Entering the canyon
(Half an hour earlier we were sitting and basking in the sun at the top of those cliffs on the left...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

View of a mountain creek near entering a deep rocky canyon section. Lush alpine forest (mostly Swiss pines) and small cliffs on the right hand side, craggy larger cliffs and bushes on the left. A lot of the vegetation is in beautiful autumn colors. Clear blue sky.

Just returned from a wonderful 11km Friday afternoon walk along the boundary between the seasons...
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

View of a mountain landscape from above a small lake with green/blue water, surrounded by forest and meadows. Snow capped larger mountains in the background.
View across a still half-frozen lake towards the other side basking in warm afternoon light. The grasses and reeds are completely dry and golden. Some trees scattered and the forest edge in the background.
Cute close up of a narrow path in the afternoon sunlight with heather (in bloom) growing on both sides. An old tree stump semi-overgrown with moss.
Close up of some heather near the 50m drop off toward the lake in the background. Beautiful blue water surface.

Naming Things Is Hard
Big Tree™ (no understatement!) at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, 2019.
This beautiful individual is 1500 years old, but will it or its kind survive another 1500 years (or even just 150 years) of human presence?
#ThickTrunkThursday #NaturePhotography

Photo of the bottom few meters of a gigantic Redwood tree (the largest in the park) with a sign in front providing these impressive details: Big Tree HEIGHT 286ft 87.2m DIAMETER 23.7ft 7.2m CIRCUMFERENCE 74.5ft 22.7m ESTIMATED AGE 1500 years

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.

Golden glow
(It's a bit of a theme this week... the local woods keep delivering magic light :)
#EveningWalk #NaturePhotography #Forest

Wide-format photo of the almost setting sun shining through the trees in a dense & dark forest, creating a magic intense orange glow. The forest floor is still partially covered in snow...

Not quite groundhogs (for groundhog day), but cute hogs nonetheless...

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.

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.

Entering the wild canyon...
(May 2024, IIRC it was the same day @… happened to be there too [unknowingly to us]...)
#FootpathFriday #NaturePhotography

First person video of someone walking on a narrow path near a fast flowing mountain creek inside a deep canyon surrounded by steep cliffs. The water color is an intense milky light blue/cyan...

Meeting the sublime
(A brief moment when the heavens briefly opened first for light, then for epic rain showers... Above Kandersteg, 2019)
#LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

B&W photo of a mountain landscape in the Swiss Alps, with dramatic clouds forming and shafts of light reaching down into the deep valley. The silhouettes of trees in the foreground.

Ice fall
#WaterfallWednesday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #Glacier

Photo of a vast glacial valley and the mostly vertical section a large glacier with surrounding ice/snow covered mountains. The glacier tongue is almost visible near the bottom of the image, in the foreground. Some of the mountain peaks are catching the last golden light of the day.
