Crossing over, near Rossgundscharte.
(Picture from June 2025. Ahead lies the upper end of Rappenalptal, Germany's southernmost valley, and the Lechtal Alps in Tyrol further in the distance)
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography

Black and white wide-format view of a narrow footpath near a mountain pass, going past a steep craggy cliff, before dropping a few hundred meters down (out of view). Far views into the mountains on the opposite side of the valley and beyond. An ancient gigantic side moraine on the opposite side of the valley... Semi cloudy sky.

Golden Hour Pastoral
(two minutes after sunrise)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

A landscape of rolling hills with flowery meadows, hedges and forest in the background during sunrise. The sun is just above the horizon on the right , bathing everything in yellow/orange golden light. Dew drops on the blades of grass and flowers in the foreground. Fog banks further toward the back. The silhouette of a mountain in the background in front of the peach colored clear sky.

Frozen silence.
(Amazing atmosphere in this cold blue-purple light & halo near sunset and a crispy -11℃ [12℉] temperature... The only sounds were from the biting wind and the crunch of our steps on frozen ground)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

An island of heavily frost-encrusted trees near the edge of a forest with rolling hills of pasture in the foreground. Cold blue-purple light near sunset. There's a faint pinkish glow/halo in the overcast sky around the main group of trees. The entire scene is in pastel-like colors...

Toblinger Knoten / Torre di Toblin
(October 2024)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

View a large rock tower behind another lower mountain peak near a pass with a small chapel (good for appreciating the scale). The mountain nearest to the pass has visible tunnel openings at its base above the talus fields. These are remnants of the frontline from world war I. Massive cumulus clouds are forming in the background, above them clear blue sky. The entire scene is bathed in warm late afternoon light of October. All the grass patches have turned into a rich coffee brown.

Bergrücken
(From the same October morning as the previous image...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

A long ridge line leading up to snowy peaks (~3000 meters), getting increasingly rugged and jagged at higher elevations. Beautiful dense alpine autumn forest on the slopes in the foreground with some bright yellow larches dotted here and there, emphasized by the golden morning sun. Other large mountains in the background. Mostly clear sky with some cirrus.

Early morning in Ötztal
(A sleepy and peaceful Sunday morning in October 2025, the view south-west over Längenfeld towards Hoher Kogel, 3296m)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

Wide-format B&W photo of a large valley surrounded by majestic mountains with some of their peaks dusted in snow, large hanging side valleys between the mountains. The edge of a small village with its church tower visible in the bottom left corner. A group of larches standing even closer in the foreground to the right. Most of the valley is still in deep shade, only the higher up parts are already in bright sunlight. Contrails crisscross an otherwise clear sky, some of them already partially di…

Evening walk. Each (end of) day this past week had such amazing light/mood... it's good to get out!
#EveningWalk #SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

Wideformat view of the silhouette of a tree in an empty field with forest further back and large mountains in the far background. Pink/purple/orange sky and light. Cloudy sky. Some faint fog starting to form just above the ground.

The last light of 2025....
(...is giving me big hopes for 2026, against all odds!)
#LandscapePhotography #Sunset #Alps

The silhouette of a group of spruce trees against an intensely golden sky above the northern Alps in the background. The sun itself is partially visible through the trees, light shafts through the low haze.

Leaving civilization...
(October 2025)
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

The last few meters of a farming path leading through a group of trees and bushes, before it ends in a high alpine terrain with snow capped mountains in the background. All the vegetation is in autumn colors, rich yellows and browns. Clear, gray sky.

Evening walk. Beautiful Wetterstein. Exceptionally clear air & light tonight... 🤩
#EveningWalk #LandscapePhotography #Photography

Wide-format photo of the snow covered Wetterstein massif (incl. Zugspitze) seen from a distance from the foothills of the northern Alps. Two wind farms with 10 wind wheels in total in the forests at medium distance. Fields bathed in the warm spring evening light in the foreground. Clear blue/purple sky.

Morning walk with a mood befitting the end of the year...
#MorningWalk #MonochromeMonday #LandscapePhotography

B&W photo of a moody, foggy and flat winter landscape with fields and frozen plants/trees covered in hoarfrost. On the right edge of the image is a small, desolate wooden shed with moss covered roof standing by a little creek. Layers of isolated trees and forest disappearing into the fog in the background.

(Also, it's the last #SilentSunday of this year, hope you enjoyed my selection of 52 images... Analog & digital prints will be available soon!)
#LandscapePhotography

B&W photo of a majestic multi-layered mountain massif with large rock formations shrouded in thick white clouds forming all around it. A large deep canyon is running up towards the tallest rock towers on the left. Some of the steep lower slopes on the right are covered in dense forest.

