Photographer’s Note

Here on TE Moraine Lake is a favorite subject, but for us Europeans it is a bit far to go for a smalll shooting session, last time I saw Moraine Lake in summer 1993 I had a bad camera and the weather was miserable, couldn't change the weather but I bought my Olympus IS-1000 few days later in Vancouver...

The good news is also here in Europe we have plenty of beautiful alpine lake, such as here the Seealpsee situated at the foot of the Säntis in the Alpstein mountain range, I tried to get there by the end of march but the way was blocked by an avalanche, now the way is free and already numerous hikers patroll the area, but there are no cows yet, they'll get to the alp in late may.

The day was too windy to get the spectacular reflections that make the Seealpsee so popular but later when hiking in the background of that image I saw a chamois at close distance.

Enjoy this early visit to "my" Moraine lake, only a hour away from the Wasserauen railway station, but please keep your clothes on ;-)
