All were taken on Fuji 200 colour neg film, home developed and scanned on a Nikon Coolscan 5. Camera was a Nikon F6 and my 28/105 lens
No1. Was in the Risstal meaning Riss Valley(pronounced Reestal, east of the resort of Garmisch Partenkirchen in Bavaria. I found this delightful place by missing my turn 'cos the foliage had grown over the road sign. You start off in German, enter Austria and finish up again in Germany. The mountains in the distance are again in Austria.
No2. This the Reichenbach falls in Switzerland with the last of the winter snow melt. 90 metres sheer drop! Those who have read Sherlock Holmes books will know that these are the falls in the book where Holmes has a fight to the death with Moriarty. The nearby village of Meiringen actually has a sign in a square in the village marked 'Bakers Street W' in the same design and colours used in London and has a Sherlock Holmes museum as well. Although what exhibits they have for what was a fictitious character remains to be seen.
No3. Is from the bedroom in my overnight b&b in a village called Stechelberg a few miles up the Lauterbrunnen valley from the ski resort of Grindelwald
