Sunset on Rhine Falls

Rhine Falls, the most powerful waterfall in Europe, is one of the most touristic places in Switzerland I have been to. And I do see why. The view on the castle Laufen is impressive! We got there in the evening, and cloud coverage was promising. After a walk along the Rheine, we got back to this viewpoint where I have spent a couple of hours from the golden hour through sunset to the blue hour capturing all the changes in light and clouds. The goal was to make time blending compressing all the impressions in one image.

About the place

_{wikipedia: The Rhine Falls is the most powerful waterfall in Switzerland and Europe. The falls are located on the High Rhine on the border between the cantons of Schaffhausen and Zürich, between the municipalities of Neuhausen am Rheinfall and Laufen-Uhwiesen/Dachsen, next to the town of Schaffhausen in northern Switzerland. The nearest community is Neuhausen am Rheinfall, where tourists can also view the Wörth Castle. Boat trips can be taken up the Rhine to the falls and the Rheinfallfelsen. There are also viewing platforms with views of the falls built on both sides of the Rhine. These are reached via steep and narrow stairs (access by fee on the Schloss Laufen side). Guided tours of various lengths start from Schloss Laufen on the Zürich side of the falls - a youth hostel is also located in Schloss Laufen. Various restaurants are located in Schloss Laufen, Schloss Wörth and the Rheinfall park.
The Rhine Falls are easily accessible by car, bicycle and public transport (SBB railway station "Neuhausen am Rheinfall" on the northern side of the falls and SBB railway station "Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall" on the southern banks of the river). Large pay-parking lots are located on both sides of the falls.}
