Switzerland – Appenzell Innerrhoden – Faelensee # 1
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 – Grosser Mythen – 06:45am
Well, 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.

Switzerland – Greifensee – Still calling YOU
Like an early bird I'm here at Greifensee and enjoying Winter's first blanket. But despite the chilliness, this is a beautiful moment when the Winter arrives. By the way, standing still for about 114 seconds ... is a challenge
Enjoy the weekend.

Switzerland – Greifensee – I’m calling YOU

Switzerland – Greifensee – Pastel Morning Pier
Same lake but a more silent / peaceful location. I slightly overexposed this photograph to intensify the "pastel" mood and to connect scenery with the fog.
Enjoy the scenery.

Switzerland – Greifensee – Star’s Pier
It was silent and peaceful once I photographed this scene. But suddenly two old fishermen approached the pier and ... the silence was gone ...
However, I'll come back ....

Italy – Sassi di Matera – Delicate Morning Light

Being in the middle of this marvelous place and having the unique opportunity to photograph this beautiful scenery is a really a godsend. It was a silent and peaceful moment when I pushed my shutter six times.
Enjoy the delicate morning light ....

Italy – Sassi die Matera @ Sunrise

Matera has gained international fame for its ancient town, the "Sassi die Matera". I saw Sassi di Matera featured on the internet because of the Mel Gibson film "The Passion of Christ". If you are just there in the middle of this wonderful place - you can feel the biblical epoch. Right up until the 1960s people used to live in the caves! Well, a couple of days ago I did the location research ... and now I was there
Enjoy the first morning light that kisses this mystical place.

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.

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.
