Wasserflue (844 m/2'769 ft) is a well known vantage point. I wanted to capture first light there but the fog was so thick there was no sun to be seen. The weather just didn't play ball. Instead, I ended up taking pictures of trees.
It snowed end of October in Central Switzerland which is quiet unusal, so there was plenty of snow on the Ratenpass (1'077 m/3'533 ft). Another curiosity was that my Lee filters froze because the mountain pass lay in thick clouds, mist, and the temperatures were below zero. A thin sheet of ice covered them, I couldn't use them. Nevertheless, this didn't prevent me from taking pictures. Down in the valley you can see some houses of Rothenthurm, the village is more to the right though.
