Grindelwald in Moonlight: Nighttime Wonders Unveiled ･ Photo Tour with

One of my dreams came true: a photo tour with Sylvia Michel, the amazing Swiss creator and photographer. We visited Grindelwald First and stayed overnight in the mountain guest house to capture the beauty of the mountains at night and enjoy the place without crowds. It was an unforgettable experience-even when the night sky was not clear, and we didn't capture the Milky Way as planned initially.
It was a ton of inspiration to visit one of Sylvia's favorite places, see Rasta playing in the snow, and peek behind the scenes of Sylvia's video creation.
Thanks, Sylvia, for this amazing trip!

Thanks so much for your very kind words, Sylvia ✨ But especially thank you for a wonderful trip and all the fun staring together at mountains at 5 o'clock in the morning ✨🏔🌕

@@JaroslavBengl It was so much fun - I'm ready for the next one!

Such a wonderful video! And music is so calming🤗.

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks so much, my dear friend! ✨ It was a wonderful trip, being with a similar minded people in the mountains, sharing stories and photos, and trying to capture a little bit of that beauty on the cameras, is really wonderfully recharging experience... 🔋😀 Wish you a great weekend and thanks for your kind words! 😀 Music is from Scott Buckley - outstanding musicians, who does Creative Commons music... www.youtube.com/@ScottBuckley

What a great video Jarda!

[@JaroslavBengl]

Francisco, thank you so much! 🤩 Really glad that you like it! 👍🏻 It's great to be in the mountains with someone, who is similar minded, willing to wake up at 3:30 to check the sky conditions 😀 Wish you a wonderful weekend! ✨🙋🏻‍♂️

[@todoinSwiss]

Beautiful video 👍, our love for Switzerland just keeps growing 😄

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks a lot for your visit! ✨😀 Switzerland is beautiful, isn't it? I am really thankful for the chance to live here and explore it... Our family is from Prague, Czech Republic, but we live in Switzerland for the last 15 years and love it here 🥰

[@ALRminimalistmusic]

Absolutely magnificent video ! Very well done

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks so much! ✨😀 Really glad that you enjoyed it! 👍🏻 We originally wanted to capture the Milky Way, but as nature sometimes changes our intentions, it turned out really well with the moonlight instead 😀

[@elaineatthecraftshed1993]

That was amazing, it made me feel very emotional, you really captured the majesty of those snowy mountains. It was lovely to see Sylvia and Rasta too 💚🇨🇭

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks so much, Elaine! ✨🤩It was a wonderful trip - at the end we were only seven guests at the top of the mountain. We spent the evening sharing stories, photos and going out to look at the mountains... 🏔 Wish you a wonderful weekend 🙋🏻‍♂ We will have a summer "preview" this weekend (it should be warm and sunny) 😀

[@KoreaDroneFilms]

This is a really beautiful video, Grindelwald in the moonlight is fantastic.👍👍😍😍✨✨🤞🤞

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks a lot! ✨😀 Really glad that you enjoyed it! 👍🏻Moonlighted landscape is really like a fairytale. We originally wanted to make photos of Milky Way (which starts to appear finally again), but the clouds changed our plans. We woke up at 3:30 in the morning as there was supposed to be a small window of non-cloudy sky, which was not, but finally we went out again at 5:00... Wish you a great weekend! ✨🙋🏻‍♂

Je to moc krásné, hlavně ty noční timelapsy jsou až mystické ✨️✨️😊moc se Ti to povedlo 👍

[@JaroslavBengl]

Děkuji moc, Pavli! 😀 Byl to turbo výlet, ale povedlo se to 👍🏻 Hory osvícené měsícem byla skvělá alternativa k původně zamýšlené Mléčné dráze. A Rasta, hrající si ve sněhu, je fakt zážitek 😂

[@PetraVelebova-ss5du]

Dobrý večer, opět další nádherné video...❤... Ohromující výhledy a neuvěřitelně působivé noční záběry....fakt paráda 😍 Děkuji za sdílení, těším na další Vaše videa a také další se Sylvií a Rastou 🫶🍀❤️. Hezký večer a víkend přeji 🙋

[@JaroslavBengl]

