Long time exposure,  Motion Blur,  reflection,  Travel

Valle Verzasca

The valley of the Verzasca is famous for its clear water, which makes its way through rocks and takes on characteristic green colour. Correspondingly, many people are attracted to it. Actually, you’re here for hiking. The Postbus stops at manyplaces and spits out large groups of hikers.

The first day I wanted to try out different locations to see what to expect.

The bridge, named Ponte dei salti,  with the two arches is from Roman times and is good for many selfies. With a long-term exposure one can see the arcuate construction with its reflection in the water. And the many visitors who flock on the bridge are miraculously invisible.

Swirling water can be found everywhere, in a natural way picturesque photographs are created.

To my surprise, the sun was seen and felt in the valley for along time. It got really hot. Only in the evening, when the rocks gave off their heat, did it become less agitated.

I like to make things visible the naked eye isn't able to see. That's part of my profession as a radiologist, too.
