet 700m free fall down to the fjord.
A day by the lake
Posted on März 18th, 2014
On a sunny march day like we had this weekend, I was walking around this little lake. The sun was shining and the insects are flying through the picture and the nature starts the bloom. How beautiful can a spring day be.
I was just ready to publish this image as my litle wouwou was eating a small whatever from the dog food shop, given by my wife. And my spring feelings are gone! Booaah this stuff stinks like hell! More spring feelings tomorrow, now I have go to get a gas mask, open the windows and spray a whole bottle of an air freshener…
How trolls are living
Posted on März 17th, 2014
Today I can share a top secret with you. On my norwegian tour I followed a troll to his home and waited there until he left again. Then I used the time to make a fast shot before he’s coming back. It was very dangerous, because if he traped me who knows what happend to me. But I was fast enough outside again. After I heard him coming back, I jumped out of a window in the backside of the hut.
Churfirsten
Posted on März 14th, 2014
They are looking like the blade of a knife, the Churfirsten in the Toggenburg region. Like always my friend and I were late and missed the sunset. But this was maybe better, probably we didn’t wait long enough to see this amazing lightning in the sky. And what I didn’t know at this moment, is how wet my feet get in the next few hours because I wear the wrong shoes and as you know: I hate wet feet!
A colorful sunset in the Emmental
Posted on März 12th, 2014
After the spooky troll hut of yesterday, today we have a nice spring sunset. I shoot it in the region of the Emmental near Berne. You can enjoy e very lovely landscape in this part of Switzerland. If you turn around you could see the nice horizon full of mountains and many of them over 4000m high. But this view shows the more flat part of Berne, else I wouldn’t see the nice sunset.
The weatherproof troll hut
Posted on März 11th, 2014
I found this hut deep in the hills of norway, far away of any civilization and if you listen very carefully you could hear the feet of the trolls silently creeping in the hut. This hut has to resist the harsh weather of the norwegian winter, therefore you can see the character this building has become over the years. I like this awesome little cabine, deep in the wilderness of Norway.
Cairns
Posted on März 9th, 2014
Man made cairns in the foreground and nature made cairns in the background, which one is more impressiv? Not a serious question at all. Intend readers know it’s the famous Eiger Northface. If you some day are in Grindelwald and you are not the full trained mountaineer, go for a walk from the Männlichen to the “Kleine Scheidegg”. You can take the cable car up and then you walk on a flat path to the train station where you can take either the train down again or the expensive train up to the very beautiful Jungfraujoch. No matters what you choose, it’s anyway a beauytful and easy hike.
High moon
Posted on März 8th, 2014
As mindful reader do you know the stories about Tschappina. This is an image before the disaster begun. Hmm, not really, actually I had to know that this will not work well. As I left my car I realized I had forgotten my winter jacket. Hey not so bad, I had 3 layers of sweatshirts. Sure it was bad! As bad as it could be with temperatures unter -20°C!!! What a moron, going to the mountains and forget the jacket. Fortunately it was absolutely wind still and I could get this and some other images without the right clothes.
A lighthouse
Posted on März 6th, 2014
It was the object of my ambition, a lighthouse at the beach. Now I can test my brandnew fullstopper filter to make smooth water surface. I tried a bit and go further because there are many lighthouses on our way through Norway. What a goony idea! If you have the object you want, stay as long as possible until the sun will go down or up, for the best light. And if you wife will get angry let her shout. There are maybe more lighthouses on the way, but they are all build in rainy areas, without any sight…
Oh, sorry I have to go … “Yes, honey I’m coming honey, I’ll be right with you…”
