Zugspitze (2021)
(View of Germany's tallest peak, last glacier [remnants] and the absolutely grand Höllental below, state as of five years ago...)
#MountainMonday #MonochromeMonday

B&W portrait photo of a large alpine landscape with the Zugspitze peak (2962 m) and its glacier remnants below as central motif. The mountain drops off steeply (over the entire height of the image) into the valley below, talus fields giving way to fields of dwarf mountain pines and alpine meadows below. The valley bottom is not visible and obscured by some white limestone cliffs in the foreground, the view being from a very narrow pass between the rocks with steep drop offs directly ahead.

October 2015

Sunrise in Rocky Mountain National Park. Looking east from Trail Ridge Road, mountain ridges and trees in the foreground are in silhouette, but haze is scattering just enough light from the sun appearing on the right so that some detail can be made out if you can enlarge or zoom into the image. More ridges and mountains show through the haze, with orange clouds above the horizon, and nands of clouds rise up into the blue sky at the top. October 2015.

View of a mountain hut at the mouth of a high alpine glacial valley with steep rocky mountains on either side. The view shows the entire valley with the remaining glacier near the highest peak in the background and its outflow creek meandering through the valley. It's mid afternoon and the ridge on the right is casting harsh cold shadows. The hut and side buildings, on the other side of the valley, is still in the bright sun, surrounded by yellow/brown grasses among the bare scraped off rocks..…

Thick mist in the woods. Only a few outlines of trees are visible, with long trunks, ragged, with branches only on their upper half. If focusing, a pathway can be recognized a bit further downhill. In front are some bushes with lush dark green leaves and a tree trunk on the right.
In front, diagonally upwards is a hill with some bright orange-brownish and light green grasses, with a tree trunk and some dead wood in between. This is contrasted by the background with swathes of mist in between darker pale green trees on hills.
Dark green trees on hills and mountains with the sun shining from behind some clouds, that are covering part of the mountain and parts of the sky. In front is a dry meadow, going downhill.
View towards the north of Carinthia. The sky is full of clouds, with some bright white parts in between greyer areas. In front are hills covered by trees and a meadow on the middle hill. Further back is lower with some villages and forests. In the very back there's mountains again, in a bluish tint.

Content warning: plants, mild spoilers for After the Deluge by Chris Carlsson

I don’t think Chris understands that native plants on San Bruno Mountain are adapted to frequent fires, and fire actually gives natives a leg up on invasives here.
Maybe not if the fire is too big due to a legacy of fire suppression and existing buildup of invasives, but why would that be the case in the novel’s utopian future?

The office was abuzz with talk of the fire…
Kathy started the meeting. "Okay, we have our normal staff meeting, but obviously everyone is thinking about the big fire on San Bruno Mountain. Is there anyone here who needs a basic report?"

I wanted to post mountain photos more regularly again! So here's one trail from last year where I started really early to avoid the heat.
It was a hike that I did alone and met just like ... 2 or 3 people. Oh and I was glad to have a water filter with me!
I spotted a spring on my way up and - knowing that I'd come pack to it later - I didn't have to use my water sparingly.
Enjoy!

This image captures a serene and immersive forest scene, evoking a sense of tranquility, adventure, and untouched natural beauty. A narrow, winding dirt trail cuts through the dense greenery, inviting the viewer to imagine exploring the depths of the forest. The trail is flanked by lush, vibrant vegetation, including a variety of shrubs, bushes, and young evergreen trees, creating a rich and textured tapestry.
The forest floor is a mix of green moss, grasses, and patches of bare earth, adding d…

Fog Over Forggensee (2026)
(Stunning light & fog encounter on a recent early morning walk...)
#LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #Fog

A group of trees in some fields near the forest catching the first warm yellow morning light. The leaves of some trees are already turning orange. In mid-distance low hanging white clouds are floating as a thick dense layer above the lake (itself 99% invisible), their tops illuminated in soft peachy pink pastel light. The mountain peaks of the Ammergauer Alps visible above in the distance. Otherwise clear pale blue sky.

Great Horned Owl

Photo of a great horned owl, perched on a handler’s glove, on a pedestal. Injured when it fell out of a nest, suffers from cognitive issues. Despite rehab efforts by the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program, the bird, named Collin, is unable to fend for itself in the wild. He’s about 15 years old, and is an ambassador for the program in their fundraising outreach efforts.

Revisiting An Ancient Friend
(...aiming higher/further today, before the days are getting too short, possibly attempting to record a new addition for my #TimeFade project[1], but will decide on final route when I get near the glacier... This image is from October 2025.)

Beautiful, remote glacial high alpine landscape on a bright sunny day in autumn. The trees and meadows in the foreground are all in their best colors. Small water falls coming down on the right side. In the background, a majestic, still mostly glaciated mountain ridge of ~3500 meter peaks. Clear blue sky with a single small cloud.

According to Current, the channel used Open Source Storage, or OSS, for storing over 50TB of data
— but it suddenly lost access to its data earlier this year.
Nine PBS has been working with OSS and its predecessor since 2019 and intended to renew its contract on March 6 of this year.

View down into a beautiful side valley in the Alps from just above the treeline, the lower parts covered in dwarf mountain pines and dense spruce forests. Steep slopes on either side, some cliffs visible on the left. Two large mountain peaks are rising up almost vertically on the opposite side of the main valley ahead. Hazy day with clear pale blue sky.

A path leading into the distance through a stunningly colorful alpine landscape with glaciated peaks in the background. In foreground, a dense carpet of small bushes and grasses in intensely saturated autumn colors (reads/oranges/yellows). Rocks and small groups of larches and Swiss pines dotted here and there. A mountain creek meandering through the meadows in the large cirque in the back. Hazy pale blue sky with some wispy clouds forming.

Throwback to a month ago for #WaterfallWednesday... Three hours earlier we were ~800 meters higher up, just below the summit of that peak in the background and the near the beginning of this ravine...
With the next heatwave moving in this week, the great melting of these glaciers will accelerate again... 😢
Video version:

Portrait photo of a steep and narrow canyon carved by the outflow of a glacier higher up. The water is milky beige color, saturated with glacial flour. In the distance, higher up, is a mountain peak and a small section of the surrounding areas and meadows visible. Pale blue sky.

A small mountain creek surrounded by steep banks with trees and ferns, in glistening light and with thick mist forming directly above the water surface, the bright sun light scattering in it and forming small light shafts against the darker river bank on the left.

New 10x8" silver gelatin print. This one took a lot of refining, back and forth and test strips to achieve the right balance between brightness, contrast (esp. in the brighter parts of the clouds) and smooth mid-tone transitions. So even though this is a contact print from a digital negative, this was the first time in ages (i.e. decades) that I used some physical dodging to soften the horizon and emphasize the haze in the distance a tiny bit more...

Phone picture of a person holding a still wet silver gelatin print on a glass sheet. The print shows a high alpine glacial mountain landscape with cumulus clouds floating above.
