Last snow of the season(?)

Classic view of the north-western flank of the Karwendel, and the ski trail approach with parts of the beautiful, neighboring Wetterstein rising up in the background...

Picturesque B&W photo of an ancient small wooden hay barn standing in a snowy, hilly landscape with dark and dense forest further back, and the massive, craggy rock faces of the Karwendel massif rising up like a wall directly behind, still largely covered in snow. In the foreground, the snow has already started melting away, exposing the grass below.

Cinematic B&W photo of a beautiful winter landscape with silhouettes of small hay barns, forests and a cross-country ski track curving into the distance through the open snowed in meadows in the foreground. Large mountains (incl. Zugspitze, Waxenstein and the Ammergauer Alps) rising up in the backgound, clouds getting stuck around their peaks. The bright sunlight is glistening in the snow.

Two years ago, after a snowstorm. I wasn’t out to take photos—just exploring. Then the clouds dropped below me, the sky cleared, and Mont Blanc stood still under a single lenticular cloud. The last light of sunset painted the peaks in soft pink and purple. I had my camera in the pack… and I’m glad I did.

Today I'm enjoying an evening NOT doing coding until I go to bed - but just thinking about a couple of beautiful hikes we did last autumn which is also a bit relaxing.

I haven't checked the weather forecast for the weekend yet but - let's see. Let's keep fingers crossed that I'll also be able to capture some photos or videos.

(Actually, I'd be keen on trying some videos with transcription :-D)

A picturesque scene of a rocky river bed is captured in this image, with trees lining the edges and majestic mountains towering in the background. The river bed is filled with various sizes of rocks and gravel, creating a rugged and natural landscape. The sky above is partially covered with fluffy clouds, adding to the serene atmosphere of the wilderness. The overall composition showcases the beauty of nature, with a focus on the rocky terrain and flowing river.

Sea Of Mountains.

(here I come...)

View from a mountain pass into the far distance with ~10 layers of silhouettes of both smooth and craggy mountain ridges, against the hazy late afternoon light in autumn last year. Serene, almost clear sky.

An evening walk in four parts...

We end up doing this hike every year in early spring, a great area to experience both spring & winter at the same time. Really needed to be outside again after a few busy weeks. Yesterday's weather provided the perfect opportunity, light & mood...

View of a pre-alpine landscape with grassy rolling hills and forests. Snow covered mountains further back. A curvy dirt road is leading into the distance, through the meadows and past a wooden shed. Overcast wintry sky. Warm evening light in the foreground.

Zum Welttag der Gletscher

Im August 2023 startete ich zu einer dreitägigen Tour vom Jungfraujoch zum Grimselpass. Der grösste Teil der Tour führte über verschiedene Gletscher. Übernachtet wurde in zwei Hütten. Ein falscher Schritt liess mich bereits am ersten Tag in eine Gletscherspalte abrutschen. Ausser einer schmerzenden Schulter ist zum Glück nichts passiert. Am nächsten Morgen waren die Schmerzen zu stark um die Tour fortzusetzen, weshalb ich mit einem Helikopter bei der Hütte abgeholt und zur Kontrolle ins Spital gebracht wurde. Die Kollegen nahm ich am nächsten Tag auf dem Grimselpass in Empfang. Trotz allem war es ein unglaubliches Erlebnis, sich auf diesen mächtigen Gletschern zu bewegen. Ich kann dies jedem empfehlen und hoffe, dass dies noch lange möglich sein wird.

World Day for Glaciers

In August 2023, I set off on a three-day tour from the Jungfraujoch to the Grimsel Pass. Most of the tour led over various glaciers. Sleeping was in two huts. One wrong step caused me to slip into a crevasse on the very first day. Fortunately, apart from a sore shoulder, nothing happened. The next morning, the pain was too severe to continue the tour, so I was picked up from the hut by helicopter and taken to hospital for a check-up. I met my colleagues the next day on the Grimsel Pass. Despite everything, it was an incredible experience to be on these mighty glaciers. I can recommend this to everyone and hope that it will be possible for a long time to come.

Another view of the same valley further down, showing the glacier's large main side moraine, also marking the last maximum extent during the Little Ice Age in the 1850s... It's hard to fathom just how much volume and ice has been lost in these past 175 years, not just in this valley... In places, this moraine is almost 200 meters tall and the valley 600 meters wide.

Photo of a high alpine post-glacial valley and surrounding mountains. The large, several kilometer long main side moraine of the glacier is visible on the other side of the valley, its lowest parts slowly overgrowing with vegetation and young forest of larches and mountain pines. Greens are creeping up the various talus fields of more ancient side glaciers. The peaks in the background still have some active ice fields. In the foreground, a small path is leading through grassy slopes into the distance towards the peaks...

The Great Disappearing and Life After.

Considering it's International Year of Glaciers' Preservation (https://www.un-glaciers.org), I really need to continue working again on my photography book(let) about glaciers and surrounding landscapes in the Alps...

Photo of a high alpine, and by now post-glacial landscape, just below the edge of the rapidly retreating glacier tongue, still visible in the upper third of the view. On the left exposed rock faces to a higher up icefield/glacier, once connected to the main one, now only feeding a number of large waterfalls. Further down, a steep drop off with colorful, scraped-off sections of bedrock in rusty colors, large side moraines, slowly greening and overgrowing with grasses. Small paths winding through the landscape, which feels incredibly alive...
