(Definitely best viewed on black.) This is the view north from the summit of Mount Pilatus, Switzerland. The focal point of the picture is the small church, precariously positioned on a cliff edge and whose shadow rakes across the snow. I tried a variety of crops and decided on a panoramic image which seemed to give the best sense of scale, perspective and altitude. (A bit unseasonal - I’m just trying to vary my uploads.)

An encapsulation of the variety of activities and pursuits undertaken on a crisp winter’s morning around the northern shores of Lake Annecy. The lake is purported to be Europe’s cleanest.

Dawn over Lake Lucerne captured from a balcony in the Hotel Montana where we spent February half-term a couple of years ago. Aside from a slight crop I didn’t process the image – rather, I used a pale orange graduated filter to bring out the colours and balance the light. Now, I prefer to use neutral filtration and manipulate any colour in software. Thanks for looking.

The castle at Duingt reflected in the waters of Lake Annecy. This scene was captured early on a February morning from the pier belonging to the hotel we were staying in. Thanks for viewing.
