About the artwork

In the golden expanses of September, when the sun sent its farewell greeting with gentle rays over the Allgäu Alps, I found myself at the Rappensee. In front of me rose majestically a mountain cross, marked by time and yet full of dignity. A masterpiece of simplicity, man-made and juxtaposed with nature.
The sky above me was suffused with a deep blue, and the warmth of the late summer sun enveloped me like a loving embrace. The mountain cross stretched up as if to touch the sky, and seemed to me at that moment a symbol of hope and faith in the inconceivable.
To the left behind the cross was the Kleiner Rappenkopf in all its glory, a majestic peak crowning the Allgäu Alps. Its craggy rocks seemed to glow in the warm sun, and I could imagine hikers and mountaineers making their way there to see the world from a different perspective.
I grabbed my camera and captured this magical moment. The picture I took on that sunny September day tells a story of the beauty of nature, of human creativity and of the fascination of mountain life. It is a picture that reminds me how small we humans are in the midst of this mighty nature, and yet how much joy and inspiration it gives us.
This photo of the mountain cross at Rappensee is for me a window to a world full of wonder and adventure, a souvenir of that special day when I was able to experience the Allgäu Alps in all their glory.
