Exactly one hundred sixty days apart.
(This past Friday vs. early Feb, Raintal)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Phtography

A mountain hut in a peaceful alpine valley, surrounded by meadows with grazing cows, forest and steep rock faces rising up on the LHS. The pass at the end of the valley is visible in the distance. Sunny day with blue sky and some streaky wispy clouds.

The same mountain hut in mid winter. The valley is covered in ~50cm snow. The nearby trees and forest appear almost black. The pass at the end of the valley is the only place lit by the sun, most of valley is in the shade of the surrounding mountains. Clear day with blue sky and a few isolated clouds.

Me waiting for my wife today. We tried a hike today to check how well recovered her knee is. - All went very well. Except that it was a bit warm.
But the views were pretty nice.

A person is sitting on a wooden deck that overlooks a vast grassy field. Only their legs are visible. In the background, there is a large tree on the left side of the image. The sky above is a clear blue with fluffy white clouds scattered throughout. The scene evokes a sense of peace and tranquility, perfect for a summer day. The deck offers a serene spot to admire the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, with mountains visible in the distance.

No footpath to be seen here, but a short impression from near the goal of our morning hike today, back down before more mountain bikers, hikers and horseflies arrived, then followed by a good day's work until late...
Ps. Sound on!
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography

Short 20 second video panorama of a herd of young cows (each with bell) grazing in a beautiful alpine meadow, surrounded by large & steep mountains and forested slopes rising up nearby. Bright sunny day, slightly overcast sky.

A picturesque scene of a grassy hill with trees scattered across it, set against a backdrop of majestic mountains in the distance. The lush greenery of the landscape includes various types of conifer trees such as spruce, fir, pine, and larch. The sky above is a vibrant blue with fluffy white clouds adding to the serene atmosphere. The image captures the essence of a peaceful wilderness setting, with a diverse array of flora creating a harmonious natural environment. The overall composition evo…

Peace & solitude on the Kessel ridge, the rim of a large doline funnel in the Ammergau Alps.
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

Panoramic photo of a narrow rocky ridge line with steep beautiful green grassy slopes, mountain passes and forest in nearby valleys. A small lake at the bottom of the doline (RHS in the photo). The rocks have a beautiful light gray color, almost the same as the overcast, cloudy and misty sky, heavy with humidity (80%+).

#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

Photo of the three major summits in the Allgäu High Alps with another mountain pass (hiding another valley in between) in the foreground. Some part of the rocks and the pass are in sunlight. The pass is partially rocky with some grassy patches with low-growth mountain pines. The main summits are partially shrouded in moody gray clouds. The telescopic view and depth compression lends the scene and shapes an almost abstract character (intentionally!)...

#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #Video

Short 18second, 270° video panorama of a beautiful large & deep alpine valley from around 800m above. The ground drops off steeply directly next to the narrow path (already on a slope itself). The mountains on the other side are up to ~2700m above sea level and ~1600m above the valley floor with green & rocky slopes, forest in the lower sections. A small road is leading along the last houses towards the end of the valley (the border pass is briefly visible between 12-14 seconds). Semi-cloudy bl…

Solace! Spirit cleansing.
(Incredible light on our morning hike today. So very grateful for these experiences, especially these days... 🙏)
#LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #MorningWalk

Photo of a step mountain slopes covered in dense forest, with the fresh green colors of early summer. The extremely hazy blue light is nicely emphasizing each layer/slope. Talus fields higher up, the peaks out of view. In the bottom third, the forest is getting some direct sunlight and is reflecting in the completely still surface of a large mountain lake. The light and entire scene has the character of a classic landscape painting.

Once upon a time in Switzerland, heading into the vast land of (rapidly declining) ice, leading through a sea of colors... "Like walking through a painting" never felt more true than on that tour...

