Picture of the Day - June 15, 2009

"Hindelang"

View of Hindelang from the Oberjoch in Bavaria, Germany.
Photo courtesy of Michael Marterer.            (Click on the photo for a larger view)

Germany is home to some of the most magnificent vistas in Europe, and today's picture by photographer Michael Marterer offers us a beautiful view of the small, yet highly popular tourist town of Hindelang (located in the German state of Bavaria). Mr.  Marterer took this photo of the town from atop the Oberjoch Pass.

A gorgeous landscape is a gorgeous landscape regardless of where it happens to be on the planet's surface. This one is simply spectacular, with the sun bursting through the clouds just enough to illuminate the houses and the surrounding fields to perfection. Outstanding job and a fine capture, Mr. Marterer!

    It's often luck that puts us at the right place, at the right time. But to have your camera on hand and the skill to take great photographs as well, I have to believe there's a power guiding us stronger than luck. Thanks Mr. Marterer, for sharing your talents and that wonderfully captured scene with us.

    What a magnificent scene Mr. Marterer! It looks like something we might see in a "fantasy" movie.

    To all: Many thanks for your comments. I'm very happy about your compliments for the photo. I always have a "small" photo equimpent in my car (Pentax K100D with 18-55 and 50-200zoom). This photo was made with the 18-55 standard-kit-objektiv. You see - you can make good photos with low budget equipment too :-)

    Greetings from Germany, and excuse my bad English.

    Michael
