Stormy weather over the First by ManuelMartin1972
Well, some weeks ago we were with friends at this location called „First“. And after some time and lots of work we built a fantastic fire and were able to grill our own snake bread and sausages. The women chatted, the children were playing together and the men were playing with their model aircrafts. Well, unfortunately this is not my hobby. In the distance I could already see the beginning of the Alps and I had such a hunger for adventure! But I was also able to observe how slowly a storm formed around us! Cool! Well, since I had my backpack with my equipment always with me, I could not resist this temptation and took this picture before it started to rain!
Thank you for your time and interest in my photos, your visit is most appreciated 🙂

Feel the light by ManuelMartin1972
Well, this is now my last landscape shot for the next few weeks. I will be traveling and I really hope to see the sea during my trip (you already know that there is no sea here in Switzerland he he he). I wish everybody a wonderful summer and a good time. Take care and stay safe!
What you see here is another shot of the area where I live. I was on a hill that evening and could see how the sun was illuminating the area on both sides of the hill in front of me. A wonderful moment and a situation I would not want to have missed in my life. And I hope you like it 🙂
Thank you for your time and interest in my photos, your visit is most appreciated 🙂

Sunset from the tower Eschenbergturm by ManuelMartin1972
We have a 30 meter high steel tower on a mountain called „Eschenberg“ in Winterthur, the town where I live. Personally, I call it a hill and not a mountain because it is only 600 meters high he he he. But the view over the area from there is really fantastic. Well, and the weather forecast predicted some thunderstorms that evening, so I thought why not make some shots from the tower before the bad weather reaches our town! Nevertheless I had a strange feeling because the steel tower would not be the best place to make shots during a thunder storm he he he 🙂
It was too early when I reached the place and I had to wait more than one hour till the sunset, but fortunately I met a small group of couples who just made a fire to roast sausages and meat. And hey, one of the guys had the same camera like me. Can you imagine we both talking and talking about photography till the sunset. It was really wonderful and a great pleasure to meet such wonderful and fine persons 🙂 And 15 minutes before the sunset we went up the tower to make some shots. And then the sky burning came … what a spectacle we had over the forest in front of us. And every time we had taken a photo, the sky was even better and more spectacular. A never ending story making one shot after the other! That night I think I went to bed with a smile on my face!

The Painkiller after Sunset by ManuelMartin1972
Well, the evening I made this shot here I had a small accident in the kitchen. I wanted to make a few sausages in the pan. But since I didn’t want to have a big mess in the kitchen, I put the pan in the oven. By the way … sausages made in the oven taste great 😉 Half an hour later, the sausages were good fried and I wanted to remove the pan from the oven. In my left hand I had the newspaper and was just reading an article and then it was clear what happened. I was distracted and took the pan by hand out of the oven. My wife just came home and found me in the kitchen. „What are you doing“ she asked! „Dancing Baby, I’m dancing!“ was my response. Do you remember the old movies of Tom and Jerry? Well, mentally at this moment I ran like a rocket to the next mountain, there I screamed so loud that I have certainly woken up the whole world, and then I ran back quite quickly he he he 😉 Of course I had a lot of pain and could therefore not sleep! in the meanwhile, everything is alright again, but just imagine how I was looking the next days when I went to the office. I had a bandage … damn, I was looking like Michael Jackson 😉
But that evening I didn’t know what to do! Pain, and too much time to wait till the next morning! So I took a frozen sausage and tied it around my hand. That was wonderful … a feeling like vacations! I took my backpack with the photo equipment and went into the woods with our dog Giorgio. The distraction in the woods was really wonderful. Well, and that evening I made this shot at the edge of the forest. I think this image here will always remind me to make less nonsense 😉
