Zermatt

by Gerry Pacher

The lake "Stellisee" is one of the more magnificent lakes in this area and can be easily reached from the Blauherd station in only 20 minutes. To capture the last evening or early morning light is an easy undertaking because a simple but very nice mountain hotel "Fluhalp" is situated very close to the lake. They are offering overnight stay possibilities from June to end of September and the food is excellent. Despite the fact that this sunrise shot was easily undertaken, I really enjoyed the fresh air and the colors. Enjoy the morning silence.
Equipment: Canon 1ds III, Canon 16-35mm 2.8 II

Magnificent. Easy to get to, or not, your mastery of the light and composition are evident. Thanks for sharing this memorable place with us.

Beautiful composition. I like the symmetry of the view, and I especially like the way all the colors of the mountain are repeated in the large central rock. What a lovely image!

This is a lovely part of the world; the way you use the light in this composition is very well done.

This must be a very high altitude place. The air seems so clear and the vegetation scarce. Nice pic.
