'Im Nirgendwo' 'in the nowhere'
It might look like a "normal" hiking photo. But that day I hiked into an area where I didn't see nor hear anybody for quite some hours!
Shortly after I took this photo, I reached a spot where I just stopped, looked around and - except for the trail - everything was just …

A serene and inviting forest trail unfolds in this lush, green landscape. The trail, a narrow dirt path, winds its way through a dense forest of tall evergreen trees. The trees, with their vibrant green needles, create a natural canopy overhead, casting dappled shadows on the path below.

The forest floor is a mix of green grass, moss, and scattered rocks, adding texture and depth to the scene. The path is bordered by patches of wildflowers and ferns, their delicate leaves swaying gently in the…

A tranquil and inviting forest scene unfolds in this image, capturing the quiet beauty of a woodland trail in late autumn or early spring. The perspective is from behind a hiker, who is looking ahead at a winding trail that disappears into the distance. The hiker is wearing a pink headband and a green backpack, suggesting readiness for an outdoor adventure.

The trail is flanked by trees, their branches mostly bare but adorned with a few lingering brown leaves, adding a touch of seasonal transi…

People who felt more connected to nature also reported higher well-being.
Researchers who study people’s relationship with the natural world often use the term
“nature connectedness.”
This phrase doesn’t simply mean going hiking or visiting a park.
Nature connectedness refers to the extent to which people see nature as part of who they are
– whether they feel an emotional bond with the natural world and experience a sense of oneness with it.
Someone who has…

A connection to nature fuels well-being worldwide, according to a study of 38,000 people
Feeling part of something larger than yourself may make it easier to cope with stress and uncertainty.

Rattlesnakes!
According to news reports, rattlesnakes are making their way out of their winter dens earlier than normal along the Front Range of Colorado due to the unseasonably warm weather in recent weeks.
If you plan on hiking this spring, stay alert, keep your dog close, and watch where you step. These warmer-than-normal conditions are not typical, which means wildlife behavior may be less predictable than usual.

#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography

View of the upper section of Oytal and surrounding majestic mountains, as seen from a narrow hiking path near the ridge, a 1000 meters above the valley. Super steep grassy cliffs and slopes (in autumn colors) dropping down directly next to the path. Another small path winding up in the valley to the cirque in the distance. Some of these mountains there already dusted with snow.

My #silentsunday photo from a recent hike where I indeed saw the first little blossoms! I was so surprised to see them!
On the one side I was a bit sad as this means that winter is coming to an end and I did have far less winter hikes than wished. On the other side: spring is all around! Colors, more hiking routes, mountainbiking, ... all this is waiting 🙂

A tranquil and picturesque trail scene unfolds in this image, capturing the subtle beauty of nature in transition. The foreground is adorned with clusters of delicate pink wildflowers, their vibrant color standing out against the dry, golden grasses. The flowers add a touch of softness and charm to the otherwise rugged landscape.

The trail winds gently through a mix of evergreen trees and shrubs, their green foliage providing a lush backdrop to the scene. The trees, with their varied heights a…

I realized that a lot of my AI discussions are explaining the difference between hiking a mountain and taking a lift.
If you’ve done both, you know the difference between getting to a summit view efficiently and discovering a mountain.
Apparently though, surprising amount of people literally do not see a difference and I find myself unable to explain it.

Firstly, I am aware that sizing of women's clothing is at *least* this bad.
I've had two pairs of Keen "Men's Hiking Shoes", specifically their "Targhee" brand.
I bought the first pair in person, so fitted the size in person. Those claim "EU 44, US 10.5, UK 9.5, CM 28.5"
When those wore out I ordered a pair of the third version of that shoe in the same UK 9.5 size. After a week it was clear they were too big. My big toes were get…

Hey friends of the #mountains - I almost didn't make it away from my couch today morning. But as you can see, I did!
I spent a couple of hours hiking into the snow. During the ascent I was happy that I left my snow shoes at home. Yet for half an hour or an hour, I really missed them when I sometimes sank in deeper than my knees.
But it was all well manageable and I regained so …

A stunning winter alpine landscape unfolds under a brilliant blue sky, where the sun shines brightly, casting a radiant glow over the snow-covered slopes. The pristine white snow blankets the undulating terrain, creating a breathtaking contrast with the deep blue of the sky. The snow's surface is smooth and untouched, save for a few tracks left by adventurous hikers or skiers.

Scattered across the slope are clusters of evergreen trees, their branches heavy with snow, adding texture and depth t…

A moment of joy and adventure is captured in this vibrant winter scene. A hiker stands atop a snow-covered mountain slope, their face lit up with a warm smile as they take a selfie. Dressed in outdoor gear, including a bright green beanie, blue jacket, and a backpack equipped with a hydration pack, the hiker exudes a sense of preparedness and enthusiasm for the journey.

The backdrop is a stunning alpine landscape, where patches of snow cling to the rugged terrain. A cluster of evergreen trees,…

Prophet Royal Robertson outside his home (from the documentary Make by Scott Ogden and Malcolm Hearn[1])

In this extract from the film Celestial Knowledge Credo Mutwa speaks about aliens or greys beings known as Mantindane in Africa.

Stories of alien sightings and landings of mysterious aircraft have emerged from Iino as far back as the 1970s. Tsugio Kinoshita, a researcher of unidentified flying objects, said he first saw such an UFO in 1972 at the age of 25.

Kinoshita was hiking a mountain in Fukushima prefecture with four friends when suddenly a saucer-like shape appeared in front of them. “This thing stuck out in front of me. Starting and stopping in the blue sky. Then all of a sudden, it was gone,” he told VICE World …

Selected a #hiking route for tomorrow.
Just reminded myself to check the avalanche status... Selected another route...
Maybe overcautios - but my route would go over a larger alpine meadow. Even though I'd go via a south flank that is mentioned with less risk - when I'm going alone, I prefer zero risk.

The forest floor is a lush carpet of moss, ferns, and fallen leaves, adding texture and depth to the scene. The trail itself is a mix of earth and sc…

In the background, a group of leafless trees stands tall, their bare branches reaching into the misty sky. The fog envelops the trees, softening their outlines and creating an ethereal, almost dreamlike atmosphere. The …

Hello Stranger?
I took this photo recently on a hike on one of my local hills when I turned around and saw a stranger walking there.
I hardly ever have people in my photos, because I don't WANT people there. But this scene was so different.
The fog was just thick enough to see the person, yet I didn't feel like the person was "near". It all just felt so distant.
#hiking

A lone hiker ventures through a mystical winter landscape, where bare, gnarled trees stand like ancient sentinels in a veil of soft, drifting fog. The muted gray sky blends seamlessly with the mist, casting an ethereal glow over the frost-kissed meadow. Delicate snowflakes dust the ground, adding a quiet stillness to the scene. The skeletal branches of the towering trees create intricate silhouettes, their twisted forms adding a touch of wild beauty to the serene yet slightly mysterious atmosph…

Just a little one and a half hour walk nearby before it was supposed to be raining (and rugby starts).
It was a nice walk and good to be out. Strangely, my old GPS device refused to get a location despite having lots of satellites. Just 10min before coming back (after a couple of restarts and taking the batteries out and back in) it worked.
Fortunately, I only had it with me to test if my heart rate monitor also connects to it.

A serene and inviting rural scene unfolds in this image, capturing the tranquil beauty of a forest trail. The foreground features a well-maintained gravel path, gently winding its way through the landscape. The path is bordered by a rustic wooden fence on the left, adding a touch of charm and guiding the viewer's eye deeper into the scene.
