Oelegg drumlins day to night

Spent a long evening in the drumlin fields around Menzingen like many years ago – but with much better camera equipment (and a bit more knowledge, too). The Oelegg location I found still to be the best one for a Western panorama with a set of these glacial hills. And I had the drone with me, too, to get a few aerial evening shots as well.

Dusk at Neu Falkenstein

A long evening for a timelapse at the viewpoint for Neu Falkenstein castle ruins also yielded a few individual shots.

Aargau Jura sunset

In a rural corner of Aargau canton along the rolling Jura hills, spent an evening in late spring waiting for the sun to set.

Mountainbike trail to Geissflue peak

It has almost become my home loop as a mountain bike trail, but then again there are so many varieties of trails to choose from that each run is different. What’s almost certain is that it will take me past Challhöchi and Geissflue view points and then I’ll enjoy the single trail down hill and traverse runs to Allerheiligenberg. And almost always there is a fantastic view and if I am lucky a chamois family.

Three-season bike ride

Starting in a very premature summer heat near Jenins, Graubünden, we ascended on our mountain bikes through spring forest and ended in surprisingly deep snow at a time we could not really turn around anymore, fighting our way through a secluded yet difficult to navigate valley.

Springtime at Lake Constance

Orchards are in bloom in late April near my old home at Lake Constance, with a good view from a higher vantage point near Langrickenbach, Thurgau

Andermatt Ski

Literally the last week of skiing in Switzerland before the world changed. Gütsch ob Andermatt near Oberalp pass.

Mozambique 2020-3

Drone aerials from the cyclone Idai-affected region of Buzi on the Buzi river – about 10 minutes but 3 hours by car from Beira!

Mozambique 2020-2

Trip from Beira in an IFRC Land Cruiser (involving a lengthy wait and a short ferry ride) to one of the most unlikely places I have ever visited, a resettlement camp of immense magnitude and issues, embedded in this pristine nature of the Buzi river.
