Fireweed from Swiss Alps

Gallery: FloraPosted May 13, 201239 views7 comments

I’ve captured this fireweed photo high in the mountains, namely in the Susten (not Susta) Pass in Swiss Alps, on the way from Interkirchen in Canton Bern to Wassen in Canton Uri (excellent place to visit).

Comments & suggestions most welcome.

Miro - Nice use of the flowers for the foreground. Clouds add to the scene and love that blue sky.

Miro:
Interesting alpine vegetation and bright blue sky.

The image is too balanced to the point I do not know whether the main subject is the fireweed or the sky

I would perhaps get closer to fireweed to give this more emphasis.
