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!
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…
The seven perseids
Posted on März 15th, 2014
Each year around the 12. of August, the earth is crossing the course of the comet Swift-Tuttle. Because this comet is a little dirtball, he left a lot of wreckage on his path and if such a piece is hitting the atmosphere it will glow up in a bright flare. On a photo you can see, that the color is changing while it is burning up.
For this image I let the camera work for more than an hour and took about 90 images. I was lying beside the camera and saw a lot more of this flares, but not in the direction of the lens. But I was lucky enough to catch 7 of this meteors.
If you have time, the weather is good and the moon is not too bright this year, go out and watch the perseids falling down, it’s an awesome experience. I will remember you before it’s time this year.
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 bloom
Posted on März 10th, 2014
After we cancled the winter, because of the bad request, we are going directly from autumn to spring. And therefore I show you also pictures from the early bloom. I know on other continents was it a real hard winter, but not here, we never saw anyone. Now the birds are tweeting and the flowers are blooming and the sun is shining, it’s spring time. Not at the calendar but in the nature.
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.
Sunset in the wood
Posted on März 5th, 2014
After the winter was cancled here in lower Switzerland, it seems the spring is coming. We will get some very sunny and warm days, good for removing the winter depression. My recommendation; go out and enjoy the sun. I planned some interesting journeys in the mountains to get more cool images However, take this sunny picture as a warmup for the coming weekend!
A lonely moon
Posted on März 3rd, 2014
And lonely is the moon circling his track around the earth. While the sun is going down on the opposite and throw red light on the snowy mountains, the moon is climbing up in the sky and will brighten up our dark night with his light.
And if the photographer could be at the place to the right time, he could catch the moon while he is nearer at the mountains with more focal length.
