This weekend I was on a photo trip in Saxony Switzerland with some fellow german Landscapers, namely Andywon Dennis_F Niceshoot Maximilian asphericlens Bonnix and Christian who isn't yet here at flickr ;-)

We really didn't have the condidtions we had hoped for the first 2 days. Either it was too much fog and zero sight or it was not enough combined with clear skies and the lack of color in the sky. Anyway we did quite some hiking and exploring and for the last morning we went to the little Winterberg, a 2 mile hike through the dark forest with a little ascend at the end. Not to hard but at least this was early and remote enough so that we didn't have to share the place yet again with 20 other photographers as on the Schrammsteine the evening before (that's another story ;-) ) . I had seen photos of that location but standing there is a completely other experience. It just looks prehistoric and the sight is spectacular. I usually wouldnt expect to find such landscapes in germany. This photo was taken from the Viewpoint called Gleitmannshorn. I loved the light in the sky and the color, how it also was picked up in the foreground by the fallen pine needles.

Hope you get a bit of a feeling how it was standing there :-)
