Gradenmoos - IR

Gradenmoos - IR

I went hiking in the wonderful Gradental (Valley of Graden) in Carinthia, Austria. It's located in the National Park Hohe Tauern.
I started in the height of 1680m. After 300m i reached the Gradenmoos. It's a marsh in the height of 1900m.
My target was the great Gradensee (Lake of Graden) in the height of 2488m. There is plateau with three lakes.
It took me three hours to get there. On the way up there i saw a lot of creeks, cascades little ponds and finally the turquois lakes.

This is the Gradenmoos. Water is everywhere and two creeks are flowing here. There are some cows and horses. I don't know how they get there, but they are looking good in the landscape. Unfortunately not to see in this IR-shot.
I have done a lot of postprocess. Colour balance, saturation, hue, masks,... It took me 1,5 hours but it has become my best IR work up to now.
