Shot from near the train station in Spiez this morning, just as the first rays of sun found a way through the clouds to illuminate the town.
The View from Spiez Station
Tuesday, 12th December 2006 • History, Individual photographs, Landscape photography, Photography • No comments
The harbour area of Spiez, taken from the train station. Poet Josef Viktor Widmann (1842–1911) wrote in his book Spaziergänge in den Alpen (Strolls in the Alps) that “the view from Spiez Station is one of the most beautiful in the world“. I’d imagine that the foreground of this view was quite different at the turn of the twentieth century, but it’s still breathtaking.
