Evolene, Val d'Herens, Valais, Switzerland (Suisse) - Winter landscape pictures of traditional Swiss Alps village

dimanche, janvier 24, 2010 at 5:51PM

Evolene, Val d’Hérens, a traditional Swiss Alps village

We went to Evolène, in the Val d’Hérens a very touritic and traditional valley in the Swiss Alps, close to Sion (Valais capital). There are 2 peaks above 4’000m (Dent Blanche, 4’357m and Dent d’Hérens, 4’171m), as well as some glaciers. The valley is composed of few famous places: Evolène, Arolla, les Haudères, Hérémence, Vex, Nax and the Grande Dixence.

The villages have very typical and traditional chalets, and the Sunday morning life is a nice moment for the locals to gather and drink some hot wine while listening folkloric music. Evolène is actually the 4th largest town in Switzerland, not by its population (1’650 inhabitants only) but by its area. There are a few ski resorts and you can also practice nordic ski, while enjoying a great fondue on the evening!

Reed on the Geneva Lake, Switzerland

Reed plant

A simple picture of a reed plant on the Geneva Lake (Lac Léman). I particularly liked the soft and subtle tones of grey and sand colors that the plant had in this cold winter weather.

BMW Headquarters and Museum, Munich, Bavaria - Germany

dimanche, janvier 17, 2010 at 11:18AM

BMW Headquarters

The BMW headquarters in Munich is one ofthe place to see when going in Bavaria. Innagurated in 1972 (during the 1972 Munchen Summer Olympic Games) is now the official headquarter for the car manufacturer over the last 40 years. It’s now registred as a historical building since 1999. The main tower consists of 4 cylinders, suspended in the air attached to the main structure. It has BMW branded badges on the top of the building, which has 22 floors (18 are office spaces). The building was also shot during the movie Rollerblade, where they remove the BMW badge (same during the Olympic Games).

BMW Museum

Next to it is the BMW Museum, which roof carry the full painted BMW logo. Freshly renovated, it was also built in 1972, shortly after the Olympic Games. It’s one of the most visited museum in Munich, more than 250’000 vists every year. A must see for every BMW fan!

5 High Resolution Wallpapers of La Forclaz, Swiss mountains in Valais (Switzerland)

samedi, janvier 2, 2010 at 11:41PM

Swiss Alps Wallpapers

I’ve already posted the pictures some times ago, however I’ve decided to now offer 5 wallpapers version of each picture in 7 different sizes, as usually on JHG Photography, from 1024x768 up to wide size of 2560x1440! That should fit very well your new iMac 27” you’ve probably received at Christmas!

The Forclaz is a mountain pass in Valais (Switzerland canton famous for its ski ressorts of Verbier, Zermatt, Crans Montana, Nendaz and many others!), close to the city of Martigny and taking you eventually to the Emosson Dam and lake. It goes from 471m to 1’527m of altitude, situated in Switzerland and ends in France in Chamonix. It’s actually a very nice location, typical of the traditional postcard mountain landscapes of Switzerland.

Starting the new year with a new design!

vendredi, janvier 1, 2010 at 9:18PM

I had a bit enough of my previous website design, which was too dark… like 2009 actually! Therefore, I’ve spent an hour tweaking completly the design to get to this quite minimalist and modern layout which I hope you will find easy to go through. I’ve tried to design the site to make it much more fresh and light to load and to read through the entries. White background actually conveys pretty well the simplicity, while the previous black side panels with baroque background were a bit too much probably.

This also shows how great is Squarespace and how easy it is to tweak the website so rapidly and so dramatically. I’m using it since more than a year, and I’m satisfied of it. If you’re looking after web hosting and powerful creative system to blog about anything, then Squarespace is the right offer for you. In less than 5 minutes, you have your website running in a very safe and harmonious environement. You can choose between many templates and tweaks a few things to tailor to your needs. It also comes fully ready for search engines optimisation (SEO) and you can actually get your site referrenced by Google and Yahoo very rapidly. Posting on the site is a great pleasure, as you don’t need to type any codes (HTML or CSS), the render is pro whatever you do!

If you’re interested, then don’t hesitate to sign up for a free try. And if more interested, you can use my “powered by Squarespace” black button on the right panel to get some discount!

Have fun and Happy new Year!

Exterior pictures of the BMW Welt (Showroom), Olympiapark, Munich, Bavaria - Germany

mercredi, décembre 30, 2009 at 11:26PM

BMW Welt Exterior

The BMW welt is located just next to the Olympiapark, and in front of the BMW factory and headquarter. If you’re a BMW amateur, this is really a nice place to go at least once. The exterior is also very futurist but much more sharp than the interior.

BMW Welt Interior

I’ve posted yesterday some wallpapers of the BMW Welt in Munich, and I’d like to continue today with some more interior photo of this great architectural piece of art. As you can see, the interior is vast, very luminous and has some creative and modern curvy walls, guiding the visitor through the BMW car exhibition and the technology showcase.

BMW Welt (Showroom), Olympiapark, Munich, Bavaria - Germany

BMW Welt Olympia Park

One of the main reason I went to Munich was to visit the BMW Museum… bad luck, it was under renovation at that time. However, the BMW Welt (showroom) was just opened and it was a very nice surprise to visit. The building is ultra modern, a fantastic piece of architectural art, giving a very nice environment to showcase the BMW cars. For photography, this is also a unique location to use wide angle and train on perspectives and reflection techniques. Here is a first set of wallpapers, including the Welt and the Olympiaturm in the Olympiapark.
