For #mountainmonday AND #monochromeMonday , here's the start (well and end) of my hike the weekend before last.
Usually I'm not a fan of photographing roads, but this one made a nice line over the saddle and into the fog so I just gave it a try.
And heck was it c…

A winding road cuts through a winter wonderland, shrouded in soft, misty fog that lends the scene an air of quiet mystery. Snow blankets the ground and clings delicately to the bare branches of towering trees, their silhouettes fading into the ethereal haze. The asphalt glistens with a thin layer of frost, curving gently around a rocky embankment on the right, where patches of earth peek through the white. The atmosphere is hushed and serene, as if time itself has slowed in this secluded forest…

Behold, the 1200 meter tall "Labyrinth" ice wall/fall at Morteratsch, Bernina group, Engadin. September 2024.
(A special place if you ever wanted/needed to feel real small, surrounded by majestic fourthousanders...)
#MountainMonday #MonocrhomeMonday

B&W photo of the near vertical section of a gigantic glacier, heavily crevassed and surrounded by large rock faces, heavily packed with snow. A cloud blowing over one of the summits in the back.

Belated #MountainMonday ... Ever been in a place which made you feel you're maybe walking in dream (and it's not a nightmare)? This picture absolutely summarizes why I love the mountains the most in October...
(Had to de-saturate the colors because of polarization filter used, otherwise only slightly cropped and minutely raised shadows)

A wide and stunning mountain landscape with a small path leading through a dense colorful low-growth alpine vegetation (heather, bushes, blueberries, mosses) in different shades of browns, oranges, greens & reds. Gray rocks interspersed on the mountain slope which is leading down into a narrow canyon on the left-hand side. Large mountain peaks with a dusting of snow in the background. Pale blue sky with streaky clouds.

Ahhwm almost forgot that it is #MountainMonday ! So I quickly discarded my previous idea and share another photo from Saturday's #hiking adventure.
I was a bit surprised by the chill wind at the top but I had a great day. The best is that it was also quite some training for my legs a…

A majestic summit unfolds beneath a brilliant blue sky, where the sun shines brightly, casting a radiant glow over the landscape. At the peak, a wooden cross stands tall, serving as a focal point and symbol of achievement for those who reach this breathtaking viewpoint. The cross is surrounded by a small group of hikers, their figures silhouetted against the stunning backdrop of rolling hills and distant mountain ranges. The panoramic view stretches out in layers of forested ridges and valleys…

I never tried a video for #MountainMonday 🤔
I'm not sure if it is appreciated or not. But you might want to join me walking this summit (some might have seen it already):

The unforgettable evening light & hike on the day I resigned from my job back in 2021...
#MonochromeMonday #MountainMonday #BlackAndWhite

High contrast black & white photo of an alpine mountain landscape and rugged ridge line in bright hazy evening light, seen from a summit cliff on said ridge. Incredible depth layering, god beams, lens flares. The slopes below the cliffs are covered in forest, in the background only visible as silhouettes.

Not sure if this is for #FotoMontag or #MountainMonday 🤔
Anyways - I took it when I was #hiking up a nearby mountain. And this is maybe the passage that I appreciate the most.
It'…

A serene forest trail winds gently through a lush, green woodland, inviting hikers into its tranquil embrace. Dappled sunlight filters through the canopy above, casting shifting patterns of light and shadow on the earthy path below. The trail, a mix of dirt and scattered stones, is bordered by vibrant green foliage and delicate wildflowers, their orange and yellow blooms adding a splash of color to the scene. Moss-covered rocks and fallen logs lie scattered along the way, enhancing the natural…

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.

I don't want to miss #mountainMonday !
Ahw I so want to go there again. That day I didn't even want to go that far - but the weather and all was just great so I went on to the next summit.
I just knew that I should hurry to get back before the sun moved too far. Becasue - well - autumn sun is nicely warm - but

A rugged stone path winds gracefully along the edge of a steep, sunlit slope, inviting hikers deeper into the high alpine wilderness. Golden grasses sway gently in the breeze, their warm hues contrasting beautifully with the cool, shadowed valleys below. Towering above, a majestic peak—dusted with patches of lingering snow—dominates the skyline, its sharp ridges cutting crisply against the deep blue sky. The air feels clear and expansive, with layer upon layer of forested hills rolling into the…

A bit of #mountainMonday ! I took this in January 2024.
I hiked that mountain and decided not just to hike to the summit but to spend some considerable time and try to capture some photos that express cold & #winter.
I layed down to the ground and waited for the wind to blow s…

A breathtaking winter landscape unfolds under a clear, bright sky, where the sun casts a brilliant light over snow-covered mountains and rocky terrain. The scene captures a moment of fresh snowfall, with flurries gently drifting through the air, adding a sense of movement and tranquility. The snow blankets the jagged rocks and uneven ground, creating a striking contrast between the white snow and the darker, rugged surfaces beneath. In the background, a dense forest of evergreen trees stretche…

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.

Winter sunset extraordinaire...
#MountainMonday #LandscapePhotography #WinterWonderland #Alps

An empty winter landscape just after sunset, with frozen fog hovering over a snow plain in the foreground. Further back, the silhouettes of a stretch of snowy forest and behind that the silhouettes of the Northern Alps. Dominating it all is an intensely orange glowing sky.
