Artist's Statement

I took this photo from the top of the mountain Piz Gloria, a.ka. the Schilthorn (Some crappy James Bond movie was filmed up there.) with my 14mm lens. After the rocks and grasses at the bottom of the photo, there is a drop of a few hundred metres. The scattered houses one can see in the middle of the photo is the sky-resort/village of Muerren. After this village there is yet another sheer drop of a few hundred metres into a glacier valley which, at the bottom, is completely level from edge to edge of the valley. The mountains at the top of the photo are the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau (I believe.)

I get a great feeling of flying and freedom when i look at this photo. Freedom in some fantasy world locked deep within my mind. Colours are slightly un-realistic. Red hues were off-set the most.
