A little more from Germany

 

Things were not in my favor  this week regarding any of my ongoing photography projects. Lack of time because of other things that came across was the main reason. I hope you don’t mind that I show you a couple more images from the recent hiking tour with my son André in the mountains of Saxon Switzerland over in Germany.

The view goes from the sand stone rocks of the “Rauensteine” over to the “Lilienstein”, one of the big buttes of the National Park region. The Elbe River cuts deep  into the sand stone and its water created a horseshoe shaped bend around the Lilienstein.

Finally, as we came back into the Elbe Valley some great light touched the rock formation of the Bastei again. Needless to say that a hiking tour in this region does not end without some great food and beer in one of the numerous restaurants or country pubs… ;-)

Hiking in Saxon Switzerland National Park

 

Just want to say hi to all friends and followers of my blog. I’m still in Germany and had for the first time a chance to make some clicks in good light. My son Andre and I went on a hiking trip into the mountains and rocks of Saxon Switzerland (German: Sächsische Schweiz), one of the most beautiful areas in Germany and only an hour and a half away from my hometown Bautzen. The picture shows one of the most iconic rock formations “Bastei”. Between my shooting location and the rocks on the other side, down in the valley, lies the Elbe River that flows towards Dresden, the capitol of our state of Saxony. A big part of this area belongs to the only National Park in the State of Saxony, Nationalpark Sächsische Schweiz. I hope you enjoy.