Děkuji Vám za moc milý komentář! 🥰 To setkání bylo opravdu úžasné... Nápad Sylvie zůstat nahoře, když už jsou všichni turisté pryč a mít celou oblast jen pro sebe, byl báječný. Bylo nás tam ve finále sedm, z toho dvě dívky z USA, které podcenili cestu a nestihli se vrátit. Sylvia je přesvědčila, že je nebezpečné zkoušet po tmě sejít dolů (3 hodiny) bez správného vybavení a tak zůstali přes noc na horské chatě s námi. Spolu s neuvěřitelným cestovatelem a fotografem z Pakistánu. No byl to večer, na který se nezapomíná... Vyprávění, obrázky, a k tomu Rasta ležící u nohou pod stolem... Ve 3:30 ráno jsme vstávali, zjistit, zda se vyčasilo... 😂

[@SlovenianGirlAbroad]

What a great collaboration! Love Rasta's videos & photos, so it is so cool to see him featured in your video. Love the time-lapses. Another brilliant video Jaroslav!

[@JaroslavBengl]

Very glad that you enjoyed the video, Urška! 😀✨ It was a wonderful trip and even when our main topic - shooting Milky Way did not worked out, we had really great time on the top of the mountain. In total we were five travelers and two lost girls, who missed the last cable car down. It was really fun to see Rasta in real, playing in a snow ❄️☃️ I'm so looking forward to our coffee and upcoming video collaboration on Luzern! 🤩 With many friendly greetings! 🙋🏻‍♂️

@@JaroslavBengl Me too! Hopefully this summer. ☕️🤞

Another beautiful Video 😊 stunning Landscape and nice cinematic edeting 🔥 Love the timlapses 😁

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks a lot for your kind words, Moritz! ✨ It was a great trip. Initially, we wanted to capture the Milky Way (as the season had already started again), but the clouds were not helping... So, I changed the subject and focused on moonlighted landscape with the clouds instead 👍🏻 Sorry for the delay, I was on a business trip to India, and the days were quite hectic... But it was wonderful, and I will hopefully make some videos 😀 Wish you a wonderful Sunday! ✨🙋🏻‍♂️

[@RELAXINGMOMENT]

Thanks for sharing friend your passion in photography and the music as well gives us relax and chill.

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks so much for your kind words! ✨😀 Really glad to hear from you that it gives you relax. It was really a wonderful evening. Meeting similar-minded people who love travel and mountains and are willing to wake up at 3:30 to observe the night sky is really recharging 🔋 Many greetings from Switzerland! 🙋🏻‍♂️✨

Absolutely stunning work. So blessed to have been able to share in these moments with you ❤

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks so much, Ahmad, for your kind words! ✨🥰 I found out that I did not have any video footage of us together, so I was not able to put you in the video 😔 It was a wonderful evening and I'm really looking forward to meet you again 👍🏻 Many friendly greetings! 🙋🏻‍♂

Incredible winter shots 👌👌👌

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks a lot, my dear friend! ✨ It was a beautiful evening. Meeting people with the same passion and hobby is always a great moment 😀 And nature shows us an alternative show - instead of the Milky Way, we got the moonlight clouds and landscape 🏔️🌕☁️

Oh Wow 😮 เป็นทิวทัศน์ที่น่าทึ่ง 👍👍👍

ขอบคุณสำหรับคำพูดของคุณ! ✨ เดิมทีเราอยากจับภาพทางช้างเผือกไว้จนในที่สุดก็สามารถเห็นทางช้างเผือกได้อีกครั้ง แต่เมฆไม่มีการแบ่งแยกเลย ☁️☁️☁️ 😀 แต่ทิวทัศน์ที่มีแสงจันทร์ส่องเป็นทางเลือกที่ดี 🌕 สวัสดีเพื่อนรัก! 🙋🏻‍♂️

Děkuji moc, Petře! ✨😀 Společné setkání se Sylvií jsme plánovali už od Vánoc, a i když jsme původně chtěli fotit Mléčnou dráhu nad horama, ten měsíc a mraky byla skvělá změna 😀🌕 Je prima být v horách s někým, kdo je stejný "blázen" a ochotný vstávat ve 3:30, jestli už je lepší výhled 😂

Never disappointed watching your videos, this one is no different. "Show them your happy face", I believe. 3:38

[@JaroslavBengl]

Thanks, Kylie! 🤗✨ This was really a special trip for me - to meet in person one of the best Swiss photographers, Sylvia Michel. We originally wanted to take a night photos of Milky Way, but the weather changed our plans 😀 But moon-enlighted landscape was a great alternative topic 😀 We are now discussing another take on Milky Way in a 7-8 days 🌌 Have a wonderful day! 🙋🏻‍♂️
