Location: Silvaplana (1790 m)      by: Giuseppe Marzulli
Area: Switzerland      Date: 23 October 2024
Lake Silvaplana is a lake in the Upper-Engadine valley of Grisons. It takes its name from the village of Silvaplana. Together with its larger neighbour, Lake Sils, it is among the largest lakes of the Grisons.
Lake Silvaplana is overlooked by several mountains over 3.000 metres, but due to the bad weather, little can be seen.
The autumn colors of the area are very beautiful.
Nietzsche spent his summer holidays there for many years.

Maybe "thus spoke Zarathustra" means Paul ;-) !? Anyway, wonderful autumn mood and panorama.

Cheers, Hans-Jörg

It seems that Nietzsche found the inspiration to write Thus Spoke Zarathustra during a walk around this lake.
Unfortunately the lake only inspired me to eat a slice of walnut cake. Is it due to the bad weather? ;-)

;-) oh yes, the delicious walnut cake is definitely a better choice than reading works of Nietzsche, even if the depressive mood would also go well with it ;-) ... by the way, the walnut cake was better than any "Müsli-Riegel" at the Rifugios in this region !!

Großartiges Herbstbild!

Die Fahrzeuge hätte ich nicht gebraucht. Entweder warten, bis sie den Frame verlassen haben, oder - für Ungeduldige - digital entfernen.

Grüße,

Giuseppe, "Location: Silvaplana" stimmt nicht, denn es ist bei Sils-Maria aufgenommen worden. Und Sils-Maria war der Aufenthaltsort von F. Nietzsche während mehrer Sommermonate.
Ich finde Nietzsches Schriften interessant und viele seiner Gedichte, ebenso die von Nietzsches Buch "Also sprach Zarathustra" inspirierte Alpen-Sinfonie von R. Strauss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsTo7QxxgYg.

@Dieter: the lake is bordered by a large road. In my panoramas I always try to show things as they are, without ever changing anything. Right or wrong, it's my choice. The road is there and, in my opinion, it's right that it be seen. From my point of view, the pylons of the ski lifts are more unpleasant, but I've never thought of erasing them.
Kind regards.

@Heinz: I saw the house where Nietzsche lived, I know where it is and it is exactly 1,4 km from the shooting point and from Lake Silvaplana.
On the shores of Lake Silvaplana there is the "Nietzsches Nachdenkstein" (you can search for it with Google Maps).
Kind regards.
