© Robert Bösch, 2000s, Klausenpass, Switzerland
This photo is part of his book ‘Moments’ / Benteli Verlag:

“Born in Switzerland, Robert Bösch ranks among the most celebrated landscape photographers in the world. Nature and especially mountain landscapes have always had a magical appeal to him. In 2001 he even scaled Mount Everest.
This book presents a selection of his most striking photographs, taken in the course of his numerous journeys across all seven continents. The images show that not only the extreme conditions of the Himalayas or Patagonia offer remarkable motifs, but that unique locations can be discovered right in one’s own backyard.
Landscape pictures often only reveal themselves for a few seconds before vanishing again – Robert Bösch is a master at recognizing and capturing these images with his camera before they are lost forever.”
