Living in a village in the Bavarian Alps

I lived in three countries in Europe: My native country Germany, my spiritual home England and Spain. In 2003 I moved from the sunny Costa del Sol in Spain to a very small village of only about 80 inhabitants in the Bavarian Alps. Beautiful place, great views over the mountains, but hard to live in with no shops and the next pub a couple of miles away. So the one year I spent there I was walking a lot. I did some great mountain hikes, but also enjoyed the many lakes around there. And of course the nearby world-famous Castle Neuschwanstein. I also made my first experiences with digital photography. Now, many years later, I’m happily living in England again and enjoy not having those harsh winters you get in the Alps. The photo below is from one of my hikes to the lakes in the surrounding area of the Bavarian village of Hertingen near Nesselwang. It is called “Attlesee” and is not that well-known to tourists, but quite a nice place. It was also one of my first attempts in tone-mapping an ordinary jpeg-file.
