Exploring and photographing Switzerland

Switzerland is the home of landscape photographer Johan Peijnenburg, and he loves to write about it. Expect to find stories about the Swiss Landscape Photographs that resulted from his many trips to explore and photograph Switzerland. The photographs feature the beautiful Swiss Alps, the countryside, and of course the Swiss lakes. Also, quite a few of the stories feature Nature’s Detail found in Switzerland.
