Hello Christine,
what a fitting name for this beautiful waterfall. ☺
We really like the pictures.

Hello Jeanny and Hans,
after many years we finally had time to go to the waterfall. Otherwise, I almost pass by it daily by train. In autumn, we want to go again and photograph a colorful version.
Best regards, Christine

Great shot, I've never seen it like this before!

Thank you Christine, the view from the Niesen offers unusual perspectives that you can imagine down in the valley, but not realize so vividly.
Best regards to Blonay.

Hello Jeanny,
beautiful shot. The Jungfrau is not named that for nothing...

Thank you Christine, she was especially shy that day and absolutely did not want to show herself. ☺
But you know that from the Dents de Midi as well.
Greetings from Luxembourg.

Hello Christine,
a beautiful picture! It perfectly reflects the morning mood and the cloudless Dents de Midi also contribute their part.
Greetings from Luxembourg.

Good morning Jeanny,
thank you for the comment. It was a beautiful summer morning and the atmosphere at the lake was like a painting. The Dents-de-Midi wrapped themselves in clouds again during the day.
Best regards, Christine

Oh, that really shows how far the glacier melt has progressed. Twenty years ago, the ice still covered about half the height of the visible lateral moraine. The glacier tongue then still reached the larger visible waterfall (just below the switchback curve beneath the hotel). A hundred years ago, the glacier tongue extended almost down to the valley floor at Gletsch.

Yes, Manfred, the retreat of the glaciers is particularly evident at the Rhône Glacier. In old photos, you can see that the glacier tongue once extended down into the valley. In 1971, I was there as a young student and I still clearly remember that back then the ice extended much further down than it does now.

Hello Manfred,
once again a beautiful series of flower pictures from you. In the background of this image, fuchsias can be seen, but the plants in the foreground are hostas.

Hello Jeanny, thanks for the hint. Unfortunately, there was no information board in the fuchsia house.

Once to breathe in the scent of the vast wide world, then I'll hop along...

Good morning Christine,
You hit the nail on the head, as if you had been there. Shortly after the picture, she jumped into the grass for good and thus escaped our sight.
Thank you for the kind comment.
Greetings from Luxembourg.

Hello Hans,
The weather was kind to you on your trip through Switzerland. You don't get to see this panorama every day. I like it very much.
Best regards, Christine

it was a great tip from Stefan, this route is wonderful and the weather was great that day too.

Good evening Christine,
even from home you were lucky to capture the Dents de Midi cloudless in the image. We really like the special atmosphere when the mountains are illuminated by the last evening light.
Greetings from Luxembourg.

Good evening Jeanny and Hans,
thank you for the comment.
Despite my currently limited range of activity, I do not let photography slip away from me and thus discover subjects otherwise overlooked: The Dents-de-Midi were firmly wrapped in clouds during the day. Only in the evening did they dissolve and all the peaks became clearly and distinctly visible.
Best regards, Christine

Good morning Jeanny,
a cute tomato - and proof that there is more than just wine at the Marchés Folklorique.
best regards
Stefan

Hello Stefan,
although the wine tasted very good, I can only repeat that we especially really liked the unique atmosphere at the Marchés Folkloriques in Vevey. It was a great idea of yours to show us that, even if the cheese pastry was too hot. ☺
Thank you for the nice comment.
Best regards

Good evening Jeanny
we find that without the residential building, the morning spectacle of Lake Thun really comes into view much more beautifully.
A very atmospheric and beautiful photo.

Hello Christine,
sometimes a small hint is needed to achieve something great. Thank you and I am glad that the image comes across better this way.
Best regards to Blonay.

Good morning Hans and Jeanny,
thanks to your beautiful pictures, I can at least enjoy my surroundings on the computer. Well done shot.
Best regards, Christine

Thank you Christine,
this shot was taken from the train, from a carriage where fortunately the windows can still be opened.
Since I know from your image descriptions that the Dents de Midi are usually shrouded in clouds (which I experienced myself two days later), I just had to take advantage of this opportunity, as they were cloud-free for once on this day.
Best regards.

Good evening Jeanny,
beautiful photo. Especially the palm trees in the foreground give the image a special touch.
Best regards, Christine

Thank you Christine,
I definitely expected the palm trees at Lake Geneva, but at Lake Thun they were somewhat unusual. However, they are all in pots so they can be overwintered in a warmer place.

Good morning Hans and Jeanny,
I am glad that you like the photo.
As you know, I am currently tied to the house, but I hope that Stefan might be able to drive me to the lake sometime so that I can still photograph a sunset.
Best regards, Christine

There are people who travel to Kenya to photograph elephants and others who journey to Ireland to capture rainbows – well, the distant is so close, elephant gray near Ulm and the infinitely colorful palette near Ettelbruck – how wonderfully small the world is.

Hello Christine and Stefan,
you have to be at the right place at the right time. ☺ Although that is not entirely true in this case. We were at the Ettelbrück train station 10 minutes earlier, but the rainbow was not there yet. If we had gone back, it might have already disappeared. So we took the pictures right there.
Thanks for the nice comment.

Hello Jeanny,
Really, like a postcard, if it weren't for the shy Dents de Midi, which unfortunately hide behind clouds all too often this year...
Best regards

Hello Stefan,
we have experienced a few times that some Swiss mountains are too shy to reveal themselves. Not only the Dents-de-Midi on this day, but also the Jungfrau stubbornly hid behind the clouds when we were at Niesen-Kulm. One can certainly understand that a Jungfrau is so shy. ☺
Thank you for the kind comment.
Best regards
Hans and Jeanny

Hey you two, this is really a postcard motif - a truly beautiful picture of a fascinating area, and what is so shy.... well, maybe this mountain just wants to be looked at more closely.
Best regards, Stefan Kilian
