Thank you! And your username just made me hungry

A beautiful autumn evening in the far end of Switzerland's famous Lauterbrunnen Valley. Shot a few years ago.

Great news hehe. I know there are quite a few mining projects underway throughout Kyrgyzstan, and the larger ones tend to be quite remote and inaccessible. Would be a really shame to destroy something that is actually so easy to visit for the locals and tourists.

Yeah this is a shot where a person could have been well-placed. It's actually not so high, the tip of the sharp peak is maybe 10m above the ground its on. Could be a bit more, I'm having a hard time myself really remembering the exact scale.

That's really cool! Hopefully no plans were made in order to keep the landscape as it is

Stunning geological formations at the Skazka (Fairytale) Canyon on the Southern shores of Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan (I know that Kul means lake). A popular day trip for locals, we saw more Kyrgyz tourists here than in any other destination, which were far more remote - there we saw nobody.

So, three posts in the span of 11 months, it's too much :(

Average air temperature was around 12-15c for us, so I don't think the water would be much warmer than that

Yes! And the fact that it would still be like this regardless of our existence. And that there may be countless other planets similar to ours with landscapes even more amazing! Ok that last part is maybe a bit depressing, but our world is truly beautiful.

That's tragic! Yes, travel to places like this should definitely not be done alone. When we were there we saw a guy on his own who looked like he hadn't slept in days and was high on the experience of being there. Was a bit nerve-wracking watching him jog along the cliff edge.

There's an access fee set up by the man/family in charge of the land that was 200DKK (around €27) last year, which is quite steep but at least includes a well-maintained trail and basic facilities like a toilet and I think little cafe. The entrance hut may or may not be manned if you go at crazy hours, and you may or may not find a place to drop the cash if no one is there.

As for camping, I'm not sure but I know that the Faroes are generally quite strict as to where you can camp legally. Fishing I believe is permitted, with a permit. Best doing some research.

Thanks for the views! I'm using a Sony A7iii with a 16-35 F4 for these shots. I have a couple of other longer range lenses for, well, longer range shots.

Yes, the photos are post-processed.

Thank you :)

People will always comment this but most don't know the literal translations of place names in foreign languages, so including 'lake' (or similar) removes confusion as to what exactly is being referenced

Hehe agreed! Reality will always win exactly because we at least have the opportunity to experience it for real!

It's a panorama consisting of several 6000*4000 with some warping and stretching that led to a weird ratio in the first place, and for online posting it was downside to 1800 on the long side, resumting in an even weirder 1494 height :)

Thank you so much!

It is indeed one of those mythical beings you see on old maps! And thanks :D

Haha thanks, who's got windows' email?

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you! If memory serves well, they would have been around 20-24mm, shot vertically at F16. Normally I'd have done two sets of the same shots at F11 or so with focus on foreground in one set and background in the second (focus stacking), but frankly it was quite terrifying being close to the edge of the cliff - the drop is perhaps more than 100m - so I just wanted to get the shots as fast as I could!
