View as seen from the Kronplatz in South Tyrol. A paraglider with a yellow parachute is flying above the Dolomite mountains under a cloudy sky. Snow-capped peaks and green valleys are visible in the landscape.

Langtauferer

Today, a year ago, I ventured on a dream trip I'd been researching for a long time, and which ended up being a semi-religious experience, being immersed in (and somewhat overwhelmed by) an actively changing environment, the upheaval and plethora of geological features, structures, unreal colors, layers, textures and the "wounds" exposed by the melting and disappearing glaciers... Countless waterfalls, stunning erosion features, later traversing the glacier gate and creek, descending on the ridge of a moraine almost 200m tall (marking the extent of the glacier ~175 years ago), further down walking through the cutest first generation larch forest with the biggest number of mushrooms I've ever seen... Hardly ever have I experienced Earth in such a vivid manner (Yellowstone maybe coming close, but very different)... it felt like being a witness on a journey through both geological and biological time scales, all within a single 24km hike...

Photo of the upper part of a glacial valley with large mountain peaks (some 3700+ meters) and remaining glaciers and icefields. The vivid colors are purely the result of the polarization filter used, but also nicely show the variety of rock types and minerals (rock colors vary from pale gray to orange, deep rust, black). The main arm of the glacier is curving down in the left side of the image, it's gate visible (a close up in the next image). In the front a fragment of the semi-eroded old side moraine, now slowly overgrown with grass. Creeks and waterfalls on the other side of the valley, exposing large sections of bed rock, smoothed by millennia of glacial activity. Deep blue sky.

Close up view (from a few hundred meters above) of the Langtauferer glacier gate and a beautiful river delta of the milky blueish-gray creek of another glacier (next image) which terminates higher up by now. The ice is characteristically blue, heavily crevassed and crumbling at the front. A word about scale: One of the larger detached ice fragments is ~2.5 meters tall.

Abstract looking photo of a section of the south-western edge the Gepatschferner (Austria's second largest glacier), which used to be connected here (as a major ice fall) to the Langtauferer glacier. Now only several large waterfalls are remaining, dropping over the exposed rock faces 300 meters down into the valley. The ice is pale blue with large seracs (approx. 50-100 meters thick at the edge). Some snow patches are a pale pink/orange, traces of Sahara sand...

Top down view of the Langtauferer outflow section of the valley, showing a patch work of different textures/rocks and colors from grassy slopes, talus fields in shades of gray, orange, beige, rust. The milky grey glacier creek meandering through it all from left to right. A small pool of crystal clear intensely green-blue water nearby. The entire scene feels like an abstract painting

A kayak is traveling down a winding creek between sand dunes overgrown with trees in autumn colors reflecting on the calm water. Bright orange, red, and yellow leaves contrast against a clear blue sky, creating a serene natural scene. In the distance, an old wooden dock is tilted from the yearly freezing and thawing. In the distance the creek turns to the left, leading into the unknown.

#SilentSunday #FilmPhotography

A color film photograph of a nature scene. The middle section of three tree trunks are lit with late summer afternoon light. The trees are in a grouping of four trees, one in full shade, next to a pond. The surface of the pond peeks between the trunks and reflects an extremely cerulean sky. (The CineStill 400D film develops with some crazy colors!). The smooth surface tree trunks are adorned with many patches of sage green lichen. Deep green evergreens are our of focus in the background.

Photo I took in Bordeaux. A high-angle view taken from a Ferris wheel on a clear day. The bright sun creates a starburst effect in the blue sky. In the foreground are parts of the Ferris wheel's structure, including a metal safety railing and a large support arm. In the distance, a wide cityscape stretches out, with a prominent winged statue visible atop a column, silhouetted against the sun.

#SilentSunday #Photography #Bloomscrolling #Japan

Two Cosmos tightly framed and in full bloom seen from below. The stems are dark and almost silhouetted, but there is a hint of green against a paler green background. The petals are pink and some indistinct white skyline is visible at the top right of the frame. The veins of the petals where a deeper pink reveals their structure are the sharpest parts of the image. Overall, the sense is of is of a suggestive blur of shapes and lines.

Every time you look at the stars in the sky, you are actually looking into the past because light from those stars takes many years to reach your eyes. You are, in fact, looking at the older images of the Sun, the Moon, and the stars. Isn't it fascinating?

"Yosemite Falls Rainbow." I was taking an early morning walk in Yosemite Valley and paused on a bridge to snap some photographs. And then I noticed how the light was catching on the water. "Perhaps," I thought, "if I wait long enough, I'll see a rainbow." So I waited. 40 minutes later, Yosemite Falls itself had become a rainbow. CC BY-SA Kate Zimmerman.

A dirt road through a forest surrounded by trees with yellow and orange leaves. In my area of Michigan the yellow are most likely hickory trees and the orange will be oak. The path is one lane wide and starts in the lower left and disappears over the crest of a small hill, leading into the unknown.

Draußen stürmt es
und es regnet Bindfäden.
Und trotzdem fühlt man sich herrlich ausgeschlafen,
der dampfende Morgentee schmeckt
und man hat Zeit, denn es ist Sonntag.
Mein Buch wartet schon
und auch die angefangene Familiengeschichte
möchte endlich weitergeschrieben werden.
Es ist ein guter Tag
und ich bin nach kurzer, aber intensiver Zeit wieder "voll" da.

Habt einen entspannten und friedvollen Tag, ihr Lieben, 🧡
und Dank für liebe Worte in den letzten Tagen! Sie taten gut! 🍁

The majestic snow-capped Mount Baker / Koma Kulshan rises in the background, providing a stunning backdrop to the quaint white Conway Lutheran Church nestled among autumn trees on October 13th, 2025.. The clear blue sky and serene landscape create a peaceful, picturesque scene.

photo I took 2 days ago in Normandy.
A vertical photo of a forest path in autumn. The path, covered in brown fallen leaves, curves away to the right into the woods. Trees lining the path show brightly colored foliage, including yellow, green, and vibrant orange, under a blue sky with some white clouds.

Its never too late for #FensterFreitag, or too early for #SilentSunday

A window overlooking the land next to the sea at night. Red and green harbour lights and a bright moon overhead reflected on a calm sea.

Found this intimate scenery on our recent roundtrip along Hwy 2 in Washington state with a large rock sitting in a calm creek, perfectly mirrored by its reflection along with the surrounding leaves in vibrant autumn colors adding warmth to the scene.

A one lane dirt road winds through a forest. Trees with yellow leaves arch over the road, almost giving a cathedral atmosphere to the pathway.

A scenic, autumnal landscape at Mount Rainier National Park with a colorful, vivid display of orange and yellow foliage, signifying the change of the season. Tall evergreen trees create a striking contrast against the vibrant colors on October 07th 2025.

Set against a cement-block wall at night, a lone lamp on a tall post in an empty lot illuminates a single gas pump and a couple of trash-filled metal barrels.
