After a beautiful walk thorough the Partnachklamm we were trying to work out what to do for sunset, as our previous plan was not going to we were too late. In the end we decided to head just down the road to a location which we had previously been to for sunrise, the Geroldsee. I am very glad we made this decision, as we turned up to the most beautiful golden light, just in time before the shadow extended over the field as we waited for the sunset. Unfortunately the nice clouds in the sky above the Karwendel all cleared for sunset, which made it a bit of a non event w.r.t. the light in the sky. Nonetheless it created some lovely light on the mountains, and the red hues which were reflecting off the clouds above us (but not in the photos), created a beautiful scene. As the sun was setting, the moon was also rising, which led to some beautiful blue hour photos and reflections in the Geroldsee, showing that it is always worth retuning to locations at different times of the day for a different perspective.

After over five years in Munich I finally headed to the classic gorge near Garmisch, the Partnachklamm. I don’t know why it took so long to visit, and having been there once I would definitely go back as it is really spectacular. I took advantage of being there on a quiet weekday in November and could even use my tripod if I was careful. The pictures speak for themselves, the gorge was spectacularly deep, with a torrent of water flowing through it with the air full of spray. Needless to say our gear got very wet on the trip, thankfully my cameras weather sealing held up well, I think David’s camera has finally dried out now! I will certainly return in winter, as I think with a mixture of ice and the water it could be really spectacular.

On the way to Garmisch we stopped off in Holzkirchen to capture this beautiful avenue weaving its way through old trees. It is literally right next to a car park, and would definitely be a venue to return to with different light or maybe some fog.
