A quiet place for reflection (April 2025)
#LandscapePhotography #Alps #Mountains #Lake

View across a mountain lake with a completely still mirror-like surface reflecting the mountains opposite, their rock faces illuminated by the warm orange evening sun. Small patches of snow near the summits. Semi-overcast sky.

First signs of winter, on the first of November...
(The snow cover was actually already more solid earlier this week. That's probably the last of the colors for this year... hard to believe we're here yet again!)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

An almost abstract photo of an alpine, rocky mountain peak (Gaishorn), partially snow covered, further down grassy and forested slopes. The grasses are largely intense orange brown, some greener patches in lower elevations. Featureless flat gray sky.

Navigating the herd.
(There were 170 highland cattle, sometimes just a few inches away... quite a few blocking the path with their calves and feeling agitated so we had to navigate/bypass through the talus fields higher up, giving these beauties more space...)
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography

A path is leading into the distance in a peaceful grassy alpine valley. Highland cattle with large twisted horns are grazing and standing near and on the path. The steep slopes on the left are covered in forest, only the top parts still catching the evening sun. Most of the valley is already in shade. Mountain peaks and blue sky in the back.

Not quite Canadian Shield, but close... and at much higher elevation (~2300m)
(Another impression from the same region from yesterday's pictures, see description there...)
#MountainMonday #LandscapePhotography

A tundra-like scene of (a section of) some enormous sloped boulders, smoothed and scraped off by thousands of years of glacial movement, now slowly overgrown by beautiful dry, orange grasses and small trees (larches), which are also slowly taking on their autumn colors. The rocks have a pinkish brown color with yellow/green lichens growing in some regions. The background is a uniform green-gray color, i.e. the color of the glacier lake with its milky water and some very, very faint reflections.

Beautiful colors a week ago, yesterday everything was already white up there... 😍
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #Alps

Short video panorama from a narrow path in a high alpine glacial valley. The retracted glacier (Gepatschferner) is temporary visible in the background.

Approaching the great wall
(From a hike up a beautiful side valley in the Karwendel, September 2023)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

A mixed group of trees in early autumn colors of different shades of yellows and greens in a wide post-glacial alpine valley with steep slopes on either side. In the background the main ridge of the Karwendel, a massive wall of rock faces several kilometers in length. Bright hazy day with pale blue/gray sky.

Just beam me back there again... Right now, exactly two weeks ago. Alone in the valley, on my way back to civilization. Alpenglow forming at the peaks opposite...😍
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography

360 video panning of a narrow, rocky footpath (partially secured with steel ropes) around 100 meters above a narrow canyon, higher up opening into a vast high alpine valley...

King Ortler (3905m)
No picture can do it justice... For scale, note the mountain hut (Berglhütte, at 2188m) in the bottom-left corner...
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

View of the Ortler mountain with its glaciated peak and prominent nortwest ridge leading down deep into the valley. A tiny speck — actually the 2-storey mountain hut (Berglhütte) — is near the (visible) bottom of that ridge, just above the tree line. Another glacier (Niederer Ortlerferner) was coming down in the valley in front of the ridge, but by now stops much further up, its tongue barely visible in the shade... Deep blue, clear sky.

Taking The Red Carpet Path.
(Not often that I find myself in a place exuding such intense natural positive/friendly energy [and beautiful scents]...)
#MountainMonday #LandscapePhotography

A small rocky path leading through an open alpine landscape with dense low-growth vegetation (mainly dried heather, blueberry bushes with red leaves). Further on, the path leads through a small section of young Swiss pine forest, a snowcapped mountain peak in the distance. Sunny day with clear blue sky.

First/last light, same day. Golden larches.
(From a hike on the last day of our recent roadtrip. The view in the second image is looking back at Hanauer Hütte, in front of Schneekarlespitze and (clipped) Dremelspitze)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

(Mostly) yellow larch trees standing in dense patches of lowgrowth mountain pines, on steep mountain slopes in the morning fog. A vague ridge line in the background. Uniform gray sky.

Multi-layered mountain landscape, in terms of distance, elevation and light. A mountain hut (Hanauer Hütte) is standing on the precipice of a large rock wall, the cables of its supply cable car leading up to it from the valley. Behind it, the ridge line of Schneekarlespitze and the north face of Dremelspitze in the haze. Most of the lower valley parts are already in deep shade from the surrounding peaks. Only a band of yellow/orange larches standing in the penumbra are still catching the beauti…

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%+).

(Ammergauer Alps, November 2024)
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #Alps

First person video, walking on a narrow path along a ridge, looking down very steep slopes on either side, covered in dried grass and forests, rocky cliffs. Views as far as the eye can see. Late afternoon sun with beautiful warm light. Serene clear sky.

Invisible waterfall (standing directly above it) — Engadin, Sep 2024.
#WaterfallWednesday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

Photo of a glacial creek with milky beige water, full of glacial flour. The creek flows over rocks and along a large boulder covered in small pines and bushes in beautiful autumn colors. Low-hanging clouds above the forest in the background. A sliver of blue sky above.

7AM, out and about on a stunning rainy morning walk between layers of fog and clouds... absolute silence...
#MorningWalk #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

Black and white photo of a pre-alpine landscape of rolling hills intersected by layers of dense fog

Black and white photo looking into the Lech valley near Reutte (in the distance), from above layers of fog and low hanging clouds. Silhouettes of forest and mountains fading into the gray background.

Black and white photo of the silhouette of a hill top surrounded by dense layers of fog.

Black and white photo of the edge of a forest and a mountain meadow with fog moving up the hill, quickly enshrouding trees and everything else

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...
(Alt text for more detail)
#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…

How many more memorials to remember and warn of the horrors of war? Lessons learned, when? Ever? The same patterns repeating, over and over...
(This memorial is to remember the Italo/Austrian "White War", part of the WW1 frontline in the Dolomites at 2300m...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

An obelisk war memorial standing on the precipice of a small grassy plateau in a high alpine setting, a deep valley immediately behind it and layers of craggy mountain ridges behind. It's close to sunset and only some of the peaks are illuminated by the sun. Layers of cloud/fog forming.

From pass to pass...
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #Alps

View of a mountain and nearby pass from a narrow & steep smaller ridge. The main peak is semi-shrouded in clouds and has large rugged rock faces reaching down into the valley on the right. Lush green grassy slopes are leading down from the pass. Small isolated patches of trees .

After a weekend of coding, this is my #MountainMonday today... 🥰
#LandscapePhotography #Alps #Hiking

View of a high alpine mountain pass with lush meadows in full bloom (incl. aconite) and looking towards another pass and mountain peak in the (not so far) distance. Clouds are forming around the peaks.
