2004 - Misty Mountain


After all that rain we had an incredibly clear day.

I took this image of Villach’s most iconic landmark, the mountain “Mittagskogel” (“Noon Mountain” because it is exactly south of Villach at the border to Slovenia), using my Sigma 150/2.8. It’a an unwieldy combination, but on the Olympus E-P2 this lens really excels. I didn’t have to lug the lens around either, I just stood on our terrace.

The Song of the Day is “Misty Mountain Hop” from the 1971 fourth Led Zeppelin album. I’ve already used it in “1045 – Misty Mountains”. Hear it on YouTube.
