End of Fall

Lovely late fall walk around Obersee, near Näfels, Switzerland this past weekend. Frosted ground, cold fingers, and some experimenting with the camera. The mountains had a fresh dusting of snow.

Fall Water, Falling

A lovely morning walk to one of our local waterfalls. I’ve been getting more mobile now that I’m 8+ weeks from minor surgery – finally feeling well enough to carry a light pack, the camera and tripod. This gem is about a 30 minute walk from the house.

Fall

My absolute favourite time of year has arrived and I find myself recovering from some minor surgery. Not being able to hike or move about much yet I took advantage of Switzerland’s fantastic cable cars…

Late afternoon light streaming into the valley at Hoch Ybrig after a cable car and chair lift ride to the top.

Mountains and valleys everywhere you look.

M31, Andromeda

Our spiral galaxy neighbour, taken from the terrace last night. Surprised that I was able to find it, and surprised that with pretty low tech approach I was able to get any sort of useable image…
