Zürich in autumn

Säntis

one of my favourite hikes in Swiss alps

Mythen (grosse und kleine)

last weekend was the first hike of the season and when reached this place i thought it would make a nice picture, luckily the farmer was kind enough to let us camp on his ground. It was a rough night with a…hmm…best described as dry storm, now we know the tent can take heavy winds

Stars trail over Matterhorn

fantastic location, the weather conditions almost perfect, 2 batteries depleted over night, i’m very happy with this picture but i still have to go there again to get exactly what i have in mind…realised i need a moonless night… if you look carefully at Matterhorn’s down right side you can see light trails of the […]

Sunrise over Matterhorn

Matterhorn at dawn

this is the first attempt at capturing stars-trail over matterhorn, i only got these two pictures then the clouds rose…waited and waited…to realize the best view would’ve been from the hotel window not down there in the cloud watching the dew freezing on camera…i’ll go again in 3 weeks time, the moon will be at […]

Bachalpsee (long time obsession)

this sunday we’ve been hiking along the Schynige Platte, one of the nicest hikes in Switzerland, being rewarded at the end of it with this magnificant lake. I am waiting for almost 3 years to photograph this lake during the night with stars trails and reflection of the mountains on the water…but is not easy […]

Sechseläuten parade

This Zurich spring custom got its unusual name from the fourteenth century custom of ringing a Grossmünster bell at six o’clock in the evening to proclaim the end of the winter semester working day. The first ringing of the bell provided a good opportunity for a small springtime celebration.

if i’d have to chose one theme this would belong to i’d say this is my first attempt of photojournalism. sometime last summer the train system between Geneva and Lausanne was complettely paralyzed for about 3 hours…it was such a big difference in how the very same issue has been addressed by the german part […]
