Croatia – Drifting – Krka National Park

Krka_Fish_A0004402-Gerry_PacherThe sun illuminated the water from the left side (10 o'clock) through the green fresh leafs and colorized the water fresh green. The Krka fishes enjoyed the stream and stayed more or less at the same place.

Enjoy the fresh green.

Croatia – Waterfall #2 – Krka National Park

Krka_A0004715-Gerry_PacherI photographed this second scene like the first one during sunset. The turquoise water is just a result of a crystal dark blue sky. By the way, I decided for a very long exposure to increase the structure of the grass and leaves.

Enjoy it.

Croatia – Long road to the Mali Halan Pass

Mali_Halan_Pass_A0004596-Gerry_PacherThe long road to the Mali Halan Pass offers a scenic view to the Mount Tulove Grede. Driving through this highly karstic area was on the one hand very exciting, but on the other hand the hundreds of mine field warning signs .... created a strange feeling. So, hiking is definitely not recommended!

Enjoy the ride.

Italy – Venice – Rio de S. Pantalon

Venice_IV_5723-Gerry_PacherI really love strolling around the smale alleyway in Venice and get inspired by the colors, structure, buildings, shapes, excellent Italian food ... and .... dolce far niente (the sweetness of doing nothing).

Enjoy the Rio de S. Pantalon view.

Switzerland – Appenzell Innerrhoden – Faelensee # 1

Faelensee_A0003295-Gerry_PacherThe Faelensee, sometimes called "Alpstein-Fjord", is a lake in the Alpstein range of the canton Appenzell Innerrhoden and is embedded between the steep rock cliffs on both sides. I stayed over night at Boolenwees (a lovely mountain inn) and caught the first morning light.

Enjoy the beautiful reflection and the delicate morning light.

Switzerland – Etang de la Gruere B&W

Etange-de-la-Gruyere_A0002914-Gerry_Pacher-bwColor or B&W - what do you prefer? I personally tend to the B&W version due to the strong contrast and forms.

Have a great day.

Switzerland – Etang de la Gruere

Etange-de-la-Gruyere_A0002914-Gerry_PacherI visited the small lake "Etang de la Gruere" today that is located very close to Saignelegier, Canton of Jura / Switzerland. My Hassy did a superb job and captured the difference in brightness very well.

Enjoy the tranquility ;-)

Switzerland – Saentis – Full Moon Night – 20:13

Saentis_A0002824-Gerry_Pacher-v2Same day, just a couple of hours later and another mountain. This was indeed an easy undertaking. The Saentis is just an one hour drive away and the cable car brings you to the top of the mountain. Well, the sunset wasn't so wonderful because of heavy fog/clouds but to my luck the other side offered some interesting opportunities - photographing the full moon.

Enjoy the view.

Gerry

Switzerland – Grosser Mythen – 06:45am

Grosser_Mythen_A0002680-Gerry_PacherWell, my initial plan was to photograph a sunset scenery from the top of the Grosser Mythen (check the link and you can see the mountain) but the weather was (let's put it that way) not so perfect. So I changed my plans and stayed over night at the top of the mountain. As you can imagine, the mountain cottage was still closed. It was quite windy and chilly but my sleeping bag did a fantastic job. And yes, the morning scenery was significantly better the evening.

Regards,

Gerry

Switzerland – Seenalpersee – Melting Time !

Seenalpersee_A0002170-Gerry_PacherPerfect weather conditions and my new Hassy were the reasons for this early spring hike to the lake "Seenalpersee". Well, the way up to the lake took longer than expected due to deep soft snow fields. Yes, I missed the sunrise but the scenery compensated for it. Despite the bright sun and the strong contrasts the medium format sensor did a fantastic job.

Italy – Venice – Burano – Watercolors #1

Burano_P8_6483-Gerry_PacherBurano, the most colorful place on earth. Maybe it's a little bit to optimistic but this place is amazing. So, if you are in Venice, take a Vaporetti and go to the nearby island Burano. This time I was lucky having a blue-foggy sky that worked like a giant softbox. Enjoy the watercolors.
