Zig Zag To The Other Side (2026)
(From glacier to glacier, via 1000/1500 meters of elevation down and back up... humbling to be there!)
#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…

A still scene of an idyllic lake just before sunset. Everything is bathed in warm peachy light. A field and some small trees/bushes are catching the last sun in the foreground. Swamp and layers of forest on the other side of the lake, against the hazy sky in the background. Silhouettes of three wind turbines further back. Clear pale orange/vanilla sky.
