5/22/04, 12:31 p.m., overcast conditions with heavy, low-lying clouds. Taken from side of road on way to Matterhorn. f/4.5, 1/280, ISO 160, handheld. Cloned out 2 lg. power lines in foreground that couldn't be shot around/through, added a hint of dreamy photo.

Simply beautiful Jan! Love everything about it! #132656Carolyn M. Fletcher May 29, 2004
Very beautiful, Jan! Don't you just hate power lines some days? #565547Allan L. Whitehead May 29, 2004
Wonderful capture and presentation, Jan, I love this. The effects are magnificent. Have a terrific holiday week-end, my very dear friend - your good friend, Allan #565551Gianna Stadelmyer May 29, 2004
Thanks, Karen and Carolyn! Yes, I do hate power lines some days....and they are horrendous here. You think of Switzerland as scenic mountain views and farmland, but everywhere you look are above ground power lines and HUNDREDS upon HUNDREDS of tram-line wires cutting through the cities and countryside alike. Very frustrating from a photographic standpoint! Thank goodness for PSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) #565553Kenton L. Elliott May 29, 2004
This is a superb image, and the work you did to present this is a real credit to you. Fantastic capture! #565554Gianna Stadelmyer May 29, 2004
Sorry, Allan, must've crossed in cyberspace as I ranted about power lines! LOL! Thank you as always for your most wonderful comment and support. You have a fabulous holiday weekend too....hopefully full of nice weather, yummy bbq's and lots of photo ops:-) #565557Gianna Stadelmyer May 29, 2004
