How was this photo created? Neither is it a photomontage nor is behind me a street or a village. I took this image at the Sämtisersee in the Alpstein. To reach this place I had to walk a steep path up to this high plateau and there was also no tree where I can photograph, no no. I had to take the tree, the lamps and all the decorations with me. After I was there I build up the tree and waited for the right light, when it’s dark enough to see the lamps and the landscape still bright enough to see it and the sky has a beautiful sunset touch.
You know my motto: Nothing is to far to get a good image!

I wish you a merry Christmas for you and yours and a relaxing time!
