I am a photography learner and live in Switzerland. As an Acquarious, I am a free spirit, and live peacefully day by day. I have reached an age, in which I take it easy and step by step.
I have a full time job, but here I will post about my time off, as I did on Facebook (which I decided to leave behind for its toxicity, and I am glad I made the switch here). I like hiking, going to museums, visits cities and driving around, going to classical music concerts and taking photos and videos.

Backlight Cranes: attempt nr. 1

You want to get a shot of a nice lovely village, landscape, city and just that one awesome shot is disrupted by cranes!!! πŸ˜† How many times I got annoyed, because the nice shot would have become ...not as good! So, rather than being annoyed with cranes every other day, why not photographing them?!?! Make them be the metallic VIP photo element. Here's my 1st attempt 🀭 .

Lunch break walk

Tree roots are at times soooo giant, that size and length can be impressive. Old trees, giant roots, but still peacefully standing. Peacefully or maybe hurtful, as most of the times roads are constructed on them πŸ₯Ή.

Trees have an amazing beauty when you look them up, but even when you look at their roots, so much can be told about those kind giant presence...

Lunch break: A hot summer walk (part 2)

... and to my surprise, there are buildings with beautiful flowers here and there, so, even details can contribute to make a photographic lunchtime pleasant. And so, let's keep shooting to see the wonders of this world, often unnoticed by the distracted mind, that wonders everywhere, but in the present moment...

Lunch break: A hot summer walk (part 1)

As I have spent the weekend at home, as I was not too well, today I took my Bambolina (Panasonic Lumix S1IIE) the Lumix 24-105MM and went for some hunting for beauty in my workplace neighbourhood. Well, the more I filter ugly stuff, the more intresting details come out πŸ€©πŸ“Έ. This is why I love photography: it is a mental exercise πŸ€­πŸ€­πŸ€­πŸ“ΈπŸͺ·πŸ’.

Refreshing Saturday after the first, and earlier than usual, heatwave in Europe. Lugano was 33°C with high humidity, so I went out the bare minimum... back in Engadin, today I happily walked again from Silvaplana to Sils-Maria: sunny, soft wind, for a lovely scenic walk (12 km in total), had a picknick and just few people around. I took the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 with me: light and fun 😊😍.

Luzern - Mini holiday around Switzerland - (part 4b)

As I was saying, one fun day in Luzern can be spent at the Transport Museum! Some places have Disneyland, we have the Transport Museum, which is equally fun and interesting and constructive... great fun for kids, but not only 🀩🀩.

So, have a few shots from some areas of this big area πŸ€©πŸ“ΈπŸ˜.

Luzern - Mini holiday around Switzerland πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­ (part 4a)

My little holiday has started in Basel, with a dramatic bad weather πŸ™ˆπŸ˜„β˜”οΈ. But I love Basel, anyway. Then, Solothurn (and the photos in the previous post), then Bern... but I accidentally erased the photos πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ. Now, I am ending my holiday in Luzern, again, which I love very much and the Transport Museum is a must!!! All in all, I had a good time off πŸ˜πŸ€©πŸ“Έ.

Solothurn - Mini holiday around Switzerland πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­ (part 2b)

The beauty of Solothurn it's all in its narrow roads, where windows have their blinds open, and here and there with beautiful old fountains. It must be visited, to just admire how much of that past has been preserved with care, like the main clock tower, the cathedral and ... all buildings. I loved it and would like to return 😍 this summer β˜€οΈ πŸ˜πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­πŸ“Έ.

Solothurn - Mini holiday around Switzerland πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­ (part 2a)

After having spent the whole day in Solothurn, I was quite disappointed by my shots, as it isn't that easy to photograph all its beauty... I have to train a bit more with the street photography πŸ™ˆπŸ˜…πŸ˜….

Solothurn joined in with Switzerland and was officially recognised in 1481 πŸ‡¨πŸ‡­πŸ˜. It has preserved its old town so graciously πŸ˜πŸ“Έ.
