Autumn Vibes
In autumn, nature shows itself in the most beautiful colors! The days are getting shorter, the leaves are changing color and nature is preparing for the approaching winter.
The Magic Light
We were just crossing a flat alpine meadow and were heading back towards the end of our journey when I realized that I started to see my own shadow in front of me. At the same time, everything around started to become brighter. Would the sun really have found a way?
A Snow Hike
At the end of January, we decided to try hiking a summit that we hiked already in summer. The experience during summer was pretty nice so that we wanted to try another path up and see the peak in winter. The weather forecast was stable and cloudy. It hadn’t snowed for quite a while, so I thought chances are high that some people where already at the summit before us and made up the track already. Especially in winter this is pretty preferable as walking in fresh snow is not just quite exhausting, but also a little challenge to navigation as all the paths are hidden under the snow.
Into the Storm
On this Saturday in early January, we started the day with the intention of going out for a hike. The weather forecast told us that it was likely to snow – which was pretty okay for us. Walking / hiking in slight snowfall is very nice. So, we decided to go for a mountain that we know pretty well. Therefore, the risk of getting lost was negligible. We also had no concern about avalanches on this trail. But we didn’t think about heavy winds or even a storm, …
Made in Pain
After an already painful hike I found myself at a junction where I had to decide to quickly relieve my pain and get home quickly – or do a detour, prolong the pain, visit another spot and take the opportunity for another small adventure …
The framed Bridge
This day was one of the rare days where I went out explicitly to explore some photo locations that I searched before on a couple of maps. I didn’t even expect to be able to do some nice shots as it was during the mid of the day. Nevertheless, while I went away from the previous spot, I caught a glimpse through some branches. “This could make up a great framing for this motive” I thought and so I quickly pulled out the camera again and just tried!
The Bridge
I wanted to see if there are other spots from where this bridge is a valuable motive. So, I just started my hike after some preparation at a convenient time of the day. The weather was nice, the temperature was comfortable, autumn being on the rise, clear blue sky – very nice hiking weather.
Alpine Huts
This day indeed was special as I wanted to scout a couple of locations that I had discovered before. So, we drove there and hiked to a couple of spots to check if there’s a scenic and/or interesting composition around. By chance it happened that we went for a walk with some friends afterwards. And while we were walking along this alm and having a good chat, I discovered this composition that immediately caught my attention.
Lonesome Borders
We started a nice hike on a yet unknown track. The path on the map looked promising, the weather was forecast to be sunny, slightly hazy, not too warm, … ideal hiking conditions! The first part of the track was along a forest road – nothing really special. But later on the views were just amazing.
Wild Isar Valley
The valley in the upper part of the Isar river is not just a nature protection zone but also one of the last areas where the river is kept wild – as much as possible. And in some parts it holds some unique views ..