#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Alps

Wide-format photo of a high alpine landscape dusted in a thin layer of snow, amplifying the rich textures and last remaining bits of color. A large and deep erosion chute is curving up steeply towards the ridge line and large rock peaks higher up. Large vertical rock faces on the right hand side. Gray sky completely filled with snow clouds.

Morning Glory
(Somewhere in southern Bavaria, whilst on a beautiful, but freezing early morning photo safari two years ago...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

Wide-format view of a group of trees (incl. some large old oaks) standing in a hilly landscape of barren, snowy fields, completely immersed in dense frozen fog which is glowing in pale orange from the rising sun. In the distance the edge of a forest is faintly visible. The snow in the foreground has a purplish tint...

Do(n't) look down...
(View down into Oytal from a precarious section of the ridge path near Laufbacher Eck & Schneck, late October 2021)
#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.

In The Garden Of Eden.
(From one of my favorite hikes last year, October 2025... a place of absolute solitude, harmony, peace and positive vibes, a feast for the eyes)
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography

The upper part of a high alpine glacial valley in the most beautiful autumn colors with golden yellow grasses, small bushes with orange leaves, red patches of heather and blueberries, and small swiss pines dotted here and there. A small waterfall emerges between some of the rock cliffs. The snow capped peaks of large mountain in the hazy background. Clear blue sky with a single small white cloud

A Golden Morning At Piz Beverin.
(Luckily, the dense fog was just starting to lift when we arrived, revealing the silent spectacle beyond and the majestic peak...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

Cinematic wide-format view of a wintry snow covered mountain massif with its highest peak (Piz Beverin, 2998m) on the right side. The mountain is illuminated by golden morning light, some of the rocks glowing bright orange. In front are still partially dense low hanging clouds (formerly fog banks), but dispersing quickly and some of them with a faint pink tone. Below and further in the front, the silhouette of dense forest, still completely in deep shade. Bright blue sky.

Höllental ❤️
(Named after the hellish canyon section at the bottom of this most amazing valley, a section with tunnels and waterfalls which made the valley impassible during winter months (even still now) and the only way in & out is via a very narrow path along the rocks higher up...)
#FootpathFriday

Square format high contrast B&W photo of a large and very deep high alpine valley, looking down from a mountain pass around 800 meters above the valley floor. A small footpath with switchbacks through some forest is visible near the bottom. The opposite side of the valley is formed by a single massive rock face with jagged peaks & ridge line...

(From tonight's evening walk in the local woods...)
#SilentSunday #MonochromeMonday #LandscapePhotography

B&W photo of a small dark footpath in the dense forest leading into the distance. The ground is frozen and snowfree, but all the tree branches are covered in a layer of frost, as if dipped in thick white paint.

Hoher Peißenberg (September 2024)
(From my series In The Lands Of Via Claudia Augusta, the ancient and most important Roman road through the Alps which connected the Po Valley in the south with Augsburg and the Danube as northern terminus)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

B&W wide-format photo of a hilly landscape in layers of fog and a larger mountain rising up behind a major fog layer in the distance. Only its built-up summit part (with churches, TV tower and other buildings) is visible. Layers of forest and fields in the lower foothills in the foreground.

#ThrowbackThursday #LandscapePhotography #BlackAndWhite …

Wide-format B&W photo of a classic Dolomites landscape with steep couloir (still with some snow) going up between massive rock towers & needles, their tops slighly obscured by a layer of thick moody gray clouds.

Alpenglühen in the Ammergau Alps
(Hochplatte, Branderschrofen, February 2024)
#WildWednesday #LandscapePhotography #Alps

A long snowy mountain ridge (Hochplatte) and nearby peaks in the Ammergau Alps illuminated by the setting sun, glowing bright red/orange. The summit cross on the peak on the right (Branderschrofen) is glistening brightly. It's a freezing winter day and the steep lower slopes (partially forested) in the foreground are already in the shade (deep blueish light), only some cliffs are still reflecting the sun. Uniform gray clear sky.

Reflective pause in Cirque de Troumouse, Pyrenees (just too grand to photograph)...
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

A small lake/pond in a high alpine landscape of only grasses and talus fields visible. The shallow water in the lake is very dark and reflecting some of the nearby mountain peaks of the surrounding 270 degree cirque. The framing of the image is such that only the reflection of the peaks and some of the clouds are visible.

The Land of Via Claudia Augusta
(Pre-sunset light on New Year's eve, overlooking a small part of the northern Alps, a view which I imagine was already enjoyed by the Romans who had built a settlement on this hill in 13AD...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

Wide-format photo of a beautiful snowy winter landscape of the foothills and peaks of the northern Alps near Füssen. The freezing temperatures and the setting sun is making the hazy sky glow orange/pink with cold blueish light in the lower region in the foreground. Partially snow-covered forest and fields with small wooden huts.
