#nature #naturephotography #deer
A deer minding its own business.

Photo of either a young mule deer or white tailed deer making its way slowly up a hillside in bright sunlight. I only noticed it right in front of me when it started to walk up the hill. Its tan-brown coat blends well into the brushy background. May 2026.

Metamorph
(Metamorphic rock in the former bed of the Gepatschferner glacier in the Weißkamm of the Alps. Maybe some form of paragneiss with hematite or oxidized iron compounds?)

Close-up of an intensely rust colored metamorphic rock showing strong signs of folding activity. Small patches of lichen and moss overgrowth.

Sunrise In A Scale-free Landscape (2026)
(For reference, the visible valley section is ~6km long... Alt text for more info)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

View down into a large, almost featureless alpine post-glacial valley without any vegetation other than grasses. The first sun of the day is illuminating some of the large slopes on the right hand side. The much steeper, almost vertical rocky cliffs on the left are still in the blueish shade, waterfalls running down every kilometer or so. The bottom of the valley is a deep and narrow canyon. The view is from around a 1000 meters above, covering an approx. 6km stretch of the valley. The canyon r…

A Dickcissel (who decided that was a good name for a bird?) and a Blue Grosbeak.

Photo of a bird perched at the top of a tree. This is a Dickcissel, (Spiza americana), a small seed-eating migratory bird in the family Cardinalidae. It breeds on the prairie grasslands of the Midwestern United States and winters in Central America, northern Colombia, and northern Venezuela. It has a yellow breast and belly, and a distinctive black blotch on its throat. The sky is bright blue behind it. June 2026.

Photo of a bird perched on a rusted pipe. It is a Blue Grosbeak, seen from behind its back. (Passerina caerulea) is a medium-sized North American passerine bird in the cardinal family Cardinalidae. It is mainly migratory, wintering in Central America and breeding in northern Mexico and the southern United States. Its body and head are bright blue, the wings and tail are dark brown and tan. Its body has a short beak with a bit of a hook at its tip. The background is out of focus green grass. Ju…

The Mountains Flowed Before Him (2026)
(Given a large enough time scale, these mountains would be almost like waves...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

B&W photo of a high alpine landscape with intense folds and strata in the rocks. Small meadows and groups of Swiss pine trees on the more shallow sections, basking in the sun. A large cumulus cloud is creating an almost plain background.

Ein Amsel-Ästling. Ästlinge haben das Nest bereits freiwillig verlassen. Sie sind gut befiedert, können stehen, aber noch nicht richtig fliegen. In dieser wichtigen Entwicklungsphase üben sie das Fliegen und die selbstständige Nahrungssuche.

A Large Marble #butterfly. May 2026

Closeup photo of a Large Marble butterfly, possibly Euchloe ausonides, perched on a flower having some lunch. The butterfly is mainly white, with an abstract pattern of green and black blotches on the underside of one wing, and black stippling on the topside of the other wing, giving it a “marbeled” appearance, and hence its name. Its proboscis is poking into a small pink flower. There are green leaves and grey twigs immediately surrounding it, with blurred leaves in the background. It is about…

Spring, Life.
(Yesterday, as seen from one of my fave spots on the banks of the river Lech...)
#SilentSunday #NaturePhotography #Photography

Telescopic view of a section of lush and dense mixed forest with trees in various stages of springing back to life: Some in full bloom, some with fresh bright green leaves, others still only bare with old dried leaves from last year glowing in the afternoon sun. A group of conifers in the middle. All in all, a cornucopia of colors and textures, almost an impressionistic, abstract image.

River bend (2026)
This stretch of the river Lech with its many swampy banks and bends always reminds me of North American wilderness...
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

Wideformat photo of a river bend surrounded by lush forests on a bright sunny and hazy day. The left river bank on the inside of the bend is a wide stretch of wetland with swampy reeds and bushes, then transitioning to forest. Various water birds. Some blurry reflections of trees on the water surface.
