On my way back from Zermatt to Zurich I drove through this amazing vale, near Brig. This is a panorama, stitched with AutoPano from 12 single images.

After my little misinterpretation about Zermatt’s traffic regulations (no cars allowed – $700 fine if you get caught), I ended up having to hike for 2.5h, 4 miles and about 1000 meters in altitude with roughly 15kg on my back. Finally, I arrived at Stellisee, a small lake with a fantastic panorama of the Swiss Matterhorn. After I finished shooting, I hiked back the super dark trail, well prepared like any other mountain guide, with my new iPhone flashlight app!

Photo comes straight out of the camera, so no further alterations.

Apocalypse – digital composition created in Photoshop CS4

I wanted to let you know that I uploaded a new version of “Driftwood” to my wallpaper section. This version is much clearer and has no ghosting anymore since I created it from a single RAW image instead of a 3 JPEGs HDR.
I don’t even hope, I’m sure you’re gonna like it! =D

I took this photo during a full moon night on the small island Huvafen Fushi / Maldives. It was so bright that you could have easily read a newspaper that night!

Maligne Lake is a lake in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. It is approximately 22.5 km (14 mi) long and 97 m (318 ft) at its deepest point.

The name Maligne is French for "wicked", and was used by Father Pierre-Jean De Smet (1801-1873) to describe the treacherous river that flows from the lake. The name soon spread to the lake, canyon, pass, mountain and range.

The lower falls (44°43′05″N 110°29′46″W) are 308 feet (94 m) high, or almost twice as high as Niagara. The volume of water is in no way comparable to Niagara as the width of the Yellowstone River before it goes over the lower falls is 70 feet (22 m), whereas Niagara is a half mile (800 m).

The lower falls descend from the 590,000 year old Canyon Rhyolite lava flow. The lower falls of the Yellowstone is still the largest volume major waterfall in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. The volume of water flowing over the falls can vary from 63,500 USgal/s (240 m³/s) at peak runoff to 5,000 USgal/s (19 m³/s) in the fall.
