The gigantic rock stands where the Navajo Loop begins. Seeing it in the day time you won’t be impressed much. But at night when center of the milky way rises right behind it, silhouette of the rock was made vividly visible under the starry sky. There is a small tree on top of the rock. With the rock slightly “leaning forward”, it appears the small tree is indeed watching the Milky Way rise above the horizon, night in and night out…

~ My mate hiking through a foggy forest.

Hiking down from Wengen to Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland, you’ll be surprised how many sorts of landscapes are dotted across this small area of the Alps. Tunnel views through Lauterbrunnen and intimate landscape everywhere. But there are also less obvious images hidden in the forest.

Again, I took some inspiration from the cinematography by the late Andrew Lesnie of the Hobbit trilogy here. Curves adjustments and creative dodging and burning. Oh, and one darker exposure mixed in to keep it moody.

After being swallowed in fog for several days, it was fantastic to rise above the soup to see the sun setting over the nearby peaks.
