Die Grosse Freiheit
by R.Bill Moser
One of the most scenic mountains in the Jura mountains of switzerland, yet not "over photographed". Best time of year to photograph on top of "Grenchenberg" (Mount Grange) is in fall and winter when the valley below is covered by fog so you can't see the cities and villages below.
This is from last saturday moring - one of those mornings when everything comes together.
Nikon D800, 14-24mm/f2.8, 2 exposures blending manually for dynamic range

These frosted grasses look like some interesting subject matter for some close ups too. I bet if I would have witnessed this, I would have missed the grand vista in this light and then would come home with a mediocre gloger grass image..
@Peter Cross: no idea what tracks this area.Might be tracks from a chamois...hope this is the perfect english expression. There are quie a lot of them in the Jura Mountains.
Unfortunately I didn't make any close-ups....but this is just the beginning of winter and this mountain is close enough to home to go back there again and again. It's just harder to get there until the winter has really begun.
Excellent photo!!
