Karwendel mountains from Wattens

Near Wattens in Inn river valley there's a permanent exhibition of Swarovski. The hall is underground, on top there is a small parc with a fine view on Karwendel. August, 2010.

Re: Absolutely...

Thanks, Marc. Still, this is artificial. A parc, but a nice one.

Thanks, Eric! Still, it's just a shot from before a visit of Swarovski world.

Re: Wonderful composition!

Just out of curiosity - how did you like the Swarowski? 'Cause, to tell you the truth, I was rather disappointed - it seemed all just so average to me - could have been anything. I remember walking out with a pretty distinct "so-what's-so-special?" feeling. Which reminds me that I found exactly the same thing about the famous "Jungfrau Park" in Interlaken when I visited it a bit over two months ago...

Re: Wonderful composition!

Hm? I liked it, yes, but found in it nothing so very special. May be our mood was a bit better, because that day was bad, mostly raining, so it was handy to find something in a covered place instead of inside. The majority of exposed articles is nothing special, but I liked a lot some of them. For example the mirror room. The big dome - you were inside and its walls are made of triangles. It was fun standing just in the centre of it. Jasmina suddenly found that not only the visual effect was fine, but that you also heard your voice loudly - as if somebody would put you on speakers. But it was not speakers. Your voice came back almost in total, because the ricochet from all directions had to come exactly back in the centre.

To summarize, the effect is built on sensations, our senses are not used that everything is shining. I prefer much more real art - paintings, sculptures, concertos etc. So, on the exit we also did not buy anything. Well... that's not an ultimate criterion, at least not with us.

Cheers!
