Together with today's posting I wanted to add this one, a shot with edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum) and the landscape, which, most unfortunately, was not a success. There were blooming lots of these famous flowers around the hut, fortunately not picked by tourists (main cause they cannot be found any more on many sites). **Tips for shooting landscapes and flowers together**: use wide angle (28 mm as I use is, in fact, still not enough), 24 mm or smaller is great. Close the aperture as far as possible (f/32 or further) and focus very closeby. Compose your image with flowers and landscape (I am used to lie down on my stomach with low flowers like I've done in [Turtmannhütte](http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=1122569&Start=1&Artist=jcv2&ByArtist=Yes)) and push the button!
