Oeschinen Lake is a lake in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, 4 km east of Kandersteg in the Oeschinen valley. at an elevation of 1578 m. The lake is fed through a series of mountain creeks and drains underground. The water then re-surfaces as the Oeschibach. Part of it is captured for electricity production and as water supply for Kandersteg. The lake is generally frozen during five months, from December to May. Fish in the lake include arctic char (Seesaibling), lake trout (Kanadische Seeforelle), rainbow trout (Regenbogenforelle). From January to March, ice fishing is popular. A chair lift from Kandersteg leads to Oeschinen, 20 minutes by foot from the lake.

Paul, hope you had a great holiday. Don't ask you whether you were able to capture nice photographs or not as this wonderful image already shows that you were able to do so indeed. Thanks for the nice description as well. Regards, Cornelius

So beautiful, Paul! And did the cow arrive here by chair lift too? lol I'd like to have seen you as you took this shot! The cow appears to be looking right past you to something behind you. Such an interesting image!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

awesome picture. I want to photoshop those tags off the ears. But I love the perspective. Looks like babe the big blue ox...as big as the mountain.

Ook deze foto is zeer geslaagd en laat weer eens goed zien hoe mooi Zwitserland is.
En daarmee bedoel ik hoofdzakelijk het Berner Oberland.
Je kon ook met een paard en wagen naar het restaurant komen hehe he :-) ik hoop maar dat je gewoon gelopen hebt ! hehe he
Bedankt voor deze schitternde post. ( waar ben je allemaal geweest in Zwitserland ?)

No trees were killed in the sending of this message. However, a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
Great. How in the world did you manage to get that close to the cow and then to have it look right at the camera. Is that a real cow, or just a couple of friends in a cow suit?? Just kidding. I love the contrast of the colors - blue sky, pure white snow and even the glowing mountain lake.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
