Photo of a typical English countryside with rolling hills, woodland ridges with trees in early autumn colors and big sky with layers of clouds (and some blue). The afternoon sun is casting long shadows in the foreground. A small hamlet in mid distance.

A large radio telescope (with a ~25 meters diameter parabola) seemingly standing in a corn field (it's actually behind). Some faint mountains in the background, clear sky with a pink-blue gradient.

A group of radio telescopes of different sizes (from small to very large, ~25 meters diameter) seemingly standing next to a corn field and some trees. Clear sky with a pink-blue gradient. The rising sun is illuminating a part of the largest telescope's dish.

Room With A View (2026)
(When 2430m elevation is near the bottom of the valley and the glacier(s) almost still reaching till the doorstep when that hut was built in 1928... now retracted by almost 4km...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

View of a mountain hut at the mouth of a high alpine glacial valley with steep rocky mountains on either side. The view shows the entire valley with the remaining glacier near the highest peak in the background and its outflow creek meandering through the valley. It's mid afternoon and the ridge on the right is casting harsh cold shadows. The hut and side buildings, on the other side of the valley, is still in the bright sun, surrounded by yellow/brown grasses among the bare scraped off rocks..…

Perspective Reset (2026)
(Carved by glaciers, houses for scale, colors for delight... the path ahead, to be taken 8 hours later...)
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

Photo of some smooth U-shaped glacial hanging side valleys in the central eastern Alps, parts of their remaining glacier fragments near the peaks the background. The lower slopes are covered in dry grasses in a mix of beautiful autumn colors. Talus fields and rocks of different colors higher up. Clear blue sky. A small gravel path is curving along the side of the main valley, passing two tiny-looking huts (near a talus field in the bottom center of the image).

#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

B&W photo of a mountain scene in the Dolomites, a constellation of large boulders at the end of a talus field, some of them with small trees and bushes growing on and around them.

#SIlentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Silhouette

The silhouettes of some spruce trees near the edge of a forest against the setting sun with a loosely defined red sun star. A calm lake at mid distance is reflecting the bright orange light which is tinting the entire scene. Some of the flowering grasses in the foreground are highlighted by the backlight. More forest and clear sky in the background.

Valle dei Sogni (2026)
(Complete solitude in the valley of dreams — that's how it felt and how I will remember/cherish it...)
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

An large open cirque in an alpine valley with still partially glaciated peaks and ridges in the background and open grassy plain in the foreground. Rock & rubble deposits surrounding the creek bed, overgrown with small bushes in their rich autumn colors and some larch trees (still green). In the distance sparse forest of swiss pines on the lower mountain slopes below the talus fields and terraced rocks. Bright hazy dazy with mostly clear azure sky.

Zugspitze (2021)
(View of Germany's tallest peak, last glacier [remnants] and the absolutely grand Höllental below, state as of five years ago...)
#MountainMonday #MonochromeMonday

B&W portrait photo of a large alpine landscape with the Zugspitze peak (2962 m) and its glacier remnants below as central motif. The mountain drops off steeply (over the entire height of the image) into the valley below, talus fields giving way to fields of dwarf mountain pines and alpine meadows below. The valley bottom is not visible and obscured by some white limestone cliffs in the foreground, the view being from a very narrow pass between the rocks with steep drop offs directly ahead.

#LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #Fog

A group of trees in some fields near the forest catching the first warm yellow morning light. The leaves of some trees are already turning orange. In mid-distance low hanging white clouds are floating as a thick dense layer above the lake (itself 99% invisible), their tops illuminated in soft peachy pink pastel light. The mountain peaks of the Ammergauer Alps visible above in the distance. Otherwise clear pale blue sky.

A group of sycamore maple trees in front of a large rock face leading up vertically for at least a thousand meters. The trees are already partially yellow/brown, as are the grasses in the foreground. On the left, the lower parts of the mountain are covered in dense wood until meeting the scree field on the right. Semi overcast sky.

#LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

A path leading into the distance through a stunningly colorful alpine landscape with glaciated peaks in the background. In foreground, a dense carpet of small bushes and grasses in intensely saturated autumn colors (reads/oranges/yellows). Rocks and small groups of larches and Swiss pines dotted here and there. A mountain creek meandering through the meadows in the large cirque in the back. Hazy pale blue sky with some wispy clouds forming.

#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography

Portrait photo of a treeless alpine landscape with low-growth tundra vegetation in rich, earthy autumnal colors (oranges, yellows, browns, reds...) A narrow rocky footpath is zigzagging up the steep mountain slope towards a small piece of horizon in the top-left corner with soft azure clear sky.

#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #Photography

Portrait photo of a high alpine semi-glaciated landscape. The bottom third in the foreground shows a glacial creek rushing down through its stony bed into an increasingly steep valley/canyon (out of view), surrounded by eroded meadows growing on talus fields. Another ridge is running down sideways in mid distance. Further back another large valley with vast and steep grassy slopes and higher up a similar glacial creek where once still ice flowed, surrounded by its old moraines. Cloud shadows ar…

View of a small village nestled in a hilly landscape with green pastures (incl. a few small herds of cows) and patches of forest. A large area of thick fog in further distance, the fog also drifting through the forest and gentle valleys near the village. Everything is bathed in warm late summer morning light, still casting long shadows. The view is from a higher up mountain and a sliver of the lands further back (behind the fog) are visible near the top of the image. No sky.

#MorningWalk #LandscapePhotography

A small mountain creek surrounded by steep banks with trees and ferns, in glistening light and with thick mist forming directly above the water surface, the bright sun light scattering in it and forming small light shafts against the darker river bank on the left.

#MonochromeMonday #LandscapePhotography

B&W photo of a dramatic bright white cumulus cloud stack forming above a forest. The view is slightly uphill and the clouds appear as if they're directly touching the horizon behind a thin line of forest and a large field in the foreground, which is mostly in the shade of another cloud. Dark sky.
