Photographer by passion for years, I like in particular the photography of landscape and nature generally.
Always in search of the best light and of the most original angle, I “hunt” all the time for the most beautiful places which surround me.

    So beautiful. Reminds me of the mountains in California.

    Really hostile rugged territory. The small train in the corner adds persprective and scale. Really good Landscape shot with an unusual inovative cropping.
    My 2 cents : The patches of red in the foreground are competing with the train. If one is open to change then one can either clone them out or change them to green in the Hue Saturation adjustment layer.

    Sorry, where in Switzerland is this? Or which railway is it?

    I loved seeing the vegetation creeping up the mountains. With global warming, this could become a tropical forest some day :)

    Fantastic photo–don’t change a thing! Am I imagining things, or is that a ski lift and ski trails dead ahead? This really pulls the viewer in……..over the hill, down to the left, and then…?
