Ah, schön, wieder was Neues! Schönes Herbstbild, gefällt mir gut, wie die Bäume noch von der Sonne angestrahlt sind! Grüße aus Wien, e.m.r.

© Carsten, on November 24, 2007, said:

Hallo May. Finde ich auch. Die Bäume zeigen durch die Kurve genau auf das gegenüberliegende Ufer. Und der Schnee auf den Bergen gibt mir das klassische Alpengefühl. Fand ich schon immer beeindruckend, See und dahinter die Berge. Fliegt da eine Möve rechts ? Wäre ein weiter Weg. Man kann auch die Wolken erkennen, wie sie von den Bergen gebremst werden. Die Farbabstufungen führen den Blick zu den Schneebergen. Sehr cool.

Gruß,

Carsten

Beautifully lightened trees and the top of the mountains, May. You have caught a right moment for your shot. Also two boats and a bird make a great detail.

Greetings May, Thank you for posting this beautiful mountain scene. The autumn leave are lovely and make for a beautiful stroll along the lake shore. The air may be crisp but the sun will warm you still. And all the while you can look up and the the changing season on the mountain tops. Very nice indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Rich

♫ Swissmay, on November 28, 2007, said:

Marcelo, Palmina, Polytropos, Tamàs and Rich thank you all very much for your visit and comments!

The lake of Thun is one of my favourite places to stay, no matter what season. I love the contrast of the snow mountains and the mild climate on the shore of the lake. The lake extends between the very pretty town of Thun and famous Interlaken. It's a natural lake. The river Aare leaves the lake in Thun and carries its water to the Rhine. The Aare is much larger than the Rhine, when they meet.

Greetings, May
