view from Raichberg tower in the morning 2015-02-12

Having taken pictures from the Zeller Horn at night, I was on the way back to the parking lot when I saw something like clouds above the horizon. Clouds? Well, not quite, it appears as if I was too unbelieving so it took me a second look until I realized those "clouds" were actually the Alps in 150 km distance which can be seen from here on clear days. I took the shortest way through the snow-covered landscape to reach the Raichberg tower before sunrise to enjoy the view from there:

View to the east.

View to the northeast: Roßberg (17 km distance).

View to the north.

View to the west with Black Forest at the horizon.
