Photographer's Note
The last days I showed you some pictures taken during a hike in the low mountain range Rhön - in the federal state Hessen. Now we are on top of the highest mountain there, the Wasserkuppe (950 m), looking in north-westward direction. The Wasserkuppe is a mountain where Fulda river and about 30 other brooks have their origin. Gliding was developed here on Wasserkuppe at the begin of 20th century.
Everywhere in the Rhön you can find mountains of volcanic origin. In tertiary volcanic melt intruded the mottled sandstone here and mostly it solidified in this bedrock. Erosion within millions of years carried away the sandstone and laid open the much more harder basalt funnels. The most impressive laid open basalt mass here is the "Milseburg" (835m) which you can see here right hand in the background. You can see also some other basalt cones. Please also look here.
Many of the Rhön mountain tops since the Middle Age were used as pastures - not only the slopes - and so today great parts of the Rhön still are woodless with wonderful panoramic views. Flocks of sheep today ensure that these neglected grassland with its very special flora is preserved. By this means the Rhön is a very special mountain range in Germany - and my favorite one ... and it's a true paradise for hikers.

Romantic and beautiful. Superb mood. Maybe not so fine as summer, but has its own value.
Regards my dear friend.

Bonjour, cher ami Frank,
Saison des couleurs chatoyantes, du crépitement des feuilles qui tombent, de la cueillette des champignons ou des mûres... L'été est fini mais l'automne est si beau ! Au royaume du symbolisme, la saison est rayonnante...
Magnifique vue panoramique qui porte au loin notre regard. Merci, également pour les autres publications très belles.
Ici, aussi, le temps s'est rafraîchi sérieusement, la chaudière a été remise en service !
Poignée de main très amicale.
Philippe

Hello Frank,
A beautiful autumnal landscape photo from your favourite Rhön mountain range. The green stripe of trees nicely divides the mostly orange foreground and the green background with several mountain ridges and tops. Nice warm colours and excellent depth in spite of the haziness.
Greetings from today rainy Espoo

Bonjour mon Ami Frank,
Mais tu as eu un temps superbe ce jour là ! Ici c'est la grisaille avec, quand même, de rares et courtes éclaircies.
Ta prise de vue est bonne, avec un bon piqué. J'aurais seulement coupé le haut pour réduire au format 1/3 2/3, plus panoramique pour ce genre d'image.
Excellente fin de semaine.

Bonjour Frank
Merci tout d'abord pour ta critique sur le méandre de Queuille.Habitant à 3 kms du Méandre, il m'est facile de le photographié tout au long de l'année.
Les paysages que tu photographies, ressemblent beaucoup aux paysages de l'Auvergne. J'aime beaucoup la composition avec ce tracteur qui donne de la vie dans la photo.
Ton français est très bon, moi je ne parle pas un mot d' Allemand!
A bientôt.

A fine landscape here Frank. Almost like a classic painting with the good disposal of details, like the foreground and middle part backed by the bright sky. Nice work.

Hallo Frank,
ein ganz attraktiv aufgebautes Bild mit angenehmen Proportionen. Der leichte Dunst verstärkt schön die Tiefe und die herbstlichen Farben des Vordergrunds bereichern das Bild auch farblich.
Ein schönes Wochenende wünsche ich Dir

Hi Frank,
Beautiful landscape and a very fine picture in two parts; the brownish foreground and the greenish background. The inclusion of a tractor is not unimportant for the total composition.

Hallo Frank,
dies ist wirklich ein Meisterwerk! Das Licht, die Atmosphäre des frühen Herbstes mit dem Dunst am Horizont und die goldenen Farben im Vordergrund sind wunderbar. Tolle Arbeit!
Viele Grüße aus dem stürmischen Norden!

Hallo Frank,
Great capture of this infinite landscape that offers us your good setting.
I like its great depth of image, its difficult but controlled well light and its great chromatic quality.
It is a very relaxing and very well compound image.
Reagards from a soft (19ºC at 9:28 pm) Barcelona.

Malgré la lumière difficile, les couleurs et le cadre sortent parfaitement, on sentirait même presque l'odeur du foin!

Hello Frank,
I have enjoyed browsing through your gallery. That is the beauty of this site; you have a massive, interesting gallery at your fingertips!
I chose this because I was amazed at its lovely details and sense of freedom!
The lovely horizontal layers of colour recede into the far distance giving a great sense of perspective.
Then, if you look carefully, there are the smallest details, like the flowers and the tractor, to observe.
The haze is like a veil, slowly lifting to reveal the beauty!
Kind regards,
Bev :-)
