180°, 6000 Feet Above Walensee by pensrud



A pleasant snowshoe hike yielded a wonderful sunset. Sitting atop a mountain alongside a cliff, I peacefully enjoyed the gentle breeze and changing colors while drivers on the freeway down below sat in traffic following a weekend of skiing and winter activities. While I am sure many of them had a wonderful weekend, I wasn't envious to be sitting in traffic. I thought to myself, if only a couple of them could see the joy one could have sitting behind a camera screen on top of a mountain…but then I thought of patience and the love for the simple. I wondered to myself, of those cars and the people in them, what percentage could hike up a mountain? What percentage would enjoy that? What percentage would want to sit in the cold winter air with numb hands taking pictures? What percentage would see the beauty in that? And how many could sit still long enough without jumping on their cell phone to check Facebook, their emails, or to take a cell-fie… After these thoughts I turned the camera off and just sat for a few minutes watching birds coasting in the upward gusts of air, and a plane flying in the valley. Checked out the snow around me, and down the cliff. Took a deep breath and thanked myself for the effort to get there. After the colors faded I enjoyed a 2.5 hour hike back down to the car. The stars kept peeking out from behind a thin layer of clouds, and despite several opportunities for some nighttime winter astro images, I kept the camera in the pack, and just enjoyed a walk in the dark, with minimal flashlight…only using it once and a while if unsure of the terrain. Great evening.nice wallpaper picture free download via 500px http://ift.tt/1BtxUPX

Galactic Lake by JohannesNollmeyer



Shot in a clear summer night in the french alps in August 2014 at about 3000m after arriving this place in the darkness. I had to build the tent first at about 0°C, before i could start shooting this lake. This reprocessed version is the final image of my current milky way series.nice wallpaper picture free download via 500px http://ift.tt/1MlYhuc

Dance of Light by rmaric



Aiguille du Midi and Mont Blanc in background. Usually I hate if something stands in the way between the lens and the main object but that golden cloud was more then wellcome to pass trough the scene.nice wallpaper picture free download via 500px http://ift.tt/188b2fb

Tekapo Rush by PatrickMarsonOng



A rush of light, clouds and alpine waters on a colorful cold autumn morning at Lake Tekapo. It was like a sudden shot of adrenaline since I am used to seeing a calm and quiet lake during my previous visits.nice wallpaper picture free download via 500px http://ift.tt/1Eyitqc
