[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
This is the landscape on top of San Bernardino Pass in the Swiss canton Grisons (Graubünden) with an altitude of 2.065 meters. It connects the valley of the Hinterrhein, one of the tributaries of Rhein river, with the Mesocco valley of Moesa river - south of the crest of the Alps.

The northern ramp of San Bernardino Pass begins near the city Chur, capital of Grisons, and the southern ramp near Bellinzona, capital of Ticino. The stream leaving the lake at the other end runs southward to the Mediterranean. Water about 50 meters behind me - when taking this picture - runs into Rhein river and the North sea. In front of me people spreak Italian, behind me they speak German.

San Bernardino is tunneled by a 6.600 meters long tunnel (please see here) in an altitude of 1,644 meters.
Anyhow it is a much more pleasant experience to use the old street across the main ridge of the Alps. You can detect the street in my photo on the rear lakefront.

Using the map view function lefthand you can see the lake of San Bernardino Pass.

In the workshop you can see another view.

Hi Frank,
Really beautiful! I can understand your attraction to this part of Europe, even if you live in Rothaargebirge! Very good colours and an attractive composition.

Amazing colourful mountains landscape. Fine composition with proper portion of the sky.
Regards my dear friend from Silesia where the weather is really strange - hot, rainy, many changes during the day.

Bonjour Frank
Un très beau paysage de montagne qui sent l'air pur. Le lac d'un bleu profond est bien encastré au milieu de ces roches et semble bien paisible. C'est très agréable à regarder.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.
Nicole

Bonjour Franck

Hello Frank,
I see you had a nice blue sky for today's lovely composition. Good point of view that allows the eyes to be easily drawn into the scene. The little boat is a nice bonus. Good colours and clarity.

Hi Frank

Hallo Frank,
schöner Bergsee dort oben, passt gut in das sanfte Grau und Grün mit seinen blauen Wellen. Der Blick über den kleinen Zulauf öffnet die Aufnahme. Schönes Licht.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Frank,
Beautiful place, the wonderful weather and the crystalline gill effluent with the murmur from the azure blue lake. I can only envy to You such beautiful sceneries. Splendid picture, strange sky blue and the green of growths. Splendid POV, very good sharpness and the most beautiful planned composition.
Have a nice day,
Jurek

Hello Frank,
A nicely composed picture of this fine view. A yellow spot breaks the dominance of green, grey and blue. This looks like a fine area for trekking.

Hallo Frank,
zunächst fiel mir die kleine weiße Wolke auf, das Tüpfelchen auf dem i der Landschaftsaufnahmen in denen blaue und grüne Töne eine große Rolle spielen. Dann ging der Blick in die Tiefe der beeindruckenden Landschaft. Diese Aufnahme hat alle weiteren Eigenschaften einer geglückten Komposition: Schärfe, schöne Farben und einen sehr interessanten POV, man muss schon Angst haben, dass das Wasser aus dem Bildschirm herausfließt! Phantastische Arbeit!
Einen schönen Abend aus dem grauen Schleswig-Holstein wünscht Harriet

Fantastic low level POV, crisp and excellent colours - well done :)

Hallo Frank,
farbenfrohes Bild aus dem Hochgebirge. Von Chur nach Bellinzona bin ich zuletzt vor 12 Jahren gefahren. Die Via Mala Schlucht habe ich noch plastisch in meiner Erinnerung.
Schönes Wochenende wünscht

Hallo Frank,
man spürt die reine und frische Luft. (Sogar die Berge im Hintergrund sieht man kristallklar, ohne jeglichen Schleier.) Auch die Farben sind entsprechend frisch und tief. In der Komposition gefällt mir besonders die Betonung des Vordergrunds. Ein sehr gut gelungenes Foto, ich gratuliere Dir!
Viele Grüße
László

Wow, great green colors Frank,
i like this place, a very peaceful view in a natural environment. Great deep composition...well done!
Have a nice week
Greetings
Alessandro

Hello Frank,

I like the composition of your photo : the lake is the main point of interest and the eye is leaded there by rocks on the foreground.
Colors are really good : deep blue for the sky and the lake, deep green for the grass.
