The title is inspired by the title of a painting by Caspar David Friedrich called “Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer”

If you are surprised by the photographic effects I used: The technique is called “wet lense” 🙂

 

Sächsische Schweiz, Schmilka

We started after a really big breakfast from the charming Gasthof zur Mühle in Schmilka near the Czech border. It started raining as soon as we took of and the forest was soon filled with fog.

  1. Very beautiful pictures. We really liked both the Saxon and the Bohemian parts of the national park. Truly enchanting and mystical and the way you’ve captured the them in the fog, increases the feeling a lot more. 🙂
