Alpine Bliss
Uploaded: August 28, 2008
Sunset at Engstlensee (lake) Bernese Oberland, Switzerland
This is just one example from a series ( 5GB of images)
You should have seen the setting sun on the mountains behind me….tomorrow!
Note: composed to include the Hutt on the left shore.
This photo took a lot of work to capture...travel, hike, camera prep, POV selection ( I was there a week ago scouting the location) wet shoes…tripod in the water as I was carefully balancing on rocks.
Canon 10-22mm lens, 81C filter, Cokin ND grad filter, camera tripod mounted…in the water!

Great panorama and your efforts are well worth your results. The sun rays from behind the clouds are worth mentioning here. A little more lighting would have made this picture unforgettable, Les
