Even after a U.S. bombing raid last June and more than five weeks of attacks on Iran since February,
one suspected nuclear site remains untouched.
Experts say the underground facility, known as #Pickaxe #Mountain, is buried so deep that it may lie beyond the reach of America’s most powerful bunker-buster bo…

Trump Is Urged to Act on Iranian Site Feared Impervious to Airstrikes
Little is known about Pickaxe Mountain, but some experts say it illustrates the impossibility of relying on force alone to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear bomb.

From a recent hike that I haven't yet blogged about - but I thought I'd just like to share it already with you.
The start of the hike wasn't in the snow but on top, there was still a good winter feeling.
Well, I hope you like it. Maybe it was the last winter shooting this season for me ...

The world’s mountains are warming faster than anyone expected #Mountains

The world’s mountains are warming faster than anyone expected
Mountain regions around the world are heating up faster than the lands below them, triggering dramatic shifts in snow, rain, and water supply that could affect over a billion people. A major global review finds that rising temperatures are turning snowfall into rain, shrinking glaciers, and making mountain weather more extreme and unpredictable. These changes threaten water sources for huge populations, including those in China and India, while also increasing risks of floods, ecosystem collaps…

Hoher Ifen (2023)
One of the most unique and geologically interesting and layered mountains in the Northern Alps, including the extremely karst Gottesacker (aka God's Acre, aka Cemetery) plateau with deep caves... one of the areas I'm hoping to explore further this year...

Here's my #mountainMonday from the weekend. It's been a nice hike up there.
I almost didn't make it out but finally went to the mountains.
By the time I came there I was really happy that several peoplpe went this trail before. Otherwise ... I'm not sure if I would have gone there without snowshoes to be honest.
Next time, I might really bring snowshoes. …

A picturesque winter scene unfolds in this serene mountain setting. A quaint wooden cabin, with its white walls and rustic charm, sits nestled on a snow-covered slope. The cabin is surrounded by a peaceful blanket of snow, with patches of grass peeking through in places, hinting at the transition between seasons. Tall evergreen trees frame the cabin, their branches heavy with snow, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The trees create a natural border, enhancing the sense of seclusion and tranqui…

My #silentSunday is from last week. Maybe I'll also add a blog post later.
Anyways - enjoy some snow for which I went to the mountains for you :)
Enjoy!

A breathtaking winter landscape unfolds in this image, capturing the pristine beauty of a snowy mountain slope. The slope, blanketed in a thick layer of untouched snow, glistens under the bright sunlight. The sun, positioned high in the clear blue sky, casts a radiant glow, creating a dazzling effect on the snow's surface. In the background, a cluster of tall evergreen trees stands majestically, their dark green foliage providing a striking contrast to the white snow. The trees, partially dust…

My #silentsunday.. I only had a chat with two guys at the summit and one guy a bit below.
Besides that... 4-5h silence. If we don't count the minutes I was following the activities of a woodpecker a couple of meters away from me 😊
It took me really efforts to get out. But - as usual - it was worth it.

A moment of joy and adventure is captured in this winter forest scene. A hiker stands on a snow-dusted trail, surrounded by tall evergreen trees and patches of snow. The hiker is dressed in outdoor gear, including a gray jacket and a blue hydration pack, ready for a day of exploration. The background features a mix of snow-covered ground and green foliage, creating a beautiful contrast of colors and textures.

Photo of the imposing north face of a large pyramidal mountain peak, still mostly snow covered even down into the valley. The late afternoon sun is faintly highlighting some of the cracks and ridges in the snow. The silhouettes of some spruces in the foreground. Overcast gray wintry sky.

Uhh #mountainMonday again? Okay, this is a view from one of my recent walks.
As usual it was just nice to escape the fog in the valley. It's always the same - when you're below or in the clouds for a couple of days ... it's all just grey and dimm.
And by the minute when I break through into the sunshine, I immediately feel the impact to my mood.

A moody, monochrome dreamscape unfolds where jagged mountain peaks pierce a sea of soft, undulating fog. The rugged silhouettes of the high ridges stand stark against the muted sky, their slopes streaked with patches of snow that hint at lingering winter’s touch. Below, the mist swirls gently, parting just enough to reveal glimpses of dense evergreen forests clinging to the lower hills, their dark forms adding depth to the ethereal scene. A lone bird soars effortlessly between the peaks, its wi…

Hey friends of the #mountains - I almost didn't make it away from my couch today morning. But as you can see, I did!
I spent a couple of hours hiking into the snow. During the ascent I was happy that I left my snow shoes at home. Yet for half an hour or an hour, I really missed them when I sometimes sank in deeper than my knees.
But it was all well manageable and I regained so …

Scattered across the slope are clusters of evergreen trees, their branches heavy with snow, adding texture and depth t…
