280 | Matterhorn Sunset | Zermatt, Switzerland Click the image to take a closer look.		When we travelled to one of the most photographed mountain lakes in Switzerland, we've met numerous photographers who were hoping for a beautiful sunset at the Matterhorn (4478m) as well. In the afternoon we were joking about how red the sky would be at sunset. We weren't actually thinking that the colors would be so intensive. Even the photos taken with mobile phones were looking superb. One hour after sunset clouds moved in and at an altitude of 2600m the visibility was almost zero. Never had such a luck with the weather. What an experience! SEE DETAILS | BUY PRINT
366 | Alpine Meditation | Innerthal, Switzerland Click the image to take a closer look.		Most of my tours I plan according to one image that I have in mind. It is a successful trip if I’m able to capture this very image. It wasn’t any different this time. Mount Tierberg (1989m) is a real beauty if you see it from the correct side. You can almost feel how the rocks have pushed against each other and built this peak. When I was standing on the summit of Mount Bockmattli and the sun was slowly rising behind Mount Tierberg, I had to watch my steps because one meter next to the summit cross there was a vertical drop heading down to the canton of Glarus. Therefore, I was standing still and waited for this unique moment when the first sunrays touch your skin. Exactly due to such moments the landscape photography is my passion. SEE DETAILS | BUY PRINT
549 | The Art of Lava | Kalapana, Hawaii Click the image to take a closer look.		After days of trying to see the flowing from up close we felt every muscle in our bodies.

When I was standing by this half heart shaped crack in the lava, the goddess of weather presented me with an incredible sunset. In this picture you can see that nature finds its way even in the harshest environments. SEE DETAILS | BUY PRINT

637 | Vista of my Ancestors | Schönenberg, Switzerland Click the image to take a closer look.		For more than 30 years I’m visiting my family for Christmas in the canton of Zurich. When on that morning thick fog was lying over Lake Zurich I brought my camera for the first time with me. Arrived at the farmhouse of my ancestors the vista was just breathtaking. The fog was slowly moving over the hills vegetated with solitary trees. What a great view from the garden of my grandparents. SEE DETAILS | BUY PRINT

394 | One Golden Second | Oetwil am See, Switzerland Click the image to take a closer look.		Sometimes I have the feeling it has to be destiny.

205 | Last Day of Summer | Arosa, Switzerland Click the image to take a closer look.		Lake Älplisee in Arosa in the canton of Graubünden is located at 2156m and is famous for its calm surface therefore it shows a perfect reflection of the surrounding mountains Aroser Rothorn (2980m), Älplihorn (3005m) and Tschirpen (2728m).It was a relatively easy 1,5h hike from Arosa with 17kg in my backpack. The idea was capturing the sunset, the Milky Way and the sunrise. Here is what I got. The weather was pretty ugly when I reached the lake, raining and 3°C. Luckily it stopped after a half an hour that I was able to capture the reflections of the mountains. Unfortunately there was no weather change in sight so I decided to walk back and put the sunrise on my 2do list for next time. SEE DETAILS | BUY PRINT
234 | Frozen Sunrise | Zürich, Switzerland Click the image to take a closer look.		I live in Zurich for seven years now but I never had such a clear sight of the Glarner and Schwyzer Alpes. At this January 2nd the sunrise was predicted for 8:11. I got up while it was still dark and escaped the foggy city towards Mount Uetliberg 869m. Unfortunately the tower at the summit was closed due to ice, nevertheless the view was breathtaking. Just before sunrise I was able to capture this photo which shows the Albis with the Alpes in the background. I think this is the most beautiful picture that I was able to take in Zurich, despite the city is actually not visible. SEE DETAILS | BUY PRINT

On the photo you can see the Lake of Lugano with the city of Lugano. On the left there's S.Salvatore (912m) which is the other famous point to ascend.

After we set up the tent on top of Mount Brüschstockbügel (1488m) and mounted our cameras on our tripods we were ready for the sunset.

