My take for #FootpathFriday from our vacation in the #schwarzwald / #blackforest Iast year.

#hiking in the chill rain can be a bit of a challenge. But for photography it can be pretty cool.

I really like this one 🙂 I have a couple of Trees in my archive - not MANY and not all very good. But this one, I really like.

Hmm - maybe I should go there again now in Autumn? Trying to make the same perspective 🤔

I guess so. (okay, maybe a bit obvious 🙈)

I was recently messaged "I'm trying to figure out how to like your Blog post". (Fediverse #Wordpress plugin installed).

And I noticed: telling them to
- log into mastodon / fediverse
- searching for the blog's user (okay, added the "follow me block now)
- searching the according post
- and FINALLY like it

Isn't cool. - and I have no clue how to improve it. @pfefferle - not sure if you're aware of it OR if I'm missing something.

(also reminded me about @_elena 's post about starterpacks)

@dansup woah!

I saw a Nutria in the wild today!

Just sharing this reminder of a really glorious day in the #mountains .
I spent quite a bit of time to find exactly THIS spot so that fore and midground blended so well together.

And currently I'm having this as a background image in teams. Sometimes I wonder if this might look unprofessional - and then I think "maybe I don't care".

Hey! We just came back from a nice afterwork cycling.
Currently we do an hour of easy cycling every day.
Especially after work it really a blessing.

As I'm STILL behind with the recent trips I just browsed the archives for some beautiful memories of a hike last year.

This trail doesn't offer epic vistas but the trail itself is just a gem.

hey friends! One more photo from my recent hike into the #mountains .

My way went from this point to the right over the summit (not seen on the photo), down to the ridge (right into the photo), along the ridge, and down into the middle of the photo.

An amazing day and an impressive trail!

Hey! Just a quick snap from today's walk (okay about 4:30h) near #kirchseeon and #ebersberg.

It's been warm but really beautiful. A lot of shade, quite some old trees, lots of green 😊

I'm curious how the photos will turn out. - Now I'm thinking about tomorrow's activity. I tend towards an early bike & hike to escape the heat. 🤔 But it also means getting up early.

Back home from a bike and hike with a friend. I'm absolutely devastated.

Every muscle from my hips downward hurts. But I made it!

Hello all!
I wasn't able to process the photos of my recent trips, but I wanted to share this one from last year.

I went there on a hot day to "take a couple of photos". In the end I spent 3h just at this waterfall searching for the right composition & interpretation, the right motive etc.

I love the result, but I'm surprised how much time I spent there to get it.
