The mountain with the big antenna on the top is called “Hornisgrinde”. With 1,164 m it’s the highest mountain of the Northern Black Forest. A few weeks ago I climbed the Hornisgrinde by bike with a good friend. I wrote a post about this tour in my personal blog (in German).

Pfinztal Panorama
This is the Pfinztal from Berghausen to Grötzingen. That’s where we live. ❤️
These hills are the most northern tip of the Black Forest. Click the image for a large view.

Taken with iPhone 8 Plus with panorama mode. Not so bad for a smartphone camera.
The sky is the limit
Wallberg
A little church located on the Wallberg (Tegernsee) in Bavaria. During summer they have outdoor divine services on Sunday as seen on the photo). Wow! But we didn’t visit the Wallberg for the service but for paragliding. 🙂

View over the Northern Black Forest from the Mummelsee (about 1.000m / 3.300ft.). Winter has arrived. Yay!
shades of grey
Just stumpled upon this nice photo (in my opinion) when cleaning the archive (=deleting photos). I took this back in January in Saas Fee, Switzerland. This is a part of the mountain named Allalinhorn (4.027 m / 13.212 ft).
Furkapass Panorama
About the photo: last week we spend some days in Switzerland and visited some really nice places. This photo was taken from the Furkapass (2.436 m / 7.992 ft.) looking westwards. The highest mountain in the center is the Finsteraarhorn (4.274 m / 14.022 ft.). The lake in the foreground is the Totensee (Death Lake) at the Grimselpass. Strange name for a lake!! As you can see it’s already winter in Switzerland. I loved it.
Some technical details: the image consists of 12 photos in portrait format taken in manual mode at f8 and 200mm with a Canon EF 70-200mm 2.8 L (and 5D of course). Stitched and processed in Photoshop. The final image has a size of 19.373 x 3.830 px. With a printing resolution of 300 dpi these are 164 x 32 cm or 65 x 13 inch. I’m going to print this one.
