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 nose is not possible. Plans are already underway for 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

Rainbow and secondary rainbow at Altengamme; 24mm focal length was not enough to capture it completely; 30.05.2015 (go to image) 

Hello Helmut,
there was only a gap here on the path because forward and back there were tall bushes (see shadows) and on the other side of the path there was also a fence, and you don't have much time because the rainbow fades quickly.

Still, thanks for your well-intentioned advice and regards
VolkMAR

Beautiful - and usually there isn't much time for it (as I know from my own experience)!

Thank you Stefan, well, the available time is needed to
1) find a reasonably suitable photo spot,
2) set up the camera ... and not to forget:
3) you also want to enjoy this natural spectacle yourself.
I believe I’m not wrong in saying that I have never seen such a magnificent rainbow stretching from left to right down to the ground before. The colors were (at first) even more beautiful than in this photo.
Regards, Volkmar

A roe buck in the wildlife enclosure near Heeselicht (Saxon Switzerland); isn't the color of its fur somewhat unusual? - 27.02.2008 (go to image) 

Well Horst, you caught me as someone uneducated regarding deer and roe deer (which probably also belong to the deer family). I took your comment as an opportunity to read something about these animals, but I am still not sure if I will be able to distinguish the different species of deer in the future.

Thanks for your hint and regards

There are simply fewer and fewer people who can read, and ears are increasingly clogged with mini-speakers...

That is certainly true, Stefan. And some, although literate, ignore the warnings.
Nevertheless, it was wonderful on this beautiful shore.

Hardly has the icebreaker stopped its work, the ice floes on the Elbe begin to press together again, but at least the current is visible; Geesthacht, 15.02.2012 (go to image) 

Thank you Hubert, on that day I was able to observe great maneuvers by kite surfers there in strong winds.
Yes, I really like Mönchgut too.

Although it resembles the parasol mushroom, I left this mushroom standing as well; I was too uncertain; 06.09.2010 (go to image) 

Thank you, Ferdinand! Then I will do the "slide test" the next time I find one.
In the meantime, I have read up on it and fortunately, there seems to be no dangerous possibility of confusion with the parasol mushroom.

The ice – while it delights Sunday walkers and children, four icebreakers are battling against it; Elbe at Geesthacht, 11.01.2009 (go to image) 

Hello Volkmar
a very impressive ice image. Since the ice on the Elbe waterway disrupts ship traffic, efforts are made to break the ice, unlike the remote lake in the Vallée de Joux – the ice images have such contrasting effects.

Hello Volkmar,
this year's winter offers impressive opportunities to demonstrate what cold can move or cause to freeze.
Great photo.

Thank you very much for your kind comments. Unfortunately, regarding the position of the sun, I was on the wrong riverbank, and since I didn't like the colors of the image against the sun, I changed it to black and white. I'm glad if you like it.

Hello Christine,
well, winter is a magician of nature ... and sometimes you have an eye for it ... and sometimes you manage to capture a magical work photographically.
Thank you for the kind comment

Either way, I like the picture.

The spider – or was it two? – has/have made the webs within a 12-hour shift.
