I live in Zurich for seven years now but I never had such a clear sight of the Glarner and Schwyzer Alpes. At this January 2nd the sunrise was predicted for 8:11. I got up while it was still dark and escaped the foggy city towards Mount Uetliberg 869m. Unfortunately the tower at the summit was closed due to ice, nevertheless the view was breathtaking. Just before sunrise I was able to capture this photo which shows the Albis with the Alpes in the background. I think this is the most beautiful picture that I was able to take in Zurich, despite the city is actually not visible.

Some photo ideas need almost endless patience. Not only taking the photo also the waiting for the right condition is sometimes hard. When I discovered this tree I knew that I had to shoot star trails above it. But in my mind I had a picture with a snowy landscape. With snow not only the stars are shining, even the surface of the snow sparkles. Unfortunately, there were never snow and a clear sky at the same time in the past 2 years. Until this magical night! The conditions were perfect. The moon was half illuminated and the sky was very clear. The temperature dropped to -15°C that night, therefore the camera was completely frozen after 5 hours. The result, the image out of my dreams.

You should definitely know Mount Hörnli if you know the region called Zürcher Oberland. After a quick hike to the top we arrived on time for a wonderful sunset at the summit.

On this day, I got up, was looking out of the windows and I couldn’t believe what I’ve seen. Due to the low fog during the night this tree was frozen and gave a great contrast to the bench.

After long weeks in the fog the trees in Männedorf got a white dress. On this afternoon the sun was shining through and gave the landscape this bright face.

Illuminated streets which wind through the Zürcher Oberland are a great image in Winter.
