Gebaut in der Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts, gehört die Grand Bisse de Lens zum historischen Erbe der Region um Crans-Montana. Wie alle Walliser Bisse, hat auch dieser Wasserlauf während Jahrhunderten dazu gedient, die Weinberge und andere Kulturen zu bewässern, welche die Bewohner des Wallis ernährten.
Von Chermignon d’en Bas bis zur Lienne können Sie dem Wasserlauf entlang hochgehen und dabei die Zeit zurückverfolgen. Die unglaublichen Anstrengungen unserer Vorfahren um das Wasser von der Lienne bis zu den Weinbergen am Hang unterhalb von Crans-Montana zu bringen, wird Ihnen die Stimme verschlagen.
Dank der Unterstützung der Stiftung Landschaftsschutz Schweiz und der Gemeinden von Crans-Montana, kann das Wasser in einem Teil der in den Felsen geschlagenen Bisse wieder fliessen.

ABOUT THIS IMAGE
Waves of Misty Water
One of my images on a photography outing with my good friend Bob Canepa at Montana de Oro.
I took this shot during a hike at Dolomites Natural Park (Italy). Here I was in Cornolade (Belluno) where there are these amazing waterfalls.
I used my Canon 6D and Canon 16-35mm f/4 L IS USM. I took 3 exposures (-2, 0, +2) combined within Lightroom CC using the new HDR Merge. Then I used Color Efex Pro 4 for contrast & details and the final touch with Exposure 7 for toning & vignetting.

One of the many waterfalls found throughout Watkins Glen State Park. Despite the drizzle, the place was still a gem to explore! It was challenging to get an image without someone walking into the scene. ;-)
One more night HDRI from my new Fuji X 20, while I took a ride to Frankfurt by bike..
This took a lot of work, bracketed series of 3 shots in M-mode using a Gorilla Pod, denoising in Nik´s Dfine, HDR-processing in Oloneo´s Photoengine and some pixie dust from Nik´s Color Efex Pro in the end.
The title is a quote from the song "Subdivisions" by the canadian rock band Rush.
... and the show started unfolding before me - or rather inside me...
My family and I were in Umbria, a beautiful region in central Italy extremely rich in beauty - art, history, and nature (including, regrettably, a propensity for earthquakes) - and the homeland of so many artists and saints - one among all, St. Francis of Assisi. It is one of those selected places where I really feel at home, so I could not miss the opportunity to try and capture at least a shadow of its beauty (incidentally, we stayed at a beautiful country house, L'olmo: I warmly recommend it to anyone who would like to spend some time in that region).
I had been scouting the surroundings for several early mornings, eagerly waiting for a sunrise with at least the legal minimum of clouds, studying viewpoints and interesting landscape features while pretending to wander about with our dog, Pepa*.
At last I opted for this spot (look at the map for details): the border of an olive grove on the left, some majestic oaks on the right - and, in between, the rolling hills, the mists rising from the unseen valley, and the blueish outline of mount Subasio in the distance. It had something definitely theatrical about it... - hope that you enjoy it!
* Well, I like to enjoy my rare, precious sunrise sessions in a peaceful mood, so Pepa was not with me when I actually captured this scene. Her presence used to stir quite a huge bit of a mess in a nearby farm - they keep some sixty (yes, 60) hounds who would start barking an endless cacophony in a myriad different canine idioms as soon as they sensed Pepa approaching (i.e. when we were still more than 200 meters away).
I have worked a lot on this photo in post-processing... The most difficult task has been to decently highlight the beautiful textures of the bark of the oak while not overdoing the whole thing, so spoiling its beauty.
I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.3/0/+1.3 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
Some stormy weather blowing through the valley which also dusted the higher peak's with snow...
Surprisingly with the overcast sky there just happened to be a small break in the clouds that shed some beautiful light - true story!
A splendid way to start an Autumn Morning! Temps were in the low 40's (around 7c) Five exposure HDR processed with Nik HDR Efex Pro 2