The cloudy sunset gave the mountains Redertenstock (2295), Mutteristock (2294), Silberen (2319m), Fluebrig (2093m) above the Lake Wägitalersee and the Glarus Alps in between a very nice glow.

279 | Derborence Sunrise | Derborence, Switzerland Click the image to take a closer look.		There are many mountain lakes in Switzerland, in my eyes this place is one of the most beautiful sceneries. The route leads through a wide wine country, narrow roads carved into the rocks and one of the most native forests of our country. Steep cliffs and high mountains are a common sight in this region. In other words the journey is an adventure for itself. In September we met cold temperatures during the night. The ground was frosty and therefore I was able to place the tripod closer to the water. The shore was already covered with ice and due to the cold the lake was like a mirror. When the clouds began to glow the valley awoke to new life. SEE DETAILS | BUY PRINT
281 | Into the Abyss | Kandersteg, Switzerland Click the image to take a closer look.		The Bernese Oberland is famous for its steep cliffs and a paradise for action junkies.

364 | Bockmattli | Innerthal, Switzerland Click the image to take a closer look.		This photo was for a long time a project what I had in my heart. For almost 32 years now I look up to the steep rock face of Mount Bockmattli and every time I think, what a mountain! I’ve never been up here because of the steep and exhausting hike, but last week it was about time. I packed my camera, my tent and a lot of water and carried my 19kg heavy gear at 30°C up the 1022m in altitude. When I reached the summit at 1932m the view was as fantastic as I thought it would be. Just perfect! SEE DETAILS | BUY PRINT
375 | Iceland | Melchsee-Frutt, Switzerland Click the image to take a closer look.		When I visited Melchsee-Frutt for the first time after 25 years it felt almost like Iceland. The landscape remembered me of the vast green spaces of the volcanic island. Already in the afternoon the light was playing with the clouds and created magical looking rays. At sunset the moment was so intense that I almost dropped my camera off the tripod. Nice to know is that this place is very close to the geographical center of Switzerland. I didn’t know that before a local told me so. SEE DETAILS | BUY PRINT
403 | Golden Lake | Sils, Switzerland Click the image to take a closer look.		The Autumn in the Engadin is very special. For a short time, the Larks turn the whole region in a valley of gold.

The blue color of the lake and the snowy summit of Mount Piz da la Margna (3159m) made this image even more beautiful. SEE DETAILS | BUY PRINT

Again, I missed it. The flowing lava from the day before was gone but still very hot on the surface. So hot that the shoes of my girlfriend melted. At least there was a beautiful sunset that we didn’t go for nothing. SEE DETAILS | BUY PRINT
546 | Nature Untouched | La Paz, Costa Rica Click the image to take a closer look.		In Costa Rica I felt like traveling back in time. In its beautiful nature you find yourself in jungle with no human soul for miles. Sometimes I had the feeling there has to be a dinosaur around the next corner. Some plants I was seeing for the first time and they were just huge, like this 1,5m large leaf in the picture. Never before I was standing speechless in the green that often like in this Central American paradise. This was for sure not my last visit to this wonderful country. SEE DETAILS | BUY PRINT

The clouds turned red while the volcano Kilauea was smoking as always. You can see its smoke in the upper right part of the photo.

665 | 17 Years | Rapperswil, Switzerland Click the image to take a closer look.		The wooden bridge from Rapperswil to Hurden was built back in 2001. Approximately a thousand times I came by this bridge but never visited it. On this cold winter morning, I finally took some time and enjoyed a moment of peace on the bridge after 17 years. At sunrise, the icy bridge was defrosted and painted in gold by the rising sun. SEE DETAILS | BUY PRINT

726 | The Magic of Val Müstair | Cierfs, Switzerland Click the image to take a closer look.		The Val Müstair in the Unterengadin seems to me every time like a dreamy spot of earth where there is not much going on. A place where you can recharge your batteries in peace and quiet. This was also the case on this December evening, when the crescent shaped moon could be seen in the evening light above the church of Tschierv. SEE DETAILS | BUY PRINT
