Hi all!

The region of the Moosalp (2000m) in upper Wallis is a place where I need to go once a year. When I was a child, my family often spent the summer holidays at Zenhäusern (Bürchen). Now I prefer the autumn because there are less people there and the larches are wonderful. This year, we spent a couple of nights in our little caravan in the wilderness of the Moosalp and the surroundings. We arrived at the Moosalp the day when the restaurants closed for the rest of the autumn.

That day, when my wife and I started our hiking tour from Zenhäusern to the middle Hellela and Zeneggen (between 1600-1800m), the fog broke in and accompanied us during half of the trip. I first was a bit disappointed because I wanted it to be perfect for my wife. She had to find back assurance and confidence after her accident this summer in the Norwegian mountains. But it was her who wanted to start and she even said that I always wanted to try to do pictures in the forest with fog. We had a wonderful hike in a very special and pleasant atmosphere.

Kind regards

Markus

N.B. Taken in RAW, without tripod (thanks to anti-shake system!), applied the usual level corrections, attenuated the bright tones to get more saturation, cropped and converted to jpg for TN.

hallo Markus,
Dein Bild ist so still und leise und geht gerade in mein Herz. Du weisst es ja, sie ist wie ein Stück von mir, die Hellela. Ich habe "lange Zeit" zwischen den Bäumen zu gehn und die goldenen Lärchen zu sehn.Ganz vezaubert zeigst Du sie, mit diesem feinen Nebelschleier. Hab herzlichen Dank. Guet Nacht
Anne

Hello Markus, glad to see your photo again.

Another fairy place. Wonderful photo-tale, combination of mystery and clearness. Great color and light

Hi Markus,
A very special mood on this image!
I like the framing and composition made here, and the way you managed the exposure to see the fog at the background.
The subtle tones creates an interesting atmosphere here.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hello Markus
You have a lovely moody picture here which is lovely and sharp in the fore ground and then gently blends into the mist in the background.. very nice work
Tfs and Best regards

Your Larch is in the same family of our Tamarack tree here in the Pacific NW! Deciduous and lightens then drops this time of year and comes back in spring. Not quite near as large as ours though and presented here in good image as well as mood which you are so good at. I wonder if your Larch has a moss which grows on it in some places of the shade?

Hello Markus,
Autumn is clearly present, not only in colours but also in the fog!
The atmosphere is well captured with the chill and low light...
Well composed and a fine feeling of depth!

Hi Markus,
Its great to see your photos again and read your personal touched notes. I'm sory to hear that your wife had an accident on your last holiday, but its good to read that she is fit enough to accompany you during this trip. She sounds like a wonderful and thoughtfull person that even gives you the freedom to take stunning photos. I am glad she convinced you to continue with this hike, since it surely gave you a perfect situation to create this photo. I like the fact that you choose for a shallow DOF to concentrate only on the first few trees without loosing too much details in the more distant silhoutted trees. I do have to say that the larches do add the much needed color to a coniferous forest and without it, I am sure that a good photo would be much harder to find. I really like your creative composition which does inspire me for future opportunities.
TFS,
Niek

beautiful pastel colors
Peaceful shere.

Hello Markus,

Excellent composition. Great DOF. Excellent exposure and great colours.

Bonsoir Markus
les tons de cette prise de vue sont 'soyeux'
cet éclat feutré automnal est un belle réussite.
J'aime beaucoup
Merci, amicalement

Hello Markus,
a very unique atmosphere. ( to me - in in the rainforest).Lovely soft environment and very cooling. Nice arrangement of tree trunks. The natural framing of yellow leaves look very pleasing. Excellent composition of a simple forest.

regards,
Foozi

Hi Markus
I love this! The colours and different textures are wonderful and create a nice composition. I just love days like this. Very serene and calming. The Larch are starting to turn colour here now.
