I had the pleasure of a few days in the mountains recently and – lucky me – the weather cooperated very nicely with my efforts to capture the grand landscape.
It was a beautiful, sunny day, except for a short while when dark clouds banded together and it looked like a storm was brewing. However, a few minutes later, the clouds passed and the day continued to be sunny.

My good friend Wolfgang has been very persistent in insisting that we take up hiking the mountains again, so that is what we recently did.
The plan was to go to the Rappensee and then hike some of the peaks there. I had spent the previous week (re-)paving around the house and my knees cried foul the second day. So I stayed at the Rappensee as he stormed the peaks. Fortunately, I do not need my knees to operate a camera.

The dramatic clouds you see in the pictures are slightly misleading: while there were a number of clouds about, it was actually quite sunny and warm.

Finally, here’s a panorama seen from the Seebichl:

I am really happy with the images and I am even happier that I spent some quality time with a good friend.
While in the mountains last weekend, I could not help but notice the white contrails of airplanes in the crystal clear blue sky.
Mountains and Contrails
Last weekend I spent some time in the mountains. The weather was unusually perfect for this time of the year: clear blue sky, sunshine, a slight breeze. I really should have brought my DSLR, but I was too lazy to carry so much weight, so the G9 was my tool of choice.
Image quality is a compromise, of course, but more than good enough for web use or up to medium print size. Sometimes, it is better to have a good time than to get the ultimate in image quality. 😉

I added some pictures I took while in the mountains with friends this summer.
You can find more mountain images in the gallery.
In case you are wondering: no, the photos where not all taken in the same location or even on the same trip. 😉