#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

View of a large glacial valley, with several glaciers, large seracs visible and major fully snow covered mountains (~4000m) along the entire horizon, creating an otherworldly feel. A small rocky path is leading higher up across a slowly overgrowing talus field, along the edge of the forest and covered beautiful yellow/brown grasses, blueberry plants with their leaves already turned intensely red (and still carrying yummy berries). Bright sunny day with clear blue sky. The other side of the vall…

(Not really, but that part of the Saalfelder Weg very much makes me feel like wanting to take off... Höhengefühle!)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

View of a narrow ridge path going around some rocks in the foreground and leading straight toward a steep drop off in the distance. The slopes are covered in dry yellow/brown grasses. Further back the peaks of the Allgäuer High Alps (e.g. Hochvogel on the RHS) and the Lechtal Alps in the far, far back... Blue hazy sky with a few small clouds.

#ThrowbackThursday meets #FootpathFriday
(Dolomites, late October 2024)
#LandscapePhotography

27 sec 360 degree camera pan near a small path in a majestic high alpine valley in the Dolomites in autumn 2024. One side (higher up parts) already start looking wintry, the opposite sides still in warm sunlight and the rocks are gray, yellow and peach colored. Big talus fields, some overgrown with dwarf mountain pines and larches in bright rusty orange.

Needing more paths in more lives to be as beautiful as this...
(This hike & experiences further up touched me like not many others have...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

A small hiking path leads through beautiful colored mountain meadows into the distance, high above the valley below. The peaks on other side of the valley have remnants of glacier tongues. Further down, green meadows and first generation larch forest growing, for the first time in thousands of years. A single small fluffy cloud in an otherwise clear blue, hazy sky.

Yesterday near Rossgundscharte, Allgäu High Alps
(Longest, most stunning & varied tour in a while, traversing Warmatsgundtal into Rappenalptal, Germany's southernmost valley — 21km, incl. 1450 hm grueling descent over loose gravel...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

A narrow path on a steep mountain slope is leading into the void/sky. Below and next to the path is a large tooth-like rock cliff (unnamed summit). In the background the grandiose peaks on the eastern side of the Rappenalptal with green steep slopes further down. Semi-cloudy blue sky.

My favorite blues and snow white sands near Crodon di San Candido (October 2024)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

A small, shallow high alpine lake with clear royal blue water surrounded by a talus field of white sands/pebbles, located on a high plateau with autumn colored grasses in front of the large mountain massif of Crodon di San Candido. A big fluffy cloud is nestled around the mountain peaks. Otherwise beautiful blue sky.

Path of reflection
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #Photography #Alps

A narrow path leading along the edge of a shallow high alpine mountain lake towards the horizon. The lake has crystal clear cyan-blue water, its surface completely still and reflecting the clouds above. A steep rock face is leading up into a dark cloud on the left-hand side (only partially visible). A little blue sky in the far back.

Out & about in the Bernina Range, on our way to the Labyrinth, surrounded by majestic 4000ers (meters)... A dream! 😍
(#ThrowbackThursday, preemptive #FootpathFriday and my personal hiking highlight of 2024)

A glacier side moraine with an almost imperceptible path on its ridge is leading into a sea of ice, rocks and snow in the not so far distance. The massive glacier is just a few dozen meters below from where the picture was taken. It flows & drops down from the peaks in the back (all ~4000m and around 1300m higher up for my position), forming a maze of large seracs on the way. Sunny day with blue sky and some wispy clouds.

View across a large glacier (from the same moraine & position as other photo) towards the opposite side of the valley with its 4000m peaks, hidden below a thick layer of snow and ice, some side glaciers and bare major rock faces dusted in snow. Some dried brown grass in the bottom-right corner.

#LandscapePhotography

Short close-up video of a small, but intensely flowing waterfall in a canyon, filmed directly from the narrow path going next to it. Turquoise water, spray, the camera initially following the flow, then panning upwards to show the depth of the canyon...

To cross or not to cross, that's the question...
(One of the more intense streams — the outflow of a glacier — I had to cross in my life, that bridge looks a lot safer that it was IRL...)
#FootpathFriday #Hiking

Short 12 second video of a small foot bridge leading over an intensely/ferociously flowing glacier creek. The camera pans from upstream to downstream, later showing the creek disappearing into a canyon section (not visible)... bright hazy day/light
