The best-laid plans can go awry. It happens to all of us from time to time. You set off to go somewhere, maybe an hour’s drive away, may be further afield for a photo shoot. It may be a place you’ve been to before and you have some particular images in mind to re-shoot or […]
Do chances come your way? When was the last time you had a chance to take an unusual image and you missed it? Do you recognize chance, photographically speaking? Most of us like to exist in our comfort zones in many walks of life – we are risk averse. Risk is dangerous – things can […]
It is said that the camera never lies. In fact it can tell a cruel version of the truth all too clearly – think of all those images you will have seen of politicians, celebrities or other prominent people papped at their worst: asleep inappropriately, yawning, having a bad hair day, eating a bacon sandwich […]
I must start with an apology as it is now a few weeks since I last wrote an entry on this blog. The truth is that I have been acquiring new images at a frantic pace, and that makes the title of this post particularly relevant. Every time you go out and capture a few […]
Beautiful scene, Andy.
Thanks Ken. These mountains are part of the high ridge that separates the Zermatt valley from the Saas valley where we spent our first week. These mountains are magnificent from either side.
Wonderful image… excellent. Wish I was there!
Thanks John. It’s a great place to visit if you ever plan a trip to this part of the world
What a trip. The photos have been truly beautiful.
Thanks very much Linda – I’m glad you have enjoyed them. I’m in the process of getting them transferred to the main desktop and can then have a better look and work out what to post next.
That is so majestic Andy. Glad you finally got great weather at least on the last day. Travel well my friend.
Thanks Len. Home safely, and just sorting myself and the images out. For a brief hour or two we had probably the best early afternoon weather of the entire second week.
Great shot of the Mischabel Peaks – is that the gorge on the way to Trift Hut and the Mettelhorn?
Yes it is Pete. I was in cloud the entire walk up to the Trift Hut where I had a one minute glimpse of Monte Rosa through a gap in the cloud base and some views up to the Rothorn Hut and the environs. I had promised I would be down by lunch for a Pizza with my wife (last day) and so couldn’t hang around any longer. Made it down from Trift in 45mins! On the way I got this great view just above the Edelweiss hut/cafe. The Matterhorn actually showed its full self too and we had a sunny afternoon (actually about 90mins worth!). It was raining again late pm and Wednesday was torrential rain and, from what I read, the whole of central Europe had a stormy day. A bumpy ride in the plane coming home.
