Landscapes & Waterscapes

Straumur delight | northern lights dance in the dark sky above the former cultural center Straumur near Reykjavík, Iceland and are reflected in a tidal pond - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comStellisee | it's just a walk of a few minutes from the top station Blauherd neariZermatt to the beautiful Stellisee - and like everywhere in this region the Matterhorn is omnipresent - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comWuhnleger | Wuhnleger is a meadow near the town of Tiers in the south tyrolean dolomites. From this meadow you have a wonderful view to the rosengarten group and the towers of vajolet. The special highlight is a small pond that reflects the scenery in its mostly glassy water... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comPoggio Covili | one scenic highlight follows the other in Val d'Orcia. Here you see Poggio Covili manor above the valley filled with fog in the early morning light - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comsymphony of fog | after a rainy day the Hintersee in the bavarian Berchtesgadener Land showed up with layers of fog light enough to allow the morning sun to shine through the fog and low enough so that the mountains appear above the fog... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.commorning light trilogy - part 2 | After the cloud cover had cleared and fog had emerged, the morning of the Epiphany in 2018 presented itself quite mystical: over the lake was a low layer of fog, which was sometimes denser, but then opened again something. The blue sky was always visible and sometimes the rising sun conjured some color into the fog... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comswirling fog | It took a long time until I could make useful pictures of northern lights. So far, either the foreground was not suitable or the landscape in the picture too dark or the picture quality bad or all together. At last, everything went well together on this Lofoten journey, even though the Northern Lights forecast was anything but good. This picture was taken the first night - the lights came early, I was still on my way to the quarters and was (as so often) surprised by the lights. Nevertheless, to the fast I found even a quite acceptable foreground - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comthe red huts | This is the "back" of the village Hamnøy in Lofoten - a little further to the left is the harbor of the fishing village. On this cloudy morning, the red fishermen's huts are the only splash of color in the otherwise monochrome landscape... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comstill waters | For a long time I wanted to photograph a spectacular sunset in this wonderful place. This is only possible in the winter months - partly because of the position of the sun, partly because of the water level of Lake Constance, which is low enough only in winter. Cloudless evenings do not really promise spectacular sunsets, but that evening the water was as glassy as you rarely see. I was lucky and there were also intense colors... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comtuscany dreams | At first the morning did not look like much - while I waited, if maybe there was something in the direction of color in the clouds, it even rained a few times. But: It's not over the fat lady sings. And just before sunrise, it was actually so far and the clouds turned spectacular - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comglowing fog | Slowly the fog clears, the sun penetrates and the sky is already blue. The avenue to Poggio Covili in the Tuscan Val d'Orcia is recognizable, the cypress trees cast long shadows on the field. Silence dominates the place, I have these mystical moments all to myself... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comO'er all the hilltops is quiet now | O’er all the hilltops 
Is quiet now, 
In all the treetops 
Hearest thou 
Hardly a breath; 
The birds are asleep in the trees: 
Wait, soon like these 
Thou too shalt rest.
(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1780)

Dawn in Val d'Orcia. After a rainy day, it cleared overnight, the temperature dropped sharply, allowing the formation of fog overlying the valleys, swaying, wafting, sometimes hauling here, pulling there and creating a mystical morning mood - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comCôte de Granit Rose | Especially in the evening light, the reddish color of the rocks of the rose granite coast in the north of Brittany comes into its own. In the background the Phare de Mean Ruz (Breton: red stone), also known as Phare de Ploumanac'h. - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comPhare du Petit Minou | The Phare du Petit Minou in the district of the commune of Plouzané in the department of Finistère marks the passage of the Strait of Brest. Its identifier is Fl(2)WR.6s, its range is 19 nm. What makes it attractive to photographers is the winding, paved path that leads across an arched bridge to the lighthouse - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comBlejsko jezero | Lake Bled in northern Slovenia is known to photographers for its foggy moods. Of course, I also hoped that the morning mist would waft around the island and allow mysterious insights and views. Unfortunately, that was not granted to me, only a small amount of steam rose from the water surface into the cold air. Since I will probably have to plan a stay in this area again... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comengadine autumn | A well-known photographer told me last fall that it's completely out of the question to take a good picture in the blue sky. With this picture I try to prove the opposite. Of course, blue skies are actually rather boring, but a clear and cold night naturally promotes fog formation in the morning. And fog is again the dream of the photographer ... I had hoped for exactly this fog and despite the weather forecast (only cloudless sky the whole weekend) drove into the Engadin. I was lucky and on Saturday morning, the longed-for fog showed up... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comSnow-White and Rose-Red | The red rorbuer of Hamnøy present themselves in a fresh white dress on this cloudy morning from a classic perspective - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comdancing lights | my one-week stay in Lofoten was - as always when I am there - shaped by wind. Miraculously, the wind paused that night for the duration of the Northern Lights spectacle and the water came to rest so that the landscape and the Northern Lights could be reflected in the fjord. Just a few minutes later, wind sets in and waves start again... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comReinebow | While I waited an eternity for the perfect moment - sun on the Olstinden and reflection in the water - a rainbow formed over the Gravdalsbukta for a short time. Unfortunately, a fishing boat had caused a few waves shortly before - a perfect reflection in the smooth water would have been the salt in the soup here... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comsundial | Thick fog lies over the village of Steinhausen, the pilgrimage church of Our Lady sticks out. The church tower casts a long shadow in the low sun, reminiscent of the clock hand of a sundial. How lucky to live in such a beautiful area! - Realisiert mit Pictrs.commorning at the pond | After a few days of photographic boredom, it is now back: the morning mist. A few rain showers in the last few days and finally bearable night temperatures have provided ideal conditions - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comawaiting the first rays of sun | sunrise at the italian lago di federa in autumn with yellow larches an a wintry landscape - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comOh happy day | Already a week vacation and the first time. that there was some color in the sky early in the morning instead of fog ... Another novelty: I'm usually all alone in this place at sunrise, this morning for the first time a second person with a camera and tripod was there. Not that it will become a hotspot! - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comin expectation | For a long time, high fog also had the highest heights of the Black Forest under control - the hoar frost on the trees is evidence of this. A strong wind brings a change, for the first time the sun rises again. Wind and sun bring hope for the trees to be relieved of their heavy burden... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comice age | For this picture I would have liked some ground fog ...
