Corsica South, couple of highlights

 This summer, despite of a global situation, we managed to carry out our holiday.

Once cancelled, we reserved our apartment twice actually. And so in the end of August we got to the area around Porto Vecchio, Corsica. We chose the region, tempted with the photos of the 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Palombaggia and Santa Giulia beaches.

Palombiaggia is known for its red rocks peeking out of the white sand. Early morning light accentuates these colours. Together with white sand and blue water is nice to shoot from a land and from above

 

 

To the main photo spots and tourist attractions you can count for sure the city of Bonifacio. Take a parking behind the city towards Pertusato. You can just pay for a parking place or book a boat tour in the bay of Bonifacio. Both options are ok, because the parkings in the city are full quickly and expensive.

Another attraction in this area is the beach around Pertusato. Be ready for around 20 minutes walk form the small parking area. Or the hiking tour to another side of a bay to the Phare de la Madonetta. Not complicated walk, around one hour.

If you want to change a view a little and hike a little bit in the interior. I can recommend the nice trip to the Cucuruzzu. The nice walk in a very interesting forest that looks just so different from ours, that we know here in the north of Europe. This is a megalith small castle with beautiful view on the Col the Bavella.

Another point of interest and some mountains wandering is a Waterfall Pisca di di Ghjaddu. Easy trip. Big parking lot. But in our low pandemic season was almost full around 11. Just last couple of meters to the waterfall are for adults that have a good grip, let’s say so.

Another hike that we chose from a vast options was a wander to the Trou de la Bombe. A big hole in the rocks. Not a hard walk. Just last meters to the hole can make you really dizzy.

 

And the very highlight is a river hike. We chose easier option to get. The Fiumicelli. We were first on the small parking. Normally it is already around 9 a.m. full. The entire walk in this river trial is something extraoridinary. And a huge fun with clamber through the stony river, jumping in the deep water. Remember about non-slip shoes and some waterproof bag for your car keys.

The Famous View

Probably the most famous view in Tirol

Thanks to Social Media the Kebema Bridge just behind the Olperer Hut attrackts tousands of tourist. Built in 2007 has now its time.

The easy hike way from the valley to the hut takes around 1,5 h. Than you have to plan the queue time for taking some photos with this motif. And this is actually always more or less busy. You have one-day-tourists and after them those, who like me stay for a night :)

It has been getting more difficult to get some free parking slot. So be prepared for some problems: Schlegeis Parking Clinch

I was as well really fascinated with this view. Last year I had to cancell trip to Olpererhütte because of the bad weather conditions. This year I decided to make the photos even more tyrolean... Normally all the models carry their fancy dresses in a backpack to change them just before the actual photo shooting. But the Lederhose are so comfortable ;) that you can wear them all the way. Even that was a little attraction on the way. And of course if you sharp your eyes you will find there another stunning frames with the lake. I must say as well very attractive and all the time actually empty...

Canola Charm

Every year I am trying to get seasonal moody atmosphere.

Whereas the autumn, winter places are well known, canola fields travel. Let's say so.
You never know where they turn up :)

And it is always a little bit race against time,
they are not so yellow forever

This time not far from home....

Some flying above and some getting early for the spot



The sunrise time is now merciless...
Really hard to get up and be on spot on time :)

Flying high or not

It has been a long time from my last post and Dolomites trip.

Since than I didn't give up the photography but I don't have much time to describe everything. I've been planning some photo spots guides around big lakes near Munich. But the photo collection has been still collected :)


What I maybe mention would be my drone. I have a mavic air. Already a year. Like everything in my hobby combined with everyday life I do it, I mean flying, occasionaly.


And actually it is still difficult for me to focus myself complete on a frame on the telephone and compose a photo and at the same time to control my drone. It is somehow easier when everything stays on the ground like your tripod in front of your eyes.



Of course first what I wanted to try was top-down view and to photograph from such perspective.
But I try as well just a normal compostion. Both makes a lot of fun but is not that much easy.









So sometimes I get the drone not very high to try to catch some leading lines and early light

 

Sport grounds and colourful playgrounds invite to experiment

Canola field are the subject itself

Various streams are as well very attractive
