The Bend
River bends always make for nice foregrounds, and this one at the Swiss-French border is no exception. I visited the place in November with benjaminbarakat
Shooting this image was a rather scary endeavor. As you can see, the hills around the bend are heavily forested. The only spot with an unobstructed view is a ledge with an area of a few square meters on top of a towering cliff. Reaching the ledge involves clambering down a slippery slope, which I found pretty creepy by itself.
The reward for the scary scrambling was this beautiful view. The stars reflected in the calm water of the river reservoir and some thin fog banks lingered along the hill on the opposite shore.