The morning was clear and cold (the thermometer at the location showed -22°C), and I was hoping for perfect conditions, as there is often a bit of fog at this location and at these temperatures the trees are white with hoar frost. But when I drove onto the highway, I could already see a thick bank of high fog in the direction of travel - I wanted the fog below and not above! Fortunately, shortly before Füssen it became clear that this high fog did not quite reach the mountains. Nevertheless, when I arrived, the entire sky over the church was gray, the mountains could not be seen, but at exactly the right time the clouds of fog cleared and gave a view of the mountain tops.
Nevertheless, a little ground fog would have created a mystical atmosphere and more hoarfrost on the trees. - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comWasserburg | For a change I went to a (for me) new photo spot. Since this place is half an hour's drive from my home, I was all the more pleased that the conditions were quite good. There are undoubtedly sunsets with more dramatic skies, but Lake Constance is rarely as smooth as it is on this evening - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comsunset at Seljalandsfoss | Double luck at Seljalandsfoss: after a cloudless day there were a few decorative clouds in the sky again at sunset and there was no wind that you could actually take photos behind the waterfall without soaking all your equipment (and without drops on the lens all the time) - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comLómagnúpur in the first light | The first look out of the window gave hope for a great sunrise: the whole sky was cloudy, only in the northeast was a cloudless strip. But little by little the clouds dissolved and the play of colors in the sky did not materialize. In between I also had to struggle with gusts of wind that rippled the surface of the water. But then the first rays of sun fell on the Lómagnúpur and there was a wonderful contrast between the reddish stone and the green moss at the foot of the mountain - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comStuðlagil from above | The basalt columns of the Stuðlagil appear very abstract when viewed vertically from above. In addition, there is the unreal color of the glacial river Jökulsá á Brú... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comseptember winter | About six weeks before this photo was taken, I was already standing at Aldeyjarfoss - at that time it was a completely different picture. The onset of winter came early and violently. This morning it was a cool -6 ° C, but I enjoyed the wintry mood with the light color of the sky - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comautumn in fairyland | The first time I visited the Töss waterfalls in the Affenschlucht (ape's gorge) near Winterthur was in January 2020. Even then, I had decided to visit this place again in autumn. The pandemic initially prevented this, but now I've finally made it happen - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comMaloja rush hour | The motif is not particularly original, but there is a reason for that: I know few pass roads that have such beautiful serpentines, where there is still so much traffic in the evening and where you also have a good position for a photo.
