Blick vom Säntis auf den Altmann, 2'436 m.

Blick vom Säntis auf den Altmann, 2'436 m.
World Photography Day - 19. August

View from the Säntis (2'502 m) to the southeast toward Altmann (2'436 m) in the foreground and the silhouettes of the other mountains of the Eastern Swiss Alps behind it.
The Säntis is the highest mountain in the Alpstein range (eastern Switzerland). Due to the Alpstein's exposed location to the north, the mountain is a landmark visible from afar. For example, there are houses in the Black Forest and the Swabian Alb named Säntisblick. The summit of Säntis offers a view of six countries: Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Italy, and France.

The image shows an important element in photography: the light.
In this image, you can see light in many of its facets.

Dafür dürfte in der Schweiz die Suche nach einem

Cheryl, yes, Switzerland is a mountainous country. 70% of Switzerland is covered by mountains!
