Traces of history / Lucerne, Switzerland

ID:17040087 / It’s no secret that this angle is amongst my favourites to capture the old town of Lucerne. The chapel bridge (Kapellbrücke) dates back to the early 1300’s. In 1993 the bridge was nearly completely destroyed by a big fire. Fortunately a small part of the historic triangle shaped paintings could be saved. This particular photo angle shows all these paintings lined up in sequence.

Looking up / Quarry bay, Hong Kong

Rise of the stars / Lucerne, Switzerland

ID:17050280B / This image shows the fall of night over lake Lucerne. The faded star trails are created by blending 120 consecutive exposures in Photoshop. The hotel Bellevue on top of Mt. Pilatus certainly offers amazing views of the area! Personally however I prefer more of a workout and usually hike up and down the mountain to enjoy the views.

Into the ice / Val d'Anniviers, Switzerland

ID:18020110 / What a magnificent feeling this was! Standing inside the eternal ice. And no: it does not always have to be Icelandic ice caves... This one is located in Switzerland. Thanks to Lorant for posing in the entrance of the cave to provide a sense of scale. Taken ultra-wide angle for some more "drama"

Mount Pilatus / Lucerne, Switzerland

ID:16040073 / A view of Mt. Pilatus and the city of Lucerne

Ponte Vecchio / Bassano del Grappa, Italy

ID:17030111 / Bassano del Grappa is not only the town where the famous distilled alcoholic drink "Grappa" originates from, but also a true gem when it comes to cityscape photography

Black sand beach / Vik, Iceland

ID:15120597 / Stormy weather and powerful waves at black sand beach near Vik

Lago Maggiore / Ascona, Switzerland

ID:16020104 / Harbor of Ascona during blue hour

Rhonegletscher / Gletsch, Switzerland

ID:16090094 / The origin of the river Rhone is located near Gletsch, just in between of the Grimselpass and the Furkapass. Here at an elevation of 2300m there is the possibility to enter into the blue world inside the glacier without needing any special equipment because the tunnel is manmade and prepared accordingly. Unfortunately, as with many glaciers in the alps, the ice is rapidly melting and during my visits over the last few years the tunnel path seems to have changed quite a bit.

Golden sunset / Frankfurt am Main, Germany

ID:17110220 / I couldn't have wished for any better circumstances to photograph the Frankfurt skyline. This day the cloud cover looked promising, so I decided to take advantage of it at a high viewpoint during sunset.

The Bund / Shanghai, China

ID:16120050 / Somehow during each visit to Shanghai a new tall building has popped up in this already impressive skyline

Schäl Sick Pano / Cologne, Germany

ID:17100041 / After taking a photo from the Kölner Dom from a high vantage point in the summer time, I came back to Cologne in Autumn and wanted to find a composition from the so-called “Schäl Sick” (the "wrong" side of the river Rhine) that shows the Kölner Dom, the Gross St. Martin, the old town hall as well as the television tower....and in such way the all construction cranes are hidden behind said buildings...I guess this angle worked out quite well!

The shed / Füssen, Germany

ID:11010228 / This setting transports a strong sense of the cosiness of winter

Golden sunset / Lucerne, Switzerland

ID:16110093 / The setting sun beautifully illuminated the cloud cover over mount Pilatus on this cold autumn day

Ferrying / Orta San Giulio, Italy

ID:16020008 / Sunset boat ride to the Isola San Giulio

Grand prismatic spring / Yellowstone, USA

ID:15080128 / The biggest and probably most beautiful thermal feature in Yellowstone

Snow on the water / Lucerne, Switzerland

ID:17010045 / A cold morning in Lucerne old town. The low water level in combination with the fresh snow make for an interesting winter scenery

Colors of autumn / Lucerne, Switzerland

ID:16100164 / A view from the rooftop of one of Lucerne's city wall towers during a vivid colorful sunset

Lake Stelli / Zermatt, Switzerland

ID:16090045 / Pastel sky colors during sunrise over the Matterhorn and lake Stelli

Looking thru / Lucerne, Switzerland

ID: 16060518 / A view of the chapel bridge, thru the handrail of the Rathaussteg bridge

Gorner glacier / Zermatt, Switzerland

ID:17090160 / One would think that being in the alps and far away from urbanisation results in quietness… but nothing could be less true! While sitting on the south rim of the Gornergrat and overlooking the massive Gorner glacier and Monte Rosa area it sounds like hundreds of cars are passing by below. Not really of course, but the melt water that forces its way through the landscape creates a significant ambient noise level. And in particular during the night, when no-one is around, it appears to be very loud!

Colors of spring / Merlischachen, Switzerland

ID:15050003 / Panorama of a rapeseed field and a typical Swiss farm at the shores of lake Lucerne

Canaletto / Dresden, Germany

ID:17100295 / This view from the east side of the river Elbe to the old Town of Dresden is called Canaletto view, which is named after the Italian painter Giovanni Antonio Canal. Also this panorama is referred to as "Elbflorenz" or "Elbe Florence" based on its similarity to its Italian counterpart. If you ask me, then I would say this view has more similarity to the view from the Ponte Umberto in Rome facing the St. Peters Dome in the Vatican... In any case there is an Italian touch to this eastern German city.
