Day 5: Mineral searching in the Kriegalptal

The Binn area is world-famous for the occurence of minerals, and besides that it's also a very beautiful place. I decided to test my luck in the Kriegalptal, a side-valley which is less often visited by tourists. I didn't have much time to take photographs, but the few I did take show the beauty of the valley (at least I hope they do ;-)
Recently I photographed some of the "treasures" I found with either my Sigma 70-300 or with an old 35-80 with a reversed 55mm screwed in front. I'm not gonna tell you how big these crystals really are...
