Pinhole Aegerital (MF Tmax 100)
RealitySoSubtle 6x17 pinhole camera, Kodak TMax 100, Tmax developer.
Three scan sections (on a Nikon Super Coolscan 9000ED) were spliced in PS CC.
On the far left shore of the Aegerisee (Lake Aegeri, Switzerland) is the village of Morgarten, where in November 1315 a ragtag band of Swiss mountain men decimated the professional soldiers of the Austrian Hapsburgs, and the idea Switzerland (Confoederatio Helvetica) germinated. The lake is now home to the villages of Unteraegeri, Oberaegeri, and Morgarten, all part of Canton Zug.
As a small irony, after the battle of Morgarten the remaining Hapsburg soldiers limped to the right down the shore of the Aegerisee to the burg of Zug, the seat of Canton Zug, where they were given aid and comfort. Zug was on the side of the Hapsburgs and therefore against the Alliance of the regions that fought the Austrians. Now, Morgarten itself is part of Zug.
Very few Swiss know this fact. It must be very uncomfortable for Zuggers to hear this, and I suspect they are mostly ignorant of this fact or they are in denial. But hey, it's just old history.
In the center, the Wildspitz. In the left distance, the Urner alps.
This lake is part of the Rhine River watershed. Water from this lake flows north and empties first into the Zuggersee (Lake Zug) and then into the Reuss River, which in turn empties into the Aare which then empties into the Rhine. The Rhine of course empties via Holland into the North Sea, more than 600km north of he Aegerisee as the crow flies. There, the river is known as the Waal.
