Yes, I’m still here! But I’ve also been away for a bit – which explains the recent silence on this weblog: I was visiting Germany for a 30-year school reunion. Needless to say, I combined the trip with visiting family, friends, and favorite places that I wanted to see and photograph again.
Germany Trip 2019
Morning Walk at Wöhrsee
The last photo from my Germany trip is from a morning walk at Wöhrsee, the lake that formed in an old arm of the Salzach river. I’ve taken numerous walks there while I lived in the city of Burghausen, and often with Toni, of course.
Returning to Huckinger See
Thoughts, impressions, mental images materializing, and photographic revelations after visiting Huckinger See again, for the first time after nine years.
Königssee, Obersee, Hochgschirr, Königsbachalm Loop
Thirteen photos and story from a loop hike that I did in October 2019 in Bavaria’s Berchtesgaden National Park.
Kneiffelspitze, Berchtesgaden
For the sake of completeness, here’s a “single B-side” from my Germany trip in 2019. After hiking back down into the valley from Reiter Alpe through the first snow of the season and dropping off Simon and Florian at their car, I continued to Berchtesgaden, where I had booked a room at a hotel for two nights – and I was definitely looking forward to a hot shower!
First Snow at Reiter Alpe
A few impressions from waking up to the first snow at Reiter Alpe, and hiking back down into the valley via Schrecksteig, through autumnal forest.
