The Furka Pass (elevation 2436 meters) is a high mountain pass in the Swiss Alps which I crossed over on my way home from Zermatt to Zurich. As I found out later, this pass has been the location for a chasing scene in James Bond - Goldfinger!

This image is a panoramic photo, stitched from 12 single frames using the program "Kolor Autopano". The sky has been replaced to make it look more dramatic and I used Nik Color Efex 3.0 to add some atmospheric warmth. Furthermore, I did some heavy repairing in Photoshop to get rid of the central roads, wires and other distracting elements. Finally, I added low opacity vignetting to focus the view to the center.

When I saw the movie Thor, I was absolutely blown away by the Asgard interpretation and I told myself: "You gotta build that in Photoshop". So I did! It's a multi-layer creation, based on a series of Swiss Alps photos (one of them has been used for 1,000 feet above the Alps).

Captured in August 2012 during sunrise in the Swiss Alps at around 06:30 AM. View from the "Alpergensee", a small lake above the Goscheneralp valley at around 2510m. The highest mountain in the center is the "Gross Windgallen" with a peak at around 3190m. If you look close you can see the outlines of his little brother aka "Chli Windgallen" right before him with a height of 2986m.

The whole valley below was filled with fog on that lovely morning.

Thanks for viewing, I hope you like it.
