I like the shape of Stürmechopf (769 m/2'523 ft), a hill with a „pointy“ peak covered completely by forest. There is a path up there, but you won't get any nice views because of the trees. What I tried here was to „frame“ the hill. Which wasn't an easy task. Finding anything on a field was hard enough. And I feared the farmer wouldn't like me stomping around on his field. Luckily, he didn't see me. I came upon this fallen tree which hasn't been moved away, and I used it to frame Stürmechopf. Grindel SO.
I rushed up the Allerheiligenberg (880 m/2'887 ft) awaiting a nice sunset and didn't quite get what I came for. The problem was that the view to the west is completely blocked by the hill and the forest. Although there is a gap to the southeast where you get a nice view. This might be a good spot for sunrises. Nevertheless, at least there was some nice light on those far away hills, especially that marvellous golden light on the huge rock face was an eye-catcher. I think that was once or still is a quarry. The city to the left is Olten and the one to the right is Wangen bei Olten. What I like the most is the beautiful sky and the tiny cows. The icing on the cake would have been some wonderful light on the pasture. But you can't get everything. Allerheiligenberg (886 m), Hägendorf SO.
Evening light pouring through the trees. I planned nothing, it just happened. Oberi Schlucht, Hägendorf SO.
