Beautiful image Timo. As I can see you are a early riser too. Best time to take images. Where is it ?
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Rolf,

It´s on the top of a mountain called "Hohe Warte" very near to the "Autobahn A4" between Cologne and "Gummersbach".
Looking east into the rising sun the view shows us the hills of the "Bergisches Land" and the "Sauerland". I think if the air is clear and you turn around to have a look to the west you can see the Cologne Cathedral in a distance of about 50 kilometers. I will try to make a shot using my Telyt 400 to verify it.

Since I wasn`t really pleased with the very quick first version, I decited to reprocess it a bit, here is my final result:

I'm not sure which one would I choose, both versions have their qualities.
Second version feels cozier but the first version renders better the distance.

The first on is it for me, the "Luftperspektive" works very well in #1, but gets a bit diluted in #2.
[btw. it is not the same picture, the sun is a bit higher in #2]
