Lonely elm tree

Whenever I'm in its surroundings I'm trying to take a nice picture of this tree. So I've got quite a collection of all different times of the year. They have very different charism. I exceptionally love this picture because of it\s simplicity.

Broken fog

The weather situation on top of Hoher Kasten, a famous mountain in the Swiss Alpstein, was exceptional on that morning between two days of rather bad weather. The view was often blocked by the fog but inbetween there were nice opportunities for pictures, for example this view through the fog that allows to see lower lying rocks.

Iceberg on Iceland

On a workshop with Erez Marom und Iurie Belegurschi on Iceland I visited glacier lake Jökulsárlón in the south west of the island. The floating icebergs that change their positions again and again because of the forces of the waves provice an ever changing scene.

Ice cave in Iceland

It's a wonder that this ice cave was ever discovered as it is located far from the next street in a glacier landscape in Iceland. I was even more happy when visiting this place because it was perfect weather and the sun was shining into the cave's entrance. By that the ice structures became very strong and the colors - I don't find words for them.

Supporting column

It seems as if this ice column in an ice cave in Iceland were supporting the glacier laying above. Actually that is not the case. Anyway this column is a quite interesting feature, probably formed by effects similar to the ones that form stalactites and stalagmites in ordinary caves - continuing freezing of drops.

Glacier detail, Iceland

On a workshop with Erez Marom und Iurie Belegurschi on Iceland I visited the Mýrdalsjökull glacier. There was not only a glacier cave but also lots of details in the ice that allowed for abstract photography.

Diamonds

Probably I take photos in black and white far too rarely. Here I tried it once again, because I had the feeling that the ice packs would stand out more intensively. The photo is already some years old, it is from my trip to Iceland.

Detail einer Gletscherlandschaft

Während eines Photoworkshops mit Erez Marom und Iurie Belegurschi bereiste ich Teile des Südens von Island. Dieses Detail entstammt vom Gletscher Mýrdalsjökull.

Matterhorn (4478 m)

It is considered the most beautiful mountain in Switzerland, perhaps even in the world. Used as an advertising vehicle and attractant for masses of tourists. And it's true, this mountain is simply impressive - if you ever see it in the current weather conditions. Best, of course, if you can see the "Horu" directly from your own balcony.

Sonnenuntergang auf dem Soliat

Man sieht bereits, dass es eine eiskalte Nacht werden wird. Wenig später werden wir frierend versuchen, Photos vom Creux du Van zu machen, bevor die Filter und Objektive von Eis überzogen sind.

Wintermorgen in La Brévine

La Brévine im Neuenburger Jura gilt als Sibirien der Schweiz. Die tiefsten jemals hierzulande gemessenen Temperaturen wurden in diesem Tal gemessen. Frühmorgens sind wir mit dem Auto in das Tal hineingefahren, den Blick auf die Temperaturanzeige gerichtet. Es war unglaublich, wie die Temperatur sank und sank. Irgendwann hatten wir einen Unterschied von 42.5°C zwischen innen und aussen. Trotzdem verliessen wir die Wärme und versuchten, die Winterlandschaft auf den Chip zu bannen.

Winterlandschaft Creux du Van

Der Creux du Van ist zu jeder Jahreszeit eine Wanderung wert. Im Winter liegt er besonders verlassen da. Er erstrahlt nicht im typischen roten Licht seiner Felsen, stattdessen dominiert die weisse Schneedecke das Bild. Für die Wanderung benötigt man Schneeschuhe und etwas mehr Ausdauer als im Sommer.

Moonrise above Creux du Van

It was incredibly freezing that night at Creux du Van! After a session in the gorge of Areuse the sky finally upened up. So we packed our snow shoes and went to Creux du Van for some great pictures in the shine of the full moon. And it was lik a jackpot: After nice pictures in daylight just minutes after sunset the full moon rose above the opposite mountain ridge. Our fingers almost freezing it didn't take long and the lenses and filters were icy. Still, there was just enough time to take some beautiful pictures before heading back.

Sicht vom Üetliberg, Schweiz

Unten das Nebelmeer über dem Zürichsee und in den Tälern, darüber freie Sicht auf die Alpen. So kann es auf dem Üetliberg bei Zürich aussehen, wenn man im Winter trotz drohendem Schlechtwetter hinaufwandert. Markant ist auch die Sendestation bei der Felsenegg, von wo man eine Luftseilbahn zurück ins Tal nehmen kann.
