Switzerland – Engadin – Lago di Saoseo – Cat Ice Time
We got some snow in the mountains this week and I guess it was the last opportunity this year, to photograph some nice reflections at Lago di Saoseo. As soon as the sun goes down the temperature is way below freezing level and you can watch how quickly the lake gets covered with cat ice. So, it's cat time ...

The 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
Color 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.

Gerry
Switzerland – Etang de la Gruere
I 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

Gerry
Switzerland – Seenalpersee – Melting Time !
Perfect 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.
Some additional informations:
- Hasselblad H4D-40
- HC 28mm 2.8
- f16
- 1/250
- ISO 200
- pano of 4 single exposures
... and yes, the files are huge!
Enjoy it.

Italy – Venice – Burano – Watercolors #1
Burano, 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.

Switzerland – Zermatt – Silent Evening at Lake Stellisee
Sometimes the sun sets without spectacular colors. The sun is just gone ....
Regards, Gerry
Switzerland – Goeschenenalpsee – Salmon Pink Morning Scenery
Being in the mountain, smelling the fresh air and enjoying the morning light is worth every effort .... to get there
Enjoy the morning scenery.

Switzerland – Zermatt – a special Moment in Life
I had the pleasure to stay another night at Stellisee and to photograph this special morning mood. The night was unbelievable clear and the stars including the view of the "Milky Way" was breathtaking. Before I closed my eyes I saw three falling stars ...and I did make some wishes.
So, enjoy the special morning mood which lasted only a couple of minutes - a peaceful moment in life.
Regards,
Gerry
Switzerland – Uri – Goescheneralpsee – Bergsee
Above the Göscheneralpsee, which is an artificial lake in the municipality of Goeschenen in Canon Uri, Central Switzerland, is this beautiful natural lake called "Bergsee" located. The hike to this lake is not very long but my legs will remember the many, many steps - my equipment is definitely to heavy. Nevertheless, I got rewarded by this beautiful scenery. By the way, staying over night was an easy game because a nice SAC "Swiss Alpine Club" cottage "Bergseehütte" is located next to the lake.
Enjoy the sunrise scenery.
Regards, Gerry
Switzerland – Zermatt – Lake Stellisee – Mt Matterhorn
The lake "Stellisee" is one of the more magnificent lakes in this area and can be easily reached from the Blauherd station in only 20 minutes. To capture the last evening or early morning light is an easy undertaking because a simple but very nice mountain hotel "Fluhalp" is situated very close to the lake. They are offering overnight stay possibilities from June to end of September and the food is excellent.
Despite the fact that this sunrise shot was an easy undertaken, I really enjoyed the fresh air and the colors.
Enjoy the morning silence.
Regards, Gerry
Hawaii – Kauai -Taro Field
The flooded taro field, called kalo lo'i, is an ancient way of life in Hawaii. I visited this place many times and never was the reflection or the view of the mountains that perfect.
Enjoy the morning reflection.
