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.

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…

Nurse Log
(Path through beautifully lush old growth forest on the slopes of Saddle Mountain, Oregon, in the spring of 2017)
#ThickTrunkThursday #NaturePhotography #Mosstodon

Photo of dense old growth temperate rain forest with trees heavily covered in moss. A large nurse log (also slowly overgrown) is lying on the ground among ferns and other low growth vegetation. Fog drifting through the forest.

#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.

Borderlands (2026)
Geographically, geologically, biologically, politically... The sudden onset of the northern Alps and the German-Austrian border (Bavaria/Tirol, near Füssen/Reutte) running along the wooded ridge in mid-distance...
#LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

Wide-format view of a small section of the Northern Alps and their foothills during sunset on a bright winter day. The sky is glowing in a mix of pastel yellows, orange, cyan. Snowy mountains in the back and white fields closer in the foreground. Closest to the camera are the tops of a patch of forest, the trees illuminated in warm red light. A sun beam is shining on a small village in mid distance.

Just returned from a wonderful 11km Friday afternoon walk along the boundary between the seasons...
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

View of a mountain landscape from above a small lake with green/blue water, surrounded by forest and meadows. Snow capped larger mountains in the background.
View across a still half-frozen lake towards the other side basking in warm afternoon light. The grasses and reeds are completely dry and golden. Some trees scattered and the forest edge in the background.
Cute close up of a narrow path in the afternoon sunlight with heather (in bloom) growing on both sides. An old tree stump semi-overgrown with moss.
Close up of some heather near the 50m drop off toward the lake in the background. Beautiful blue water surface.

Der Bärlauch blüht.
#SilentSunday #BloomScrolling #naturephotography

Eine Dolde sternförmige weiße Blüten des Bärlauchs. Die Blüten wirken durch den Schatten mitten im Grünen eher grün als weiß, der Hintergrund liegt in der Sonne und strahlt gelbgrün.

Entering the canyon
(Half an hour earlier we were sitting and basking in the sun at the top of those cliffs on the left...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

View of a mountain creek near entering a deep rocky canyon section. Lush alpine forest (mostly Swiss pines) and small cliffs on the right hand side, craggy larger cliffs and bushes on the left. A lot of the vegetation is in beautiful autumn colors. Clear blue sky.

Last Light, Last Look Back...
(Lachenspitze, April 2026)
#LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #BlackAndWhite

B&W photo of a large craggy rock face & mountain peak, partially snow covered and illuminated by the last evening light. The summit cross clearly visible. Near the bottom, in the foreground, a lower mountain pass/step, also snow covered and already in deep shade. Clear sky.

Golden Hour Pastoral
(two minutes after sunrise)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

A landscape of rolling hills with flowery meadows, hedges and forest in the background during sunrise. The sun is just above the horizon on the right , bathing everything in yellow/orange golden light. Dew drops on the blades of grass and flowers in the foreground. Fog banks further toward the back. The silhouette of a mountain in the background in front of the peach colored clear sky.

Golden glow
(It's a bit of a theme this week... the local woods keep delivering magic light :)
#EveningWalk #NaturePhotography #Forest

Wide-format photo of the almost setting sun shining through the trees in a dense & dark forest, creating a magic intense orange glow. The forest floor is still partially covered in snow...

Auf den Dächern sitzen die Tauben – dort, wo die Ruhe wohnt und ihr Reich im Wind beginnt.

On the rooftops sit the doves – where calm resides and their kingdom begins in the wind.

Naming Things Is Hard
Big Tree™ (no understatement!) at Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, 2019.
This beautiful individual is 1500 years old, but will it or its kind survive another 1500 years (or even just 150 years) of human presence?
#ThickTrunkThursday #NaturePhotography

Photo of the bottom few meters of a gigantic Redwood tree (the largest in the park) with a sign in front providing these impressive details: Big Tree HEIGHT 286ft 87.2m DIAMETER 23.7ft 7.2m CIRCUMFERENCE 74.5ft 22.7m ESTIMATED AGE 1500 years

Bergrücken
(From the same October morning as the previous image...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

A long ridge line leading up to snowy peaks (~3000 meters), getting increasingly rugged and jagged at higher elevations. Beautiful dense alpine autumn forest on the slopes in the foreground with some bright yellow larches dotted here and there, emphasized by the golden morning sun. Other large mountains in the background. Mostly clear sky with some cirrus.

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.

Abstract Ancient Oaks
(spotted during yesterday's evening hike, hoping to turn this into a series...)
#NaturePhotography #Tree #Abstract

Photo of a group of ancient and still bare oak trees, their main trunks and branches covered in layers of moss and lichen, some dried orange leaves here and there, but otherwise an abstract gray chaos of branches

First weekend of spring, but dreaming of autumn...
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

A mountain lake with deep green water in front of a steep talus slope and vertical rock face going up hundreds of meters directly behind. The lower parts near the lake are covered in dense bushes of dwarf mountain pines and some larches, all faintly reflected on the lake surface. The beautiful sunny day brings out the autumn colors with some of the larches in bright orange. Semi-overcast blue sky.

Pastel Fog Rise
(Watching the sunrise and a dramatic fog rise on an early summer morning near Zugspitze, 2024. The summit is partially visible through the clouds...)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography

Photo of a dramatic cloud forming from the dense rising fog near the steep slopes of the Zugspitze (its summit visible in a gap between the clouds). The cloud is illuminated by pink/orange pastel early morning light. A massive single red-white mast for a cable car is towering above the forest in the foreground, some nearby trees also catching the light of the rising sun. In the background, glimpses of talus fields through the clouds.

#LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #River #Forest

A mountain river (outflow of the Morteratsch glacier) with gray milky water, surrounded by alpine autumn forest of cute yellow larches and swiss pines. On the left hand side, a larch is bending diagonally over the rocky river bed and large rocks on the banks.

#WaterfallWednesday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #Glacier

Photo of a vast glacial valley and the mostly vertical section a large glacier with surrounding ice/snow covered mountains. The glacier tongue is almost visible near the bottom of the image, in the foreground. Some of the mountain peaks are catching the last golden light of the day.
