The old railway, now out of business
The ride up to the pea with the new railway

Last Summer paths on the Swiss mountains … where will they lead in Winter?
Summer turns its head away
from the flowers that adorned my walks for so long time.
Time to leave the alpine paths to rest under the rain
and the quiet sleep of Winter snow.
Much I walked these Summer paths
yet I do not know where they might lead me.
The reindeer put his silver horns into water:
what will Winter bring along?
This gorgeous path is in Stoos, some hours well spent with my D800 + 16-35 mm f/4 between the two stations of Fronalpstock and Klingenstock …
The night sky over Brunnen fires: a night on the Swiss Alps with D800
After a 5-hour-long hike up-and-down from Stoos to Fronalpstock with camera-tele-50mm-wideangle-tripod on my back …
… the night of the 1st of August covered the sky and the peaks of Rigi and Pilatus and the Mythen and the lake boats with fire…
Wood-fire and fireworks in a night enlighten by the Milky Way.
Up there, through Scorpio to down there on Lake Lucerne, billions of fires turned on.
What a show the night sky on the Alps… watch it at least once in your life…
