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.
Greetings from Luxembourg

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

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 Karl,
thanks for the compliments. It's something different from trains for a change. I still have some worth-seeing subjects from the Wilhelma. But for the next 2 weeks, I'll be out in Graubünden as a narrow-gauge bandit.

Hello Enrico,
this shot cost me quite a few nerves. It was pretty windy that day and the cornflowers kept moving, making it almost impossible to photograph a single one.
Thank you for the kind words.

Hello Hans,
a very well-executed shot. I can understand the effort it took to photograph the bloom like this. Even a slight breeze can ruin the photo in a fraction of the exposure time.
I sometimes use strong sheets as windbreaks. During my plant observations, I always carry laminated (waterproof) quadrant cards, which help as wind protection in light wind.
Best regards, Karl
