The most epic landscape in Switzerland!

Interesting, but I'd prefer to not have the flower/insect filler and more of the glacier itself. Didn't even see the glacier until two minutes into the video...

Around 1:10 is the straight wall/lip of the left hand side of the dam natural? What is it made of? That looks like a fair amount of water to be living immediately down stream of, especially with so little 'freeboard'.

Normally I would agree with that but in this case I think the rest of the video is so well made and scenic that overall it is nicely balanced.

Just a little foreplay, i'm sorry

Thank you! I think this is a small artificial Dam (just earth and rocks piled up) and there was a small transformer building as well, we like to get all the power we can from our natural resources here in Switzerland.
So i think this lake (or at least the size it is now) is mostly artificial.

Very Beautiful there! Great music. The whole thing, to me, was very cinematic! I really like the effect you used @ 4:39 with the hikers and the glacier.

Breath-taking! Enjoyed the whole production, including the 'wild life'. Beautifully filmed and presented. I also loved the different shots of the expeditioners on the glacier.

Maik- I continue to be astounded and greatly impressed by your magnificent work. Each new episode exceeds the prior ones. I love the way you mixed the macro videos and the great expansive views. You are blessed with both magnificent scenery and great skills. I watched it twice from beginning to end. In particular, I liked the speed ramps, the hyperlapses, and the reveals a lot. The way you brought the music to a crescendo as the scenery became more expansive was also a great piece of editing.

Compared to the mundane videos I usually see, this stands way out and above the others.

Astoundingly well done. Hyperlapses were well done, music well matched with the everpresent wind. I never fail to finish your video as they are always mesmerizing. Thank you for your work.

Easily the best cinematic video the forum gets the privilege of seeing (IMO). Amazing footage, skilful flying, brilliant editing, and the list goes on. Congratulations on episode 44 & I can’t wait for episode 45!

Real nice, I wish you would have backed off those hikers at 4:45 a little farther so could see where they where, and get a perspective of their location and the size of the glacier.
