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...

As I said previously, I do, do ❤️ ridges... This was six days ago, on almost the last day of autumn (meanwhile it's all white)...
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #Hiking

First person video of me walking a narrow path along a ridge with steep drops on either side, but one side more open, providing vast views over the surrounding landscape (and esp. the foothills north of the Ammergau Alps). The beautiful warm autumn afternoon sun makes the dried grasses appear almost golden... Bright blue sky

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.

Early morning view from the supermarket carpark...
(Imst, October 2025)
#LandscapePhotography #Alps #Mountains

A mountain peak in rusty red/brown colors from the early morning alpen glow (and the general impact of October) against a pale beige sky and behind layers of dark gray clouds...

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.

Fave hike of 2025... Ahh memories... Only 5 weeks ago, but already feels like a lifetime ago...
#WildWednesday #LandscapePhotography #Alps

A beautiful river canyon in an alpine landscape is leading into the distance toward large barren mountains with snow capped peaks. Mixed forest (Swiss pines, larches, birches...) on the right side of the canyon, steep yellow/brown grassy slopes on the left. Hazy sky.

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)

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.

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.

No Fishing on this morning walk...
(From a beautiful and positively frozen Sunday AM in late 2022... I shared those images already back then, but hey...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

A small narrow pier fully covered in snow, in a completely frozen over lake in the woods. Snow covered branches reaching in from all sides, providing a nice framing. The cold bright light perfectly matches the peaceful frozen mood of this calm morning.

The golden glow of the early morning sun is breaking through the bare trees on a hill slope in a wintry beech forest. A dense patch of young trees, still with their dry rusty leaves on. They're almost fully snow covered near the ground, the sun just partially reaching them. Vanilla sky.

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.

So close, yet still so far...
(Standing roughly where the Hintereisferner glacier reached to in 1850. From here it's another 20 mins to the Hochjoch Hospiz at 2413m... where I was the only soul there that day, enjoying true edge of the world vibes. Wonderful!)
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography

A small path is leading through lush golden yellow/brown grassy slopes in an otherwise empty looking landscape towards an old 4-floor mountain hut at the horizon, the Hochjoch Hospiz (built 1927). Behind the hut a section of another larger mountain is visible. Semi-overcast pale 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.
