Last view to the „Rheinfall“ in Autumn by ManuelMartin1972

I hope you enjoyed all my images from the „Rheinfall“ I made in summer and in autumn. Well, and this one here is now my last image from this place in autumn. I, for one, am looking forward to the winter, because I have the desire to visit this amazing place in every season. And I hope it will have a lot of snow and ice, because I’m already curious about how this place will look in a winter dress.

Thank you for your time and interest in my photos, your visit is most appreciated 🙂

Moment before sunrise by ManuelMartin1972

This image was taken at that day when I photographed the „Rheinfall“ by moonlight. I think this moment here I was able to enjoy happened 30 minutes before sunrise, and I had a bit of stress, because I didn’t want to waste my time and was searching several spots at this location, before the light would be too strong. What I really love is when you can see in the dark how the light is slowly gaining the upper hand against the darkness. I hop you like it 😉

Thank you for your time and interest in my photos, your visit is most appreciated 🙂

Autumn colors on the „Rheinfall” by ManuelMartin1972

Two weeks ago I posted a photo of the „Rheinfall“ I made in the middle of the night by moonlight! And it was surely clear that I didn’t want to miss the sunrise to make more pictures. I think it’s getting an addiction to visit this place, because I’m thinking about to return to this place in winter when I can find ice and snow here (hopefully)! It is also striking to see how low the water level is … well, we had a wonderful and warm summer here in Switzerland 🙂 But nevertheless the beautiful colors compensate the fact of the low water level.

Thank you for your time and interest in my photos, your visit is most appreciated 🙂

Moonlight over the “Rheinfall” by ManuelMartin1972

A few weeks ago I was once again on the „Rheinfall“, because I wanted to photograph this natural spectacle in the autumn. Have you ever seen the „Rheinfall“ by night? And I mean really by night without any artificial light? The light you see here in the picture comes completely from the moonlight. I got up really early and made my way to one of the largest waterfalls in Europe and had still a few hours until dawn. I couldn’t almost see the waterfall because it was dark as in the stomach of a cow. But I could hear the waterfall. And thanks to the moonlight I could make this shot here. On the left you can see just a little arm of the cascade. The main part of this natural wonder isn’t visible from my position here, but you can see the tremendous effect of the impact of the waterfall with the river farther back on the right.

Thank you for your time and interest in my photos, your visit is most appreciated 🙂

Traditional shot of the “Rheinfall” by ManuelMartin1972

In my last post I already showed you a different picture of the Rheinfall, apparently a picture from an angle not often seen on the Web. But as I already told you, I also made some ordinary and traditional shots of the cascade … how could it be otherwise he he he … the light was delicious and I was there … so why not! And traditional because it has already been done to thousands or perhaps millions of times. So I present you my picture … actually the tralala million and one photo of this place 😉

This cascade is located near the town of Schaffhausen in northern Switzerland, between the municipalities of „Neuhausen am Rheinfall“ and „Laufen-Uhwiesen“ and is actually the largest plain waterfall in Europe! The building in front is the „Laufen Castle“. It is a Swiss heritage site of national significance overlooking the Rhine Falls. The first documented reference to the castle dates to the year 858 when it was the home of the Barons of Laufen, but today this castle serves as a tourist attraction. In the distance on the right you can see the „Wörth Castle“ where you can find a fine restaurant and a souvenir shop today!

I think that I will return to this place to make some other shots from different angles in Autumn, when the colours of the leaves change! And in the meantime I hope you like this picture here!

Thank you for your time and interest in my photos, your visit is most appreciated 🙂

The Rheinfall at Neuhausen by ManuelMartin1972

Well, some time ago I showed you a picture of a small waterfall in Fischenthal. And I told you that the 2 biggest waterfalls of Europe are the „Dettifoss“ in Iceland and the „Rheinfall“ at Neuhausen in Switzerland. A shame that I never made some photos of the „Rheinfall“ … a shame because this location is only 30 minutes by car from my house! Well, I made 2 photos now he he he. There were only 2 problems. Problem number one: too many tourists! Problem number two: There are millions of pictures of this waterfall, and trying to make something special becomes really difficult! Solution to problem number one: Be there at 4 o’clock in the morning and wait till the sunrise. For sure you will not see one single and sane tourist! This was very easy to me 🙂 It was a refreshing morning walk for me and my dog Giorgio. Solution to problem number two was a bit more difficult. Of course I made the standard and traditional shots of the cascade, but I also tried this composition here in my actual photo. Looking to the big cascade I simply turned 90 degrees to the left and had the big river in front of me! I think I rarely saw a similar shot of this area and was really happy to have found something different. So I waited to the sunrise and made this shot here!

Thank you for your time and interest in my photos, your visit is most appreciated 🙂
