2,500+ selected beautiful pictures for digital photo frames

Since 2005, wilderness guide Jörg Klingenfuß has taken more than 25,000 (twenty five thousand) pictures in Rimella and in the Sesia valley. These cover the large wilderness area of the Mastallone valley, from the surroundings of the small city of Varallo at 500 metres altitude up to the summits of the Mastallone and Strona valleys peaking at more than 2,400 metres, providing spectacular views and panoramas from the momentous massif of the Monte Rosa via the 4,000+ metres high summits of the Wallis down to the vast Lowlands of Northern Italy.

For those who would like to view Rimella and its beautiful surroundings, we offer more than 2,500 (two thousand five hundred!) selected superb pictures on a digital memory card. All pictures are labelled with the file name in the lower left corner. Examples:

The pictures have been optimized for rapid display in a digital photo frame to the exact format 1024 • 768 pixels, i.e. they are larger than the examples above that have been scaled down to 800 • 600 pixels for this webpage. The generous format 1024 • 768 pixels is used e.g. by the recommendable 10-inches device Intenso Media Creator. At Amazon this now costs less than 80 EUR, and it has been recommended by TEST November 2010 due to its excellent picture quality - that we perfectly confirm! - in the size 20 • 15 centimetres. - The pictures cover all seasons year round with their full variety, and the period from 2005 to 2011. This unique collection comprises representative sections of our spectacular digital panoramas - in some cases three-dimensional (!) - as well. Media Creator digital photo frames can be viewed at our friends at Rimella in the Albergo Fontana and in the Bar Monte Càpio, and at Nosuggio in the Osteria Emilia.

We use original SanDisk 4 gigabyte SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) memory cards; these have proven as excellent in our digital cameras in the wilderness field. The price of the card with 2,500+ pictures is 60 EUR. Please order here or send us an e-mail at info@rimella.de.

What's more, our archives comprise thousands of pictures, especially macro pictures, of flora and fauna. More than 400 species have been defined according to the biological systematics by means of experts on the spot, Wikipedia, and specialised webpages in the Net. A list of species defined so far can be found here.

Amount of work involved: about 2,400 man hours in the mountains, about 290 man hours on the computer.
