It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you of the passing of my wife Elke in February 2019.

 

Elke was my wife of almost 52 years and we partnered in photography for over 30 years. My name is Lou and I am the lou part of louelke.

 

Although we are saddened at her passing, she had a great life and we were blessed with her presence.

Elke creates the most beautiful photos of the majestic montains I ever saw! Her "Mount Rainier" photos are absolutely gorgeous and outstanding! Worth to be published in magazines, f.e. National Geographic! Keep on with your awesome work, dear Elke!
