I was awe struck when I saw this structure for the first time. It’s a beautiful piece of Architecture built almost in the middle of nowhere. Well, actually its on top of Mount Saentis in East Switzerland.
The day was perfect with almost clear dark blue skies and bright sunshine. It makes me happy whenever I see this photograph.

Small lighted trees on the “Trump Tower” shaped in triangle look beautiful.

I find this picture very meditative. I can look at the clouds and get lost for some moments.

This was taken while I was hiking on Mount Saentis in Switzerland. It was a beautiful day with sun shining and clear blue skies. Later in the day clouds started gathering. I saw this guy standing on the edge and looking into the sky for a few minutes. I could not resist capturing this moment.

I am happy it came out nice.

Some post processing was done using Adobe Lightroom to punch the colors and contrast.

I took this shot while I was vacationing with my daughter in Canton Tessin, Switzerland, in the summer of 2008. We were hiking and suddenly we noticed clouds started surrounding the mountains. Clouds were moving so fast that I had only a split second to capture the mountain top in between clouds coming together from both sides.

This memory is still vivid in my mind. Whenever I look at it, it brings me back to that wonderful moment.

I am hooked to Chase Jarvis, a great photographer, not only for his talent but his willingness to share everything he knows about photography. Have a look at his Blog here.
The above song is from one of the dinner hosted as part of his project called SFEAD (Songs For Eating And Drinking). You can see other performances from the project here.
