Good evening! Just a daily mountain photo for you ;-) I took it on my hike last weekend.
At this point I thought that it might have been beneficial if I would also have brought gaiters, then I would have walked a bit more into the snow.
But it was still a great day.
the #video of the hike is here:

This image showcases a stunning winter landscape under a clear blue sky. The sun shines brightly, casting a warm glow over the snow-covered terrain. In the foreground, a blanket of pristine white snow covers the ground, with footprints marking a path through the winter wonderland.

Evergreen trees, their branches heavy with snow, frame the scene and add a touch of green to the otherwise monochromatic landscape. The trees lead the eye toward a breathtaking view of a vast valley and a serene lake…

Claude Sonnet 4 describes the image as: "This image appears to be from the British science fiction television series "Blake's 7," which aired from 1978 to 1981. The scene shows three characters in what appears to be an outdoor, rocky terrain setting with hills or mountains visible in the background. The lighting and film quality suggest this is from the late 1970s/early 1980s television production era.

The characters are wearing practical, somewhat utilitarian clothing typical of the show's ae…

Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, has given his government’s blessing to an oil pipeline last week
that would cross Alberta and British Columbia and terminate at the Pacific.
But amid fierce debate over the political, environmental and economic implications of the project,
experts warn that the multibillion-dollar project faces immense – and poorly understood – geological hazards.

This photo is from a recent walk near #Murnau . I also blogged about it here:

A tranquil winter landscape unfolds under a soft, pale blue sky, where a gentle blanket of snow transforms the scene into a serene wonderland. The undulating terrain is crisscrossed by a winding, snow-dusted road, guiding the eye through the quiet beauty of the season. On either side, skeletal trees stand tall, their bare branches dusted with frost, while dense clusters of evergreens add touches of deep green to the otherwise monochrome palette.

A frozen meadow stretches out, its surface glist…

Communities have changed how resistance is conducted
— away from the myth of the solitary activist hero
and toward
shared capacity.
As Grace Lee Boggs taught us,
“Movements are born of critical connections rather than critical mass.”
Political exhaustion took on new meaning.
It was no longer treated as a personal struggle, but as shared terrain
— produced by oppressive systems and requiring collective response.
The question shifted from…

'Pfade und Wege' / 'paths and ways' (? Or trails 🤔) #FotoVorschlag
Yes, that's a topic for me again 😉
This is from a trail that I did a couple of times already in different seasons. And this sections just offers such a cool view to the south.
The trail itself varies quite a bit in all terms - which I totally like. Well - enjoy!

A scenic hiking trail winds its way through a rugged, mountainous landscape, inviting adventurers to explore its natural beauty. The trail, composed of gravel and dirt, cuts a clear path through the terrain, bordered by dry grass and patches of green shrubs. The ground is uneven, with scattered rocks and roots adding texture and a sense of adventure to the journey.

On either side of the trail, the landscape is dotted with a mix of evergreen trees and leafless shrubs, their branches reaching ou…

Once upon a time there were three brothers who were knights
in a certain kingdom. And, there was a Princess in a neighboring kingdom
who was of marriageable age. Well, one day, in full armour, their horses,
and their page, the three brothers set off to see if one of them could
win her hand. The road was long and there were many obstacles along the
way, robbers to be overcome, hard terrain to cross. As they coped with
each obstacle they became more and more d…

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.

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,…
