Reiter Alpe in the rain

2022/03/062019/10/02

Fog and rain on the ascend to Wagendrischlhorn via Rossgasse, Reiter Alpe, Austria. Early October 2019.

A short but wet and unsuccessful attempt to summit Wagendrischlhorn at Reiter Alpe during my Germany trip – in rather unpleasant weather. With mildly entertaining wardrobe problems and solutions.

A diptych of Alpenglow on the Loferer Steinberge range in Austria. I just stumbled over this old, old set of images. They’re from November 2008, which was my second year “into” photography with a DSLR (and my second camera body already, the unique Fuji Finepix S5pro* – too bad Fuji stopped making DSLRs based on Nikon bodies!).

Huckinger See Twilight (Forest & Shrooms)

Tall trees and forest pond at dusk, Huckinger See, Austria; September 2010.

A few impressions from a twilight walk in the woods around the Huckinger lakes in Austria.

This is an archive post, added to the site in December 2018, and dated back to September 2010, when I actually made the photos. “Ents” has been online as part of my “Huckinger Seen” portfolio for a very long time. Fine art prints of Huckinger See are available in my print-on-demand store (if you wish to have a photo as print that is missing in the store, please contact me).

Farewell, Sonntagshorn

2021/08/052010/09/05

Wolken über der Hochalm verhüllen den Beutelkopf // Clouds swirl above Hochalm momentarily obscure Beutelkopf; September 2010.

The weather was a bit of a mixed bag when I hiked Sonntagshorn as part of my “Farewell Tour” – on the one hand, the clouds and mist provided some nice drama, on the other hand, I had hoped for some of the nice views that the highest peak in the Chiemgau alps provides, of course…

Cornflowers

2021/12/112010/06/13

Cornflowers (Centaurea cyanus) are the prettiest heralds of summer – their intensely blue colored ray florets reflect a lot of ultraviolet light and are easily notable and highly attractive in fields of young grains like wheat, barley, rye or oat. Each cornflower is a bouquet! They have a ring of ray florets surrounding a central cluster of disc florets.
