Hey all, there are some photos from a hike in the #schwarzwald
Actually we thought that it would just take us less than an hour - but it wasn't simply a straight walk :-D
It was raining from time to time - which was indeed pretty cool. A) there was noone around except us and B) the colors were often just insane. Fully saturated green, the brown from the wood - and sometimes…

Nestled deep within a lush, verdant forest, a rustic wooden staircase winds its way upward, inviting adventurers to explore further. The airy canopy above is a tapestry of intertwining branches, draped with soft mosses that hint at the damp, fertile environment. Sunlight filters through sporadically, casting dappled shadows on the earthy path below.

The staircase, constructed from weathered logs and planks, blends seamlessly into the natural surroundings, as if carved by the forest itself. Fal…

When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls, all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves,
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,

That's how our hike at the #mummelsee started ... and how it was when we were up there. - But the walk was quite okay.
We checked the rain radar and decided to go back down rather quickly. We leveraged our rain gear and it did not disappoint us! 🙂

One more photo today from my recent blog post. At first I really disliked the bright white spots in the background - okay I *still* dislike them.
But ... after a while now I think it's not a too bad photo overall. Anyways - let this be a relaxing start into your weekend!
Cheers! and if you want more context: check out the blog post or even follow my blog from the fediverse: @…

In the heart of a dense woodland, an ancient tree stands as a testament to time, its gnarled roots twisting like veins into the forest floor. Thick layers of vibrant green moss cloak its trunk and sprawling branches, breathing life into the weathered bark. The surrounding forest is a lush tapestry of ferns and leaves, their varying shades of green creating a tranquil, almost enchanted atmosphere.

Dappled sunlight filters through the canopy above, casting soft, shifting patterns on the mossy gr…

A monochrome photograph of a tree in an urban environment. The tree’s textured bark and branching limbs dominate the foreground. Behind it stands a modern building with large windows, vertical and horizontal lines, and a glass entrance canopy. The contrast between the organic form of the tree and the structured geometry of the building creates a balanced composition.

Heyo, I want to share this #photo from a walk in June near #Ebersberg. It's been quite a nice walk, yet no SUPER photos. But maybe enough to bring a smile on your face :)

A tranquil scene unfolds beneath a vast, partly cloudy sky, where soft light filters through the fresh green canopy of trees. The foreground is alive with lush, vibrant foliage—tall grasses and reeds sway gently, framing a serene, shallow body of water that reflects the surrounding greenery. Beyond the water, rolling meadows stretch out, dotted with distant trees and the faint outline of a structure, perhaps a farmhouse or barn, adding a touch of rustic charm.

The atmosphere is peaceful, invit…

For #footpathfriday , here's a nice path I'd say.
This is taken from a bike&hike right after the bike-part and thus the start of a very nice autumn hike last year. When I took this photo, I didn't know - and not even expect how well the rest of the day would be 🙂
Enjoy

A tranquil forest trail winds its way through a lush, green woodland, inviting hikers to explore its natural beauty. The path, a mix of gravel and dirt, meanders gently uphill, bordered by tall pine trees that create a serene canopy overhead. The trunks of the trees are robust and textured, adding a sense of age and stability to the scene.

The forest floor is dotted with patches of vibrant green moss and small plants, adding a touch of life and color to the otherwise earthy tones of the trail.…

One more photo stop that we did after quite a rain pour in the #schwarzwald.
We came up this path when I turned around and saw the sun beams through the canopy. At first I was really stunned to be honest as I hardly *ever* see such scenes!
Strangely I took ways less photos than might have been appropriate, but those two I found worth sharing.
Some more story about them:

The image shows the sun shining through a dense forest, with rays of sunlight filtering through the leaves of the trees. The forest is bathed in a warm, golden light, creating a serene and magical atmosphere. The trees are tall and majestic, their dark silhouettes contrasting against the bright sunlight. The scene is peaceful and tranquil, with a hint of mist or fog adding to the ethereal quality of the setting. The colors are predominantly black, with accents of a rich, earthy green. This capt…

Long weekend upcoming here in Germany!
I was able to take this photo during our #vaction in the #schwarzwald on a rainy day. I was really happy to see this kind of misty moment.
I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I enjoyed the hike.

A rocky trail winds upward through a vibrant forest, the path strewn with sunlit stones and patches of dry grass. Tall pines, their needles a rich green, stand guard on either side, their branches swaying gently in the mountain breeze. The air is crisp and clear, carrying the fresh scent of pine and earth. Above, the sky stretches wide and blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds that cast soft shadows on the landscape below.

In the distance, rolling hills and rugged peaks rise against the horizo…
A rugged, narrow trail cuts through a dense forest, its path lined with weathered rocks and patches of vibrant green moss. The towering pines and firs, their branches thick with needles, create a lush canopy overhead, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. The air is cool and still, filled with the earthy scent of damp soil and pine resin.

The trail ascends a rocky outcrop, its surface a mosaic of gray and brown stones, some covered in a thin layer of moss and lichen. The rocks, worn smo…

This is another photo I was able to take in the #schwarzwald . You might have seen it in my recent blog post. But I wanted to share it here as well.
What really surprises me is how it looked on location vs here now. On location there was a lot of forest around, lots of clutter. It was a challenge to find this view through the foreground so that I could single out this gem of a tree but…

A serene and enchanting forest scene, showcasing a majestic tree trunk covered in vibrant green moss, standing as a testament to nature's beauty and resilience. The surrounding woods are filled with slender trees and branches, creating a peaceful, almost mystical atmosphere. The soft, natural light filters through the canopy, highlighting the lush greenery and the intricate textures of the forest floor. The image captures the quiet magic and timeless charm of the great outdoors.

It's been a day with a lot of input. The absolute opposite of this where I was completely alone.

Nestled within a lush, evergreen embrace, this serene forest trail invites hikers into a tranquil wilderness. The narrow, winding path—strewn with small rocks and bordered by vibrant green grass—gently ascends through a dense canopy of towering pine and fir trees. Their rich, dark needles contrast beautifully with the bright greenery underfoot, creating a soothing palette of forest hues.

 Sunlight filters softly through the overhead branches, casting dappled shadows on the trail and highlighti…

My take for #FootpathFriday from our vacation in the #schwarzwald / #blackforest Iast year.
#hiking

A narrow, winding trail meanders through a dense, misty forest, its path carpeted with a thick layer of vibrant green moss. Towering trees, their trunks dark and sturdy, rise high above, their branches intertwining to form a natural canopy that filters the soft, diffused light. The air is cool and damp, filled with the earthy scent of moss, pine, and the faint hint of mist that lingers among the trees.

The forest floor is a lush tapestry of moss-covered rocks and fallen branches, their surface…
