Alpstein
(To me, one of the most stunning and interesting mountain ranges, the tectonic folds here having created the most incredible forms, formations and stunning valleys in between...)
#MountainMonday #LandscapePhotography

B&W photo of a mountain peak exhibiting intensely folded layers of rock and resulting curved forms, cliffs and ridges over multiple levels. Forested slopes running halfway up from the valley, snowfields higher up near the bare rocky peak. Sunny day with semi-overcast sky.

For today's #MountainMonday I want to share this view again that we had when we were hiking through this beautiful forest.
More about it here:

A serene and enchanting forest scene unfolds in this image, capturing the magic of a sunlit trail. The path, winding through a dense forest of tall trees, is bathed in dappled sunlight that filters through the canopy above. The light creates a mesmerizing play of shadows and highlights, illuminating the vibrant green foliage and the forest floor. The forest floor is a lush carpet of moss, ferns, and fallen leaves, adding texture and depth to the scene. The trail itself is a mix of earth and sc…

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...
#MountainMonday

Wide-format B&W photo of a sloped mountain massif in the distance and a large rocky plateau in front, transitioning into forests further down the valley. The edge of a closed mountain ridge in the bottom-left corner.

For #MountainMonday I share a #photo from a hike a while ago. It was one of those situations: I didn't expect a good shot - but after all, I like this one pretty much

Behold, The Imposing Frieder (2053m).
(Picture from yesterday, confirming that spring is not quite evenly distributed just yet...)
#MountainMonday #LandscapePhotography #Alps

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.

For #MountainMonday I share this view from a recent hike.
The 300mm zoom lens zoomed me into this area. It would be a blast to walk there. Yet this is a protection zone that noone should enter in winter to give wildlife some peace.
Well, I was happy to see that scene with the soft snow ... just beautiful (to me at least)

A breathtaking winter landscape unfolds in this image, capturing the serene beauty of a snow-covered hillside. The scene is dominated by undulating waves of pristine snow, their smooth curves creating a sense of rhythm and movement across the landscape. The untouched snow glistens under the soft light, adding a sense of purity and tranquility. Scattered across the hillside are clusters of evergreen trees, their branches heavy with snow. The trees add texture and depth to the scene, their dark …

For #monochromeMonday and #mountainmonday I chose this one!
I took this photo on a snow shoe tour a while ago. That day, I didn't even want to go that far, but it went all well and the views were just beautiful and the whole surrounding was just pure silence.

A striking black-and-white winter landscape unfolds in this image, capturing the serene beauty of a snow-covered slope. The scene is dominated by undulating waves of pristine snow, their smooth curves creating a sense of rhythm and movement across the landscape. The untouched snow glistens under the soft light, adding a sense of purity and tranquility. Scattered across the slope are a series of thin poles, standing upright and casting delicate shadows on the snow. The poles add a geometric con…

En Route To Fellaria
(This is just a tiny fragment, but it was one of the most memorable days and places I had a chance to visit in 2025... Surreal not just because of the many colors and textures at this time of year [late September], but also the vastness and traces of processes so much larger & older than life...)
#MountainMonday

Wide-format photo of a high alpine landscape with dried orange grasses (picture taken on a sunny day in early October), shrubs, boulders and patches of small trees. In the medium distance is a large water reservoir with low water level of milky gray water. Steep grassy & rocky slopes and erosion gullies in the background. No visible sky.

In The Lechtal Alps (2024)
Previously (same valley):
#MountainMonday

B&W photo of a view across a beautiful alpine valley and the semi-forested slopes and rocky peaks on the other side of the valley, the higher up parts slightly sprinkled with fresh snow. A small creek and waterfall coming down through one of the gullies. Cloudy, wintry sky.
