Making Moments Last on Lake Königssee

Today and yesterday was spent in the Bavarian Alps including this sweet spot called Lake Königssee. Surrounded by towering rock cliffs and a crystal clean lake, our electric boat glided across the smooth surface of this fjord-made lake.

Half way to the St. Bartholomew Church our boat driver cut the engine and played a trumpet into the face of the mountain. The sounds of the trumpet bounced off the rocky precipice making for a haunting echo serenade. On board were a team of lederhosen-wearing musicians who played a couple squeezeboxes for our entertainment. Both added to the magic of our Bavarian sojourn.

The clouds act swiftly in the mountains so act swiftly taking photography. When the wind blows in there's no time fussing with your shutter speed or aperture. Just take the shot or the the shot is lost.

The same can be said of life experiences. The last time I was here was 28 years ago when I was a wee tiny 10 year old. I vacationed here with my German family including Dad and sis. That time in my life feels just as fleeting as taking this snapshot, short-lived but sweet.
