Trekking To The Top Of Europe

Trekking To The Top Of Europe
We’re back from our honeymoon!

As we adjust back to Singapore time, here are some new images from our trip to share with you. This is one of my favourite and was taken from Jungfraujoch, or the “Top Of Europe” as it is known in tourist literature (most likely a misnomer since there are higher peaks in the Swiss Alps). Jungfraujoch hosts the Jungfraubahn, which at an elevation of 3,454 metres, is the highest railway station in Europe. The outdoors was at a freezing minus 7 degrees Celsius! I was lucky to be taking this from the comfort of our cafeteria while taking lunch. Putting the lens flush to the window did help to minimise any reflections. The use of a polarising filter helped to deepen the colour of the sky dramatically.

Updated: Please take a look at my comment for a short “making-of” description of this picture.

I am back for a post before I travel to Switzerland and Italy for my honeymoon trip… Hope to bring you more updates after that then!

This was taken outside our Bridal Suite at the Marina Mandarin Hotel. The morning sunlight filtering through the skylight within the hotel lit the room corridors perfectly. I was lucky to catch this man looking over the corridor ledge as I was heading back into our room.
