“As long as you seek for something, you will get the shadow of reality and not reality itself.” (Shunryū Suzuki)
The Shadow of Reality
Lake
Halloween Sunset, Bernardo Mountain
The skies looked promising yesterday in the late afternoon, so I went for a quick walk to “that new/old spot” overlooking Lake Hodges again. I knew that the direction probably wouldn’t be “perfect” for a sunset photo so this was more to still my curiosity.
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.
Summer dawn at Lake Hodges
As August is coming to an end, we finally had a clear-skied morning without a marine layer (the weather was quite unusual, more about that in my upcoming End Notes for August 2019). I got up before dawn in order to be at Lake Hodges for the beginning twilight.
Yosemite: Dog Lake, Lembert Dome, Tuolumne Meadows
My botched attempt to hike Mount Dana left me unsatisfied. It was the right decision to turn around and go back no doubt, but it was still early in the day and I absolutely intended to fill my last day in Yosemite with more activity.
