Spacey Global Atmosphere Watch

ZOOM ZOOM.. my previous photo: Enlightened holy cross at 10x analog zoom http://www.flickr.com/photos/visbeek/1184725446/

For more than a hundred years there's a weather station on top of the Zugspitze which nowadays also gathers data for the Global Atmosphere Watch. Doesn't it look spacey?

martin werker says:

Mooie opname Ben. Ziet er erg futuristisch uit. Lijkt wel uit een SF film te komen.

En wat betreft die paddestoelen: In Zweden lijkt het wat paddestoelen betreft wel herfst, zó veel en zó veel verschillende.
Die takjes vond ik nu wel eens leuk. Altijd dat 'gepoets' ;-)

smiling_da_vinci says:

Je zou d'r zo een Sci-Fi film op kunnen nemen. Mooi!

En die bij is juist extra groot op m'n nieuwe schermpje.
Een nadeel is wel dat je alle imperfecties ziet. Dus elk beetje ruis en elke onscherpte. Dus nu moet ik extra kritisch zijn. ;o) Toch een voordeel dus!

That looks like something out of a James Bond movie, very cool :)

Beware James, SPECTRE is back!!! Mhuahahaha ;-P

Bеn says:

Sabine when there is wind is can be quite chilly but when you're further down into the valley of the gledser where there is less wind it can quite be warm.
Carmen ja bijna 3000m. De kabelbaan gaat bijna met 1 kabel omhoog, echt ontzettend steil. Per tandradtrein terug duurt langer dan een half uur. Grappig is dat op deze berg precies de grens is met Oosterrijk. Vroeger kreeg je hier een stempel in je paspoort, nu niet meer.
Amsters@m ja zeker James Bond! Daar dacht ik ook aan toen ik dit gebouw zag. Ja, ik zal oppassen "Spectre"

Thanks all for your comments, invites and faves :)

wow...the building on the top of the mountain seems to be from a magic world..reminds me of the movie 'master of the ring'

OliveEyel says:

Love that view!
So incredible that it's a 4MP camera U used.
I guess it's true that U don't need all those MP unless you're cropping.
Your shots seem 2 prove this theory greatly.
I must say U have really inspired me 2 head 2 the mountains while I am in
Europe next time, only problem is that I don't own a BIG winter coat anymore.
No need here in Florida!
Oh poor me...
Hahahaha!
; )
PS. Your daughter did a lovely job with your portrait there.
Bet U've given your kids the photo bug as well.
They'll B real pros 1 day if they start early.
Nice Papa & Mama pic!

What a fabulous shot. I agree with some of the others it is like the setting for a movie, Bond or something like that.

Love the angle you have taken it from. More impressive is the camera you are using....now why did I buy that 5D!?! :-)

Great shot.

Richie21 [deleted] says:

Ben ,

Dit is gewoon niet normaal zo mooi, eigenlijk zijn al jouw foto's topkwaliteit (maar dat wist ik natuurlijk al sinds ik met je gewerkt heb in Tokio).
Volgens mij moet je gewoon een gallerie beginnen, maak zo snel mogelijk van je hobby je werk. Als je een investeerder zoekt dan ben ik van de partij.

Mazzel,

Richard P.

hele sterke! maakt een onaardse indruk! kan me zo niet voorstellen dat ik als jongetje (lang geleden) naar die top gelopen ben !!! toen kon men ook al met de lift naar boven, maar het zag er totaal anders uit! komt bij mijn favorieten te staan!

Bеn says:

Kathy, thanks for your visit. Making great photo's is not about the camera. Thanks for the compliment :))
Richie21 leuk dat je me weer gevonden hebt. Ben benieuwd naar jou foto's.
