Description

Vacation time offers great opportunities to enjoy life. The freedom of going there where you want to explore or just enjoying the rest. On this occasion I had the following program:

3.15 wake up
3.45 leave the house with the car (entirely dark, I can see the milky way)
4.25 leave the car on 1454 meter and continue by foot (first driving a circle to find the track with the lights of the car)
5.30 arrive on Grosse Scheidegg on 1962 meter and wait for sunrise
5.42 shoot the rising sun and enjoy the view on the landscape that colors from deep red through orange to yellow and white
6.00 breakfast while shivering in the cold (it's little freezing, just a few centigrades)
6.20 continue the walk on the same height and after approximately 5 kilometer the track goes a few hundreds of meters up
8.45 stop at Bachalpsee on 2265 meter, to enjoy the view on the summits (4000 m) in the south and the frozen lakes, shooting one slide after another
9.15 lie down on a bench, temperatures little above 0

Sorry about your troubles but you can laugh about it and make the best of the situation so that's good!!! I loved your description of your day!!! Yes, vacation always seems to be jammed packed with things we want to do. anyway, this actually turned out really good. I know you're gonna think I'm crazy, but i see a soldier's portrait in those mountains. Look at the base of the mountains, going inward. Right before you see the blue shadows, there he is...mirrored on both sides. I have no idea what it really is, but I'm wondering if there was some kind of battle here? Anyway, i also just woke up so maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me!!!

Hi sheila, I can see a face too. on the right side it is looking t the right, and on the left side it is looking to the left. I think that is not a soldier, it's a troll! .-)

I like this image! I am sorry for the problems you experienced with your cam, I had a similar problem with my old manual Minolta, I wound up doing a complete overhaul on that cam. I hope your problem is simple and can be easliy fixed.
