Exploring the surroundings of the lake Schwarzsee in Switzerland, I found this beautiful wooden pier and took a couple of test shots trying composition for the sunset. My wife peeped on the back screen of my camera and told: "You do need a person there." An hour later we got back to the spot. She brought her ukulele and sat there singing a new song. We had been working together on this shot. It was so rare, valuable, and magic moment! What had started as a usual landscape shot with the lake and mountains turned out to be a very personal image for me.
