Rugghubelhütte : Prints Available
Yesterday I hiked up to the Griessental valley, a photogenic alpine valley that I vowed to return to after seeing it the first time during the Brunistock traverse a few weeks ago. This valley is directly above the town of Engelberg; in fact you can see the Rugghubelhütte (above) from town!

See a wider version of this one here (Tough to decide which one I prefer).

#2 is just SICK!
Ditto what Jesse said and Ruchstock is an instant Brauer classic!
Three winners here, Jack, nice work! The first one isn’t as striking as the others, but I really like the effect of the haze and layers of receding mountains.
Number 2 is definitely insane! All really nice shots.
Thanks Jesse, Dave, Jackson, and Gabe!!!
And my vote for number 2 as well. I find number 1 is more interesting the longer I look at it.
Thanks Ken!
I just came back to say how much I’m diggin’ the first for all the layers and depth, but Ken beat me to it. Did you stay in that hut?
Man, Jack, these are sweet. The light is absolutely stunning. I think I like the wider version of the valley you posted…in case you were wanting input.
Thanks Justin! Yeah I’m torn between those two versions… The first, more cropped, version has more immediate impact with the way it fills the frame with color. But the second one has more space and more to explore with the eyes (especially when viewed larger), and it shows a more full sense of the scene.
Claudia agreed with you: “To me the wider version seems to be more interesting. The focus of the first version lies more at the sun, it´s burning your eye…. to me the wider version focusses more on the mountains in the amazing light and sunset, which I like more…”
I don’t like posting nearly identical versions of photos in my galleries, but I can’t seem to decide on this one!
#2 is incredible!
Thanks!
