About the Book
I have admired the landscape for my entire life. The beauty of nature is all around us at all times, but there are brief moments when a combination of elements present themselves in a truly spectacular way. Anybody who is fortunate enough to witnesses one of these events will look back fondly upon the memory. And they are even more fortunate if they happen to have a camera ready to record the event. In order to be in the right place at the right time, it is necessary to understand the complex interactions between light, weather, landscape, plants, and animals.
The landscape around Klosters can be quite spectacular, although the town is mostly known for its skiing opportunities and the corresponding infrastructure like cablecars, slopes, mountain restaurants and the like. But there is much more to this mountain-valley than most visitors are aware of.
The purpose of this book is to share some of the beauty that can be found around Klosters with the visitors who neither have the time nor the opportunity to venture out into the surrounding landscape or to visit the area outside of the skiing-season.

About the Creator
Ich wurde 1957 in Klosters geboren und lebe heute in Zürich. Ich verbringe aber noch immer einen grossen Teil meiner Freizeit in Klosters und Umgebung, sei dies in Ausübung verschiedener Sportarten oder eben auch zum Fotografieren. In den letzten paar Jahren habe er verschiedene Fotokalender veröffentlicht, welche sich thematisch ebenfalls den Landschaften des Prättigaus widmeten. Fotografie ist für mich reine Freizeitbeschäftigung - beruflich bin ich als Informatiker tätig. English version: Photographing landscapes over many years has given me an appreciation of our natural environment. I'm living in Zürich, but I grew up in Klosters and I'm still spending a lot of my spare time here, enjoying various outdoor activities - and whatever I do, most of the time I carry a camera with me. I am not a professional photographer, but an enthusiastic hobbyist, specia-lising in landscape photography - and as a native of Klosters, I know where the good spots are and when to be there...
