Darkness at Eagle's Nest... both literally, because of the stormy weather there, and in a transferred sense, because of the history of this place.
The view of the Bavarian Alps from this peak was really fascinating, in clear weather you can even see the town of Salzburg.

You can read more about the history of this building below (from Wikipedia):

The Kehlsteinhaus (in English-speaking countries also known as the Eagle's Nest), is a chalet-style building which when built was an extension of the Obersalzberg complex built by the Nazis in the German Alps near Berchtesgaden. The Kehlsteinhaus was an official 50th birthday present for Adolf Hitler. Nicknamed Eagle's Nest by a French diplomat, it was meant to be a retreat for Hitler and a place for him to entertain visiting dignitaries.

Hey Kristof,
Magnificent vantage point and view. Awesome composition with the house on the right hand side. Very deep greens and the houses down the bottom give a good indication of how high up you were. Very nice shot.

TFS,
Scott.

hi Kristof

I think this POV is already worth the effort to reach this location and enjoy the scenery. I like the 2 layers of the mountain, one in sharp focus near you and another far away beyond the valley, with a nice view of the houses in the deep valley below. A great shot! One day I would like to visit here.

tfs, bill

Hi Kristof

I remember watching Adolf Hitler & his family, enjoying the view from Eagles Nest, in old b&w movies, shown at University, when I was studying history classes. Good pov & dramatic lighting. I like the minimalist colour. Tfs!

Hi Kristoff
To witness a thunderstorm at that altitude must be a bit frightening with the sounds bouncing around.
Fantastic view of the dark and very somber and well done shot.
Dot

Hi Kristof
an excellent shot of this incredible place.
horrible in human history and fantastic in nature.
good pov and dof.
well composed and presented.
greetings

Un nid d'aigle pour un coucou, c'était risqué et d'ailleurs ça a mal tourné ...
Super point de vue et étrange atmosphère qui collent tout-à-fait avec l'objectif souhaité
Well done, Kristof ; just like it was waited to be

Hi Kristof

Very nice composition and this dark side (you keep just enough light) remember us the dark story of the inhabitant of this place.
Best regards
Jean

I must say that you made this shot in the perfect moment - with dark, low sky... When considering the history of this place, you have captured the perfect atmosphere. Good work.

Wonderful landscape shot, with well chosen POV and nice presentation.

Have a nice evening,
