Berglistuber Waterfall @ Linthal, Switzerland

I love waterfalls. Whatever it is and wherever it is; I just love it. With the weather getting warmer and the spring coming; this is probably perfect time to share an image of a waterfall.
This winter was a bit of bummer for me from winter activity perspective. I didn't even manage to go up to the snow line even once. Yes I know. That is wired and never happened before. But, there was not much choice. I had to travel outside Switzerland for several reasons, weather was not favorable in many weekends and I was also sick few weekends. But I probably still have one or two weeks to change that. Let's see!
In the meantime; I found this image from last year. This is a very hidden waterfall and far from my place. The work life was very hectic during that time. So one weekend we decided to explore this region of Switzerland. So we booked a hotet in Linthal and drove there at our leisure. We took the more scenic route crossing Klausenpass. Pretty interesting drive. Well; what to say about the mountain region of Alps. I love each and every inch of it. It is just breath taking and the locals and the government together keep it such a way.
So we reached the hotel during evening. Had a lovely dinner and took enough rest in a cozy warm room. Next day early breakfast and out for waterfall. Wow, just wow, what a view. We could hear the sound of it from very far and when we went in front of it; it was amazing. I took some time to document the journey with video as well as took some images. I asked my son to stand there as it gives a perspective scale of the waterfall.
And yes; before everyone says it is dangerous; it is not. I did detailed survey myself before asking him to go there and he is already an experienced hiker with at least 500 kms of hikes under his belt. So no issues there. He has the experience. I wouldn't recommend other kids to do this as they may not know where to step and where not to.
From image point of view; straight forward image. I wanted to keep the fall in one side of the frame and him on the other side; but the fog was too attractive to miss. So I broke the general rule and just kept him in Rule of 3rd. After that it was pretty straight forward two exposure. One for the most of the image and one for the dark part of the cave. What to do; I was not using my Nikon and the Canon images wouldn't service the pickup of shadow that much without getting very noisy. But two exposures did the job.
