First/last light, same day. Golden larches.
(From a hike on the last day of our recent roadtrip. The view in the second image is looking back at Hanauer Hütte, in front of Schneekarlespitze and (clipped) Dremelspitze)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

(Mostly) yellow larch trees standing in dense patches of lowgrowth mountain pines, on steep mountain slopes in the morning fog. A vague ridge line in the background. Uniform gray sky.

Multi-layered mountain landscape, in terms of distance, elevation and light. A mountain hut (Hanauer Hütte) is standing on the precipice of a large rock wall, the cables of its supply cable car leading up to it from the valley. Behind it, the ridge line of Schneekarlespitze and the north face of Dremelspitze in the haze. Most of the lower valley parts are already in deep shade from the surrounding peaks. Only a band of yellow/orange larches standing in the penumbra are still catching the beauti…

Almost reached the top!
(A wonderfully wild path along the cliff edge and glorious evening light on the way to Teufelstättkopf, with a view of the Wetterstein massif and Zugspitze in the distance...)
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography

High contrast black and white photo of a narrow path along the edge of a rocky cliff falling off vertically less than a meter away on the right. Steep slopes with dwarf mountain pines on the left handside, some of the trees in the foreground catching the evening sun. Layers of tall mountains in the distance (Zugspitze/Wetterstein in the far back)

Ridges are my thing, 360 views...
(Ammergauer Alps, November 2024)
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #Alps

First person video, walking on a narrow path along a ridge, looking down very steep slopes on either side, covered in dried grass and forests, rocky cliffs. Views as far as the eye can see. Late afternoon sun with beautiful warm light. Serene clear sky.

How many more memorials to remember and warn of the horrors of war? Lessons learned, when? Ever? The same patterns repeating, over and over...
(This memorial is to remember the Italo/Austrian "White War", part of the WW1 frontline in the Dolomites at 2300m...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

An obelisk war memorial standing on the precipice of a small grassy plateau in a high alpine setting, a deep valley immediately behind it and layers of craggy mountain ridges behind. It's close to sunset and only some of the peaks are illuminated by the sun. Layers of cloud/fog forming.

7AM, out and about on a stunning rainy morning walk between layers of fog and clouds... absolute silence...
#MorningWalk #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

Black and white photo of a pre-alpine landscape of rolling hills intersected by layers of dense fog

Black and white photo looking into the Lech valley near Reutte (in the distance), from above layers of fog and low hanging clouds. Silhouettes of forest and mountains fading into the gray background.

Black and white photo of the silhouette of a hill top surrounded by dense layers of fog.

Black and white photo of the edge of a forest and a mountain meadow with fog moving up the hill, quickly enshrouding trees and everything else

Alone into the rocks: Tunnel walk and traces of glacial plucking at 2200m
(And yes, the colors really were that stunning...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

View of a small tunnel entrance (2-3 meters wide) into a glacially eroded colorful rock face consisting of slightly curved strata of different minerals and colors ranging from blueish-green grays to rusty orange. The higher up sections show signs of glacial plucking and trigger the imagination how that place must have looked filled with ice... A tall mountain peak in the far back. Clear, deep blue sky.

On the way to Gepatschferner, September 2025... How I miss this place!
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

A small path leading through a high alpine tundra landscape, with colorful early autumn vegetation and rocks ranging in color from red/orange, dark purples and cold grays (in the background). Only a handful of small trees (larches) scattered here and there. Clear blue sky with some cloud shadows.

From yesterday's early morning walk...
#LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #MorningWalk

Photo of lake in a mixed autumnal forest. A thin layer of fog is floating in the shade near the edge of the lake, a small wooden hunter's cabin nearby. Most of the trees are already bare/leafless. Only a single tree with bright yellow leaves in the background.

Not quite Canadian Shield, but close... and at much higher elevation (~2300m)
(Another impression from the same region from yesterday's pictures, see description there...)
#MountainMonday #LandscapePhotography

A tundra-like scene of (a section of) some enormous sloped boulders, smoothed and scraped off by thousands of years of glacial movement, now slowly overgrown by beautiful dry, orange grasses and small trees (larches), which are also slowly taking on their autumn colors. The rocks have a pinkish brown color with yellow/green lichens growing in some regions. The background is a uniform green-gray color, i.e. the color of the glacier lake with its milky water and some very, very faint reflections.

Beautiful colors a week ago, yesterday everything was already white up there... 😍
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #Alps

Short video panorama from a narrow path in a high alpine glacial valley. The retracted glacier (Gepatschferner) is temporary visible in the background.

Approaching the great wall
(From a hike up a beautiful side valley in the Karwendel, September 2023)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

A mixed group of trees in early autumn colors of different shades of yellows and greens in a wide post-glacial alpine valley with steep slopes on either side. In the background the main ridge of the Karwendel, a massive wall of rock faces several kilometers in length. Bright hazy day with pale blue/gray sky.

Just beam me back there again... Right now, exactly two weeks ago. Alone in the valley, on my way back to civilization. Alpenglow forming at the peaks opposite...😍
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography

360 video panning of a narrow, rocky footpath (partially secured with steel ropes) around 100 meters above a narrow canyon, higher up opening into a vast high alpine valley...

Navigating the herd.
(There were 170 highland cattle, sometimes just a few inches away... quite a few blocking the path with their calves and feeling agitated so we had to navigate/bypass through the talus fields higher up, giving these beauties more space...)
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography

A path is leading into the distance in a peaceful grassy alpine valley. Highland cattle with large twisted horns are grazing and standing near and on the path. The steep slopes on the left are covered in forest, only the top parts still catching the evening sun. Most of the valley is already in shade. Mountain peaks and blue sky in the back.

King Ortler (3905m)
No picture can do it justice... For scale, note the mountain hut (Berglhütte, at 2188m) in the bottom-left corner...
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

View of the Ortler mountain with its glaciated peak and prominent nortwest ridge leading down deep into the valley. A tiny speck — actually the 2-storey mountain hut (Berglhütte) — is near the (visible) bottom of that ridge, just above the tree line. Another glacier (Niederer Ortlerferner) was coming down in the valley in front of the ridge, but by now stops much further up, its tongue barely visible in the shade... Deep blue, clear sky.

Taking The Red Carpet Path.
(Not often that I find myself in a place exuding such intense natural positive/friendly energy [and beautiful scents]...)
#MountainMonday #LandscapePhotography

A small rocky path leading through an open alpine landscape with dense low-growth vegetation (mainly dried heather, blueberry bushes with red leaves). Further on, the path leads through a small section of young Swiss pine forest, a snowcapped mountain peak in the distance. Sunny day with clear blue sky.

A quiet place for reflection (April 2025)
#LandscapePhotography #Alps #Mountains #Lake

View across a mountain lake with a completely still mirror-like surface reflecting the mountains opposite, their rock faces illuminated by the warm orange evening sun. Small patches of snow near the summits. Semi-overcast sky.
