Alpenhauptkamm (2025).
Near the central ridge of the Alps. Canon R7, CPF, unedited RAW (only cropped). Sometimes it just feels so unreal how colorful some mountain landscapes can be (even without polarization filter)...

Yesterday on our bike ride we almost got a sun burn and two weeks ago I was snowshoeing in the mountains! It's wild 😉
Today we have light rain, so I'm not sure if I want to get out for some activity or let it be a true #silentSunday .
Some background and video of the snowshoe-day can be found here:

Bangles for babies. The one on the left needs mending, to look like the one on the right. Meant to shape hands ward off evil.
The black beads are plastic; the yellow ones are gilded resin. The string is silver, copper, or an alloy.

My #silentSunday is from last week. Maybe I'll also add a blog post later.
Anyways - enjoy some snow for which I went to the mountains for you :)
Enjoy!

Our #silentsunday was spent on a mountain trail half an hour from our home. About 400-500m elevation along such a trail. And we didn't meet anybody.
Maybe because the location is too unspectacular: no great summit views, no summit at all, nothing to buy drinks or food - just a trail through patches of sun and shade with quite a few flowers along the trail.
Later, we cycled t…

Winter evening in the neighborhood #SilentSunday
My #silentsunday photo from a recent hike where I indeed saw the first little blossoms! I was so surprised to see them!
On the one side I was a bit sad as this means that winter is coming to an end and I did have far less winter hikes than wished. On the other side: spring is all around! Colors, more hiking routes, mountainbiking, ... all this is waiting 🙂

My #silentsunday photo is from last week, where it was about 15°C warmer.
Anyways - to me, a silent sunday means to relax, no rush, seeing the little flowers near the trail. Taking the time to knee down and take a photo - just for the sake of capturing a silent moment.
Enjoying a tiny flower while other pass by and maybe not even recognize a little colorful island.

For this #silentSunday I remembered one of our rare vacations to the sea.
I really like this photo. I feel like looking into the endless horizon, but still have a grounding element in the photo so that I'd never feel lost.

Hello, greets from our #silentsunday
It's been a nice day in the #mountains. Luckily the cleanup bag doesn't come to action a lot on this route any more. Thanks for everybody keeping the trails clean.
A little (birthday) cake afterwards was a nice ending of this hike.

For today's #silentsunday I am thinking about wether I want to go to this place and take a similar photo (just now in winter) ... OR go to the place seen in the photo. 🤔
I might also have to check the nature & wildlife protection zones first.
Anyways - enjoy the rest of your sunday.
Oh, I even wrote a blog post about it:

For my #silentSunday I FINALLY printed of my photos. It's been a while since a printed. Now there's a new gem on my desk 🥰
My wife said that we should have it also as a big print on the wall.
Anyways, enjoy!
I also put it online for sale:
