Re: Nice Shot

Thanks very much TyeDyeTwins - I'm glad to see that this pic is being appreciated! It was lovely on that particular spot on the way to the little peak above Berchtesgaden I went up yesterday!

Cheers,

Eric

Re: I like

I love the Watzmann as well, from this side as well as from the east, when standing high above the Königsee (which I already call "my private little fjord", as I live so near ;-)) and looking over to the formidable east wall, the highest one in the Eastern Alps...The Berchtesgadener Land has always been and will surely remain always a very special area to me! It's one of these spots where you can really "recharge the battery", as it's an area with a very positive feel to it!

Re: Nice

Thanks! It was, I must admit, one of these lucky coincidental hits, as it was more the Watzmann and Hochkalter I was fixed upon than what was near...it wasn't until afterwards that I saw the lovely "arch" that the forest had made on that picture, taken in that particular spot - I wasn't on top of the Kneifelspitze yet - in that particular moment. But I guess it's oftentimes the "non-constructed" views that turn out to be the most successful in the end...

Beautiful photo!!

I have not been to that region since I was 8 years old. It looks so beautiful in winter.

Re: Beautiful photo!!

On days like that it's gorgeous, yes! What I'm really looking forward to already now is May and June in that area...!
Thanks a lot for your comment and your 10/10 vote!

Greats scene

Nice photo! Having never been to the Alps, these peaks look way taller than 3,000 meters. Great work.

Re: Greats scene

Thanks very much! It's true, even though the Watzmann is still a 2000er, thanks to the great height difference between base and top on the north, the east and also the west side - the bases on these sides are not higher than 800 meters, while the summit is 2713 meters - it is a peak with dimension!

Interesting scene

I especially like the contrast in line forms--jagged peaks in the background compared to the smooth undulations of the treeline. Also the thin web-like layer of clouds wafting about the valley. Pretty nice! 10/10
