Image comments by Karl Sauerbrey



There is no longer any way to get there. This famous viewing platform in the Saxon Switzerland on the Bastei, "Saxony's Balcony," about 200 meters above the Elbe, remains permanently closed for safety reasons; renovation of the rock outcrop is not possible. Discussions are already underway about the construction of a skywalk and a large observation tower; photo taken on 12.06.2009 (go to image)

Hello Volkmar,
thank you for the information. I was lucky to have been on the platform in 2016. I'll take this as an opportunity to upload more images.
Best regards, Karl

The path from the parking lot to the Eisriesenwelt cave near Werfen in the Salzach Valley is longer and more strenuous than you might think. Here are the last switchbacks leading to the entrance. (go to image)

Hello Michael,
an interesting picture of the path to the Eisriesenwelt.
I know this path as well. Photography is prohibited inside the Eisriesenwelt because the flash could blind people, causing them to fall. That was the logical explanation. So I photographed without a flash, which the cave guide heard. It didn't take long before a small group formed that also photographed without flash and each time had a coughing fit, so the clicking was no longer audible.
Best regards, Karl

Unassuming yet fascinating: The white "tongues" at the edge and the yellow "tubes" in the center of the daisy's flower head are all tiny flowers. 16.05.09 (Jeanny) (go to image)

Hello Jeanny,
a beautiful shot. Because of the radiant white, such a photo is not so easy in sunshine. By the way, if I counted correctly, only 6 or 7 of the many blossoms are open. Here, the daisies have just almost appeared overnight. Compared to last year, everything here is about 2-3 weeks later than the previous year.
Best regards, Karl

Hello Jeanny,
a beautiful shot. The arrangement of the "tubes" has a fascinating, geometric, almost Irish shape.
@Karl: Here, the daisies are only blooming now as well, but two years ago we had a daisy bush on the balcony that bloomed until January.
Greetings from Blonay

Thank you both for the kind words.
I was amazed myself by the little wonders of nature when I looked at the image on the PC.
I’m glad you like the picture.
Greetings from Luxembourg.

Hello Jeanny,
oh yes - you take two to three pictures and then pick the best one - a very beautiful shot and well done. I don't know how you do it, I switch to manual, set the aperture as high as possible, and use the flash if necessary. Then the depth of field is quite good.
Best regards, Karl

Thank you for the kind comment, Karl.
I have not used the flash for such shots yet, I also switch to manual mode with a high aperture and take several pictures to be able to choose the best one later.
Best regards

Dreamily beautiful - Unfortunately, I have still not seen such flower fields live. This year we were much too early in Holland. I wish you and all readers a wonderful weekend, Marina

Hello Date Jan,
a very beautiful and interesting shot.
It reminds me of my school days when I helped build model railways for customers in a railway shop. Once, I set up a display at a nursery. I stood there in a greenhouse surrounded by thousands of cyclamens in December.....Your picture has refreshed this unusual memory.
Best regards, Karl

Greetings from a colorful Holland,
