[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Hi all!

The Cousimbert is a little (1633m), but well exposed mountain at a 15 min. drive and 30 min. hike from my home. I often go up there to watch the sunrise or, as shown in this picture, the sunset. The summit offers a 360° panoramic view either on the Swiss plateau, the Jura and the Alps.

It is, for me, a magical place, a Power palce by excellence. It's almost always windy up there and the atmosphere often is mystic.

I was deeply impressed by the ephemeral aspect of the moments I lived there yesterday evening. While I was standing alone at the summit watching the effects of the sunset, I realized how quickly the light, the shape and the colours of the sky changed. And within a couple of minutes the magical moments were over, the fire extinguished and the colours faded out. As if nature wanted to remember me that I'm ephemeral, too...

Kind regards

Markus

Lieber Markus,
Du bist ja wirklich ein grosser Romantiker! Dein feines Bild berührt durch die gezeigte Weite und die subtilen Farbtöne dieses Sonnenuntergangs. Nichts Schreiendes, nein etwas sehr Beruhigendes, ja Mystisches, wie du schreibst.
Es gefällt mir sehr!
Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag
Herzliche Grüsse
Anne

Hi Marcus.
I like your poetic note. It describes the picture and emotions perfectly. Clouds and sun rays, dark shape of the horizon are amazing and really very impressive. Quality of the shot (as well as your equipment) are stunning. Bravo. My compliments and best wishes.

Hello Marcus,
Seems actually like magic place.
This is a very nice composition of this beautiful sunset.Colors, view and composition are wonderful.well done.TFS.
Best regards Siggi

This looks totally like a Canon...you and the Sony camera use some subtle tonal changes which work superior. And here it is not abstract art, yet gives the feeling of something crossing over..if you know what I mean...I like this one very much Markus!

Hello my friend

That is a sign of the up-coming winter :) Usually, in the cold season we get magnificent colors and tones all at the same time, but the entire plethora ends in a matter of minutes...
However, here you've managed to capture its essence and show us a part of that beautiful view you described. The perspective is lovely, the layers are gorgeous and the light beams braking through are such treats to the eye!
Overall, i really like these types of shots and i hope to see more from you and this summit.

Cheers and TFS

A gorgeous sunset Markus,
Love the way the rays seem to be reaching down from the heavens. You are fortunate to be living so close to such a spectacular view. Perfectly composed with just the right amount of exposure!! We all occasionally need these types of glimpses from nature just to keep us humble.

Hi Markus,
your exctng shot of the light of the sunset is equally poetic like your writing. I like the view bt I like to hear your frequent hike up there. I do once climber the highest in SEA, the Kinabalu Mount.
How excited we were witnessing the sunrise. It was so beautiful and the feeling could not be described.
I welcome you the best in blending our feeling with nature, as no one could describe the feeling.
Congratulations as I could feel with you the beauty and the excitement.

Regards,
Foozi

Hi Markus,
This is not a type of photo we see often from you. But it certainly is a wonderful photo to look at. Especially the gradient layers of the mountain landscape is a pleasure to my eye. The clouds broke up the light wonderfully and they in return received some beautiful colors. I can image how you felt when making this photo.
TFS,
Niek

Ciao Markus,
un'altra bellissima immagine di paesaggio montano in cui lo sguardo sulla Natura non si perde sulle lontane cime innevate, ma sui giochi di luci e di ombre, di chiari e di scuri, appagando allo stesso modo i nostri intimi sentimenti.
Grazie e complimenti
Buona notte
Con amicizia
Maurizio

Hello Markus,

Amazing play of light here!
It is my experience that autumn is the best time to hope for special light phenomenons like in this fine frame...
Excellent texture and delicate colours!

Greetings,

Hi,
This is a class picture which has that sense of monochromatic gradations yet there are some subtle colors! The play of light in terms of those rays is amazing.

Hallo Markus,
wunderschöne Landschaft mit super Farben !!! Ich hab`auch so was erlebt. In weniger Minuten sind sich sowohl die Farben als auch das Licht verendert. Deswegen erstaunt uns die Nature, nicht?
Eine schöne Woche,
Adrian

Perhaps this is what heaven looks like before you enter it...
Outstanding shot of this sky..and the land too, Markus!
Cheers!
