2021-12-04 MOUNTAIN HOTEL IN DAVOS

This hotel in Davos can only be reached by cable car, and it takes you on a journey into the past. The furnishings with old crystal luster, brass paneling, and leather armchairs are reminiscent of the 1950s, a flair that fascinated me.

2021-07-04 HOTEL IN DAVOS

The old wooden hotel on a mountain in Davos had an air of ancient times in it. It was kept in good shape and offered an experience between nostalgia and mountain panoramas. Outside there was a herb garden and a botanical garden to visit.

2020-09-21 FRESH HERBS FOR THE HOTEL GUESTS

The Schatzalp Hotel in Davos has a special goodie for its guests. Fresh herbs from the in-house herb gardens. They have about a dozen herb gardens with hundreds of herbs; cleary signed and separated. This structure makes it easier for the kitchen assistant to find their way around. For the photo, I used the combination of the new Sony A7R IV with the older Leica Elmar 35-70 F4 R lens.

2020-09-17  DARK CLOUDS OVER THE MOUNTAINS

Sometimes you get more spectacular clouds than the mountains itself. The weather didn’t turn out as bad, as the clouds would have forecasted. But I didn’t know before, so I took the cable car back to the valley instead of walking.

2020-09-06  THE SWISS MOUNTAINS

My wife Karin worked for one year in Switzerland. Though it was thirty years ago, she wants to see Switzerland now and then. In August we made a 2-day trip, where I could get some mountain-peak photos. Always fascinating how clean and neat this country is. I wondered how many Jews I saw in Davos and Klosters, and I had them on my photo too. It seems it is a popular holiday destination for them.

2020-09-04  THE RHAETIAN RAILWAY

It was fascinating to watch the Swiss trains always coming on time in the stations. The rail operations are running like clockwork. On the photo is my son, Maro, waiting to get to Klosters.

2020-08-22  SWITZERLAND, THE CLASSIC LOOK

Swiss cheese, watches, and the mountains are the classic looks of Switzerland. Since my wife didn’t want to fly during these times, we took the seven-hour drive to Switzerland. In Klosters, I got a magnificent panoramic view of the mountains. The cool thing was the combination of the new Sony A7R IV and the old Leica Elmar 35-70 F4 lens, which I attached with an e-mount to Leica R adapter.

2019-10-27 SOME DRINKS IN ASCONA

Since my wife worked in Switzerland during her gastronomy training for one year, twenty years ago, we decided to revisit Switzerland. The journey brought us from Chur, where she worked back then, to Ascona in Ticino. At a bar, we had a Hugo Cocktail, where my focusing was merely on the glasses. 🙂

2019-10-24 WATER LILY IN A BOTANICAL GARDEN

The Botanical Garden of St. Gallen convinces with an appropriate variety and ingenuity of the flower creations. Many exotic plants are meticulously maintained. The ponds are home to many different water lilies. Informational cards describe the origin and cultivation of the plants.

2019-07-05 LAGO MAGGIORE SWITZERLAND

A Swiss lake stretching from Ticino to Italy. I did the tour from Ascona across the Italian border with an e-bike. It was a 20-kilometer drive that I used for a swim in the lake and was able to shoot some photos — an impressive landscape, between the foothills of the Swiss mountains merging into the warm Mediterranean landscape.
