Beatenberg, a photo from Bern, Ouest

Photographer's Note

A sunny spring-day in Beatenberg / Bernese Oberland.

Beatenberg lies in the Bernese Oberland, in the heart of Switzerland. High above Lake Thun, above the fog, at an altitude of 1200 metres, Beatenberg has a ring-side view of the Bernese Alps. The breathtaking peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau pose against a background of steel-blue skies - Lake Thun’s blue-green waters glisten far below Beatenberg, the village that has not lost any of its country charm, despite being dependent on tourists.

On the contrary: Beatenberg has succeeded in combining farming and tourism in the best way possible.

Nicht schlecht, aber mit andere Lichtverhältnisse, wäre es besser geworden. Anyhow excellent framing and composition.

What a gorgeous view. I especially like how it really feels like I'm standing on a hill looking through the trees down at the scene, and the way the houses give a sense of scale and perspective is great.

I live by mountains, but nothing like this! I envy you for being able to go here!

The sky is a little blown out, but it's nothing major. It's a very hard thing to avoid! The rest of the picture is so nice you don't even notice it anyway.
