It happened that my way back home today was passing the same point from this morning (see “Morning Autumn Mirror Lake“), but this time it was right on time for a beautiful sunset:

Fall time is here, and frequently in this time we can have a Föhn wind situation:

It was a very warm (32°C) and beautiful summer Sunday. Spent some time at the ‘house lake’. The picture shows a view over Lake Lauerz to my home village on the other side:

Far to the left the Rigi, with the Rossberg in the middle. On the left of the Rossberg is the rock slide area from 1806 (see “Hacking the Heating System for Cooling – Geothermal Drilling with extra Benefits“). On the right the Spiegelberg and then far to the right part of the Mythen.
Happy Laking 🙂
Sunday and Rain is Coming …

It is Sunday morning, and the sun shines into the valley of Schwyz. It looks like it could be a beautiful Sunday, but the weather forecast predicts clouds and rain for the afternoon. So I make a panorama shot to the west to my home village and the Rigi mountain int the background. Rain is coming soon…

Grand Prismatic Spring

The Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest and one of the most brilliant of the many springs in Yellowstone. The temperature of the water is around 60°C. The yellow, orange and brown colors are caused by small heat-loving microorganisms, names thermophiles. The intense blue color in the center is because of the sunlight gets scattered by fine particles in the water. Simply beautiful!
Happy Heating 🙂

I worked the past weekend and nights using the Freescale FRDM-K64F board with the colorful Adafruit NeoPixels (see “Tutorial: Adafruit WS2812B NeoPixels with the Freescale FRDM-K64F Board – Part 1: Hardware“). These RGB LEDs can create beautiful colors. For for the non-geeky readers I have a more ‘natural’ one:

The beautiful colors in Yellowstone National Park (USA) are the result of pigmented bacteria that grow around the edges of the mineral rich water. I very much enjoyed it a few years ago, cannot wait to get back there.
Happy Coloring 🙂
