Veil of Ignorance (J. Rawl). Above the Gepatsch reservoir you are quickly in the mountain world with a magnificent view of the foothills of the Southern Hapmeskopf (3,240m) and the Biggspitze (3,453m).

The history behind the name.
Back in 1951, a young French couple on honeymoon in Norway, drove off the road here. Somehow they failed to make the turn at the top of the falls and they both died after a free fall of almost 100 meters. One of the first rescue workers on the spot was my father and I know he struggled for many years afterwards, with nightmares after what he experienced here.
A memorial plate is placed at the bottom of the waterfall, where the date and name of the perished are engraved.

Poverty is a veil that obscures the face of greatness.
An appeal is a mask covering the face of tribulation. Khalil Gibran

What lies beyond the green veil! Tune in to find out... I did poke the lens through this wonderful green curtain and take a shot of the tree lurking in the misty background, maybe tomorrow... I also got very wet from the mist dripping off the leaves :)
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

It shrouds Mont Blanc or it cuts it in half.... happy Easter. It's a capture from the skiing holidays in February, I thought I'd post something other than flowers for (an early ) Easter Sunday!
That wispy cloud hovered for an age just left of Mont Blanc, I was at the point of putting the camera away for the night when it just suddenly but gently seemed to throw itself as a veil over the mountain, the shadow intersecting the mountain
Bridal Veil Falls is a beautiful plunge waterfall on New Zealand's north island, about an hour west of the town of Hamilton.
The Pakoka River drops over 55 metres into the pool below, before continuing down the valley.
There is something so romantic about this photo! I love how it turned out! The veil gives it a bit of mystery!
When shooting a waterfalls, I often think of capturing it along with the surrounding area. Including its habitat so to speak. This image is exactly the opposite. Instead, now getting so close one might interpret the water as a kind of curtain or veil.
Chase Creek Falls continues to rush with water, but not quite as much as when we have rain. The Shuswap area is very dry and residents once again worry about fire, like those that divested the are one year ago.
Les feuilles des érables du Canada sont sorties, et un gracieux voile entoure l'Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix Mont Blanc France
The leaves of the Canadian Maple tree popped out, and a graceful veil half hides the summit of the Aiguille du Midi, Chamonix Mont Blanc France.
Rielaborazione Chiamata anche La Scopa di Strega è la parte occidentale della nebulosa Velo e catalogata come NGC 6960, caratterizzata dalla presenza della luminosissima stella 52 Cygni, sovrapposta in prospettiva ma estranea in realtà all'oggetto nebulare. Distante da noi circa 1470 anni luce , si estende per circa 35 anni luce , e’ composta da gas e polveri in espansione derivati dall’ esplosione di una supernova , stella collassata sulla sua stessa gravità con masse superiori a 9 volte quella del sole. Oggi notiamo i sempre piu' rarefatti filamenti nebulari fluttuare nel vuoto cosmico che ci regalano immagini stupefacenti per la loro particole bellezza

A silver mist lies softly over the pond,
hovering like a dream and blurring the edges of water and sky !!
Bridal Veil Falls is a 365-foot waterfall at the end of the box canyon overlooking Telluride, Colorado. Hiking and off-road trails pass by the falls and it has a hydroelectric power plant at its top. In winter the frozen shape of the falls forms an imposing challenge to intrepid ice climbers.
In late October the winds blew in clouds over cougar ridge, to the west of the cabin. The sun had set behind the ridge and the clouds moved quickly. This long exposure photo shows their ominous character. Along the ridge the deciduous Larch trees (Tamarack) mixed in with evergreens had been a beautiful gold for a month but now were starting to shed showers of golden pine needles. Winter is coming soon...as much as I hate to leave it is time to take myself to another home.

What is the drop of beautiful eyes caught in their beauty, the most surpsrising?
That the woman who lowers the eyes brings such a beautiful veil, and thus covers the beautiful gaze that the purpose of this, namely the concealment of the beauty of one's own being, is not attained in any way.....
Jan Hanlo 1912-1969 Dutch experimental poet.
