Things are slowly calming down, and the last few weeks are sinking in: at the beginning of October we got married in a small circle of family and friends. It was emotional and beautiful, hard to put into words. We enjoyed every second, and even today little memories put a grin on our faces.
By van to the lake
Shortly before the celebration our van arrived too, just in time to scrape a fire hydrant before we drove off on our honeymoon in it. The weekend before, I was out on my own. On the internet I had discovered the Gigerwaldsee in Switzerland, not far from Konstanz. I packed the van, spent the first night on the shore and sent the drone up to photograph this beautiful place from above.
Klöntalersee – a spontaneous stop
On the way back the Klöntalersee beckoned, which looked interesting on Google Maps, and it was worth it: from above it revealed a beautiful interplay of water and mountains. Next year we’ll come back, then as three, with Luca.
A pale gravel streambed winding through the autumnal conifer forest.A pale, steep rock face rises above the dense conifer forest.Meadow and a hairpin, the peaks behind them caught in the clouds.Only the tip of the steep rock still rises out of the clouds.In Switzerland the turquoise Gigerwaldsee lies between steep walls at the dam.The rock face above the forest on the left, the dam at the Gigerwaldsee on the right.The road follows the turquoise shore, with meadow and steep slopes beside it.On both sides, wooded steep slopes drop to the turquoise Gigerwaldsee.Conifer forest stands on the rocky edge, and just below it the turquoise of the lake begins.From the air, the Gigerwaldsee becomes a turquoise band in the valley.Clouds cover the ridgeline, while the slopes below it stay green.A stream runs through the conifer forest in the autumn-coloured valley.Pale bands of rock run through the steep wooded slopes.Forest and a field of scree lie beneath the layered pale rock face.From the air, a white car sits on the concrete arch between turquoise water and forest.Rock face and wooded shore are reflected in the dark Klöntalersee.Pale shallows and water plants, a turquoise channel running through the middle.Small on deep blue: a single rowing boat out on the lake.A path runs along the wooded spit in the shallow green of the Klöntalersee.Nothing but spruce crowns packed close, and a little autumn foliage.Colourful autumn forest meets the deep blue water with no gap between.
