Time runs particularly fast on vacation, and the precision world champions from Switzerland can't do anything about that. At the end of today's stage it is half time again on our 6-day hike.



This route brought us the last part to the foot of the Alpstein massif. Many fields, a few farms and forest paths… voir plus

Oh man Lutz, in terms of photography it was the best day so far for me. The landscapes, the alpine panoramas ... 🤩 With that you awaken the wanderlust in me ... I already filled up my car today. But you know why I can't leave right now. I wish you three more wonderful hiking days. But I think of myself… voir plus

And ... guess you guys gave in. Cows have pretty good arguments. How quickly the weather changes in the mountains, you recorded great and I wish you always good visibility, of course completely unselfish ^^

Every picture a postcard. And all without postage. 👍🏼

Here, on the third stage, the path lived up to its name. Wide panoramic views from the beginning to the end of the hike, provided the clouds played along. My favorites of the day: the unknown summit, the Jakobskapelle and the summit cross.

Beautiful again. I'm excited! And since you don't just want to hear “I think it's great”, I would like to refer you to my favorite picture, the cows in front of the Säntis. Many would have photographed the summit here, or the cows with a meter space to the left and right. You take in both and, above… voir plus

Very well seen photos again today 👌 my favorite is clearly picture no. 2, because here typical landscape and typical technology are very clean in front of the imposing Säntis.

In picture 1, the hilly Spitz slightly to the right of the center is the Fähnerenspitz, the northernmost Swiss pre-Alpine summit… voir plus

Well, Jörg, soon it will be that time again and you can take off. Until then, I'll try to entertain you 🤪.

I am very happy that my pictures are so well received by you 😀.

Of course we made it look as if we hadn't given in, Gabriela. At least the cows couldn't argue. We took the mooing as approval.

Your unselfishness honors you very much and I am happy about your praise.

Cool, jogging bread, I'm very happy about your recognition.

The photo of the summit cross also has a little story, Silvia. The Bavarian couple (I took the origin from what was said 😀) had just settled down at home for a break, so no picture was possible without "outside influence". I approached her accordingly and asked for this little pose. I thought they did well.

What a nice comment, Burkhard! Thanks a lot for this.

I love the subject of image composition, which is much more important to me than any technology and is often underestimated. You also just picked out the picture that I worked on for a while in order to find the best relationship between the cows and the mountain for me.
