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 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.