After my first attempts with light trails in this place, it was clear to me that I needed a bright, snow-covered landscape so that the surroundings could also be seen in the picture. Now there was an opportunity and I was very lucky that there was a little "larch yellow" under the snow - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comwindo into infinity | This year I hardly get to do landscape photography - almost all of my tours have wildlife photography as their goal. This was also the case last weekend with the ibexes in the Bernese Oberland. The landscape would not have been really spectacular with the classic landscape lens, the wide angle, but the view of details through the telephoto revealed some things worth seeing... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comgolden Kirkjufellsfoss | Kirkjufellsfoss is now so overcrowded that I only take pictures there very early in the morning. Many people (also photographers) don't get out of bed early in the morning and so you are usually alone in this beautiful place an hour before sunrise. Even if the clouds promised a beautiful sunrise, these moments, when the indirect light illuminated the waterfall and made the river course shine, were the most beautiful - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comSkútafoss | Skútafoss is a beautiful waterfall of the small river Þorgersstaðaá just off the Ring Road in East Iceland. After heavy rainfall, a second waterfall is formed to the west. Skútafoss can be viewed both from a small grotto and from the roof of this grotto - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comsunset on the rocks | A wonderfully subtle and still sunset over the icebergs of Jökulsárlón. Here the sun didn't say goodbye with a lot of pomp and colorful fireworks, only a small hint of red adorned the clouds and formed a nice contrast to the cold colors of the water and the ice. A little mist rose from the lagoon, luckily the water was mirror smooth and the icebergs barely moved... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comHáifoss í Fossá | A spontaneous change of plan due to the weather brought me to this wonderful place at sunset. Háifoss (correctly: Háifoss í Fossá) is the third highest waterfall at 122 meters and is located in Fossárdalur, the rearmost part of Þjórsárdalur. It is formed by the river Fossá í Þjórsárdal, which later flows into the Þjórsá. The waterfall can be reached either by a three-hour hike from the Stöng farm (an old Viking longhouse, which was probably buried under ash when the Hekla erupted in 1104) or via a seven-kilometer, extremely bumpy gravel road - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comthe magic of yellow larches | This morning I circumnavigated Lake Palpuogna four times. Again and again I switched from the west end to the east end and back in search of the best light. This is one of the last pictures I took quite late in the morning. Dense clouds had come up again from the west and the sun made the larches shine again against the dark background before it was swallowed up by the clouds - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comLagh da Saoseo | If I counted correctly, this was my fifth trip to Lake Saoseo. Although you can take a postbus from Sfazù to the Rifugio Saoseo, you have to reserve a seat here in advance and this is only possible from Monday to Friday. I was always there on weekends and my plans are too spontaneous for such long-term reservations. So always walk up the farm track, four kilometers, 400 meters in altitude, sometimes quite steep. And finally twenty minutes over a breakneck mountain path to the lake. The whole thing back afterwards. And then I've never been able to get a decent picture of this picturesque, but also quite overcrowded lake. That evening the clouds promised a colorful sunset. However, it had closed some time before, not even the mountain peaks could be seen anymore. A few minutes before sunset it broke up again, but there were still too many clouds (and in the wrong place) for the expected color spectacle. Still my best picture so far... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comray of hope | After numerous days with rain and storms, the sun finally showed up again this morning over a mirror-smooth Lake Constance. But not for long, because the fog soon covered everything in a thick gray blanket... - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comFata Morgana | At sunset, the dunes around the desert resort of Qasr al Sarab are besieged by romantics who want to enjoy the spectacle. Everyone, everyone without exception, makes the mistake of leaving the dunes as soon as the ball of the sun has disappeared from the sky. Until then, however, everything is quite unspectacular, due to the heavy haze, the sun is often no longer visible for some time before the actual sunset. If you wait about half an hour, you still get to see a nice play of colors. - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comyearning for spring | O wie ist es kalt geworden
Und so traurig, öd′ und leer!
Rauhe Winde weh′ n von Norden
Und die Sonne scheint nicht mehr.
(August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben, 1798-1874)

I've always wanted to experience Goðafoss in winter, but when I was there I actually felt like I was in the poem by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben: it was bitterly cold, a strong wind was blowing from the north-east and it was snowing almost non-stop . While the waterfall was a spectacular sight, I wished there was some color in the sky at sunrise and sunset. - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comLet there be light! | I was in Iceland for ten days and nights and until the last night there was never a clear sky. At least not at a time when there were also Northern Lights. I had to spend the last night near the airport because the flight was supposed to leave early in the morning. Unfortunately, there are no more spectacular landscapes in this area that can serve as a foreground for the Northern Lights, but the night was mostly clear, the Northern Lights were spectacular and so I just had to take the chance again. - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comnordic summer night | Summer is a wonderful time to photograph Vestrahorn in East Iceland. The sun rises and sets directly behind the mountain at this time of the year, and it is windless more often than at other times of the year, so there is a very good chance of a reflection in the shallow water of the lagoon.
In fact, this was the first time in a week that an interesting sunset showed up - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comtropical sunset | sunset on a maldive jetty - Realisiert mit Pictrs.coman evening in paradise | sunset on a maldive jetty - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comStepahani | sunrise over an old wooden jetty at lake constance - Realisiert mit Pictrs.coma dream of ice and light | wintry landscape with fog, mountains, snow-covered trees an a river - Realisiert mit Pictrs.combridge over troubled water | aerial image of a bridge over an icelandic glacier river in a wintry landscape - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comlights over Iceland | northern lights dancing above the majestic waterfall Goðafoss, Iceland - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comsolitude | minimalistic image of a lone tree in a wintry landscape - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comhallowed be thy name | sunrise behind a small chapel (Haldenberg, Friedrichshafen, Germany) - Realisiert mit Pictrs.commoored | two boats in the fog on a wooden jetty - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comthe boat | a sinking rowing boat on a wooden jetty in the fog - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comcloud catcher | a person watches a great mountain scenery in the dolomites, where clouds hang on the mountain peaks. The majestic scene is mirrored in a smal pond - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comthe las green larch | autumnal landscape in the upper engadine with yellow larches, majestic mountains, a lake, blue sky and a bit of fog - Realisiert mit Pictrs.comthe last ship | a jetty with a lonely ship with a foggy sunrise - Realisiert mit Pictrs.commagic monday | sunrise on a jetty in Konstanz with upcoming fog - Realisiert mit Pictrs.com
