'Im Nirgendwo' 'in the nowhere'
It might look like a "normal" hiking photo. But that day I hiked into an area where I didn't see nor hear anybody for quite some hours!
Shortly after I took this photo, I reached a spot where I just stopped, looked around and - except for the trail - everything was just nature. No human made sound, no human traces ... And I think it was the first time I felt really "remote" and in the nowhere -- and I liked it!

1. A serene and inviting forest trail unfolds in this lush, green landscape. The trail, a narrow dirt path, winds its way through a dense forest of tall evergreen trees. The trees, with their vibrant green needles, create a natural canopy overhead, casting dappled shadows on the path below. The forest floor is a mix of green grass, moss, and scattered rocks, adding texture and depth to the scene. The path is bordered by patches of wildflowers and ferns, their delicate leaves swaying gently in the breeze. In the distance, the trail appears to lead deeper into the forest, disappearing among the trees and hinting at further adventures. The overall mood is one of peaceful solitude and natural beauty, perfect for a leisurely hike or a moment of quiet reflection. The image beautifully captures the tranquility and charm of a forest trail, where nature's simplicity and elegance shine through.

A Hobbit house wouldn't be a good place without a green roof right? And under a tree is a good place for Frodo and Gandalf having a chat.
Gandalf: But now I have to speak with Bilbo. Let's chat later.
Frodo: Bilbo is strange recently. He spends a lot of time in his writing room studying maps etc.
Gandalf: Does he? 🤔 Ah, I'll have a look...

So.. What's Bilbo doing there? Is he writing a book? "There and back again" 🤔
Bilbo: Hey? Not so nosy! I'm not finished yet!
Hm a book with BB initials and his old contract with Thorin aside? What might it be about?
Meanwhile, Frodo is inspecting the chimney... This will be a really good hobbit hole!

Oh! Look, we are getting Christmas visitors!
I asked if they aren't a bit late. But the Grey answered that a wizard is never late. He is also not too early. Wizards arrive just in time.
Well, let's see.

It's building day again! Today we built more interior. A fireplace is important, same as a small supply of firewood. We don't want a cold place, don't we? Oh this will be cozy evenings!
Oh and a nice cupboard arrived just in time as well! Isn't this a beauty? If you carry an umbrella or a sword, just put it in the bin to the left, okay?

Laying the carpet in the shell is indeed a bit daring. But... He's just so fluffy! Just the right feeling after a full day of building. Isn't it?
May I invite you for a cup of tea and some cake maybe?

The stonework looks professional so far. I think we can be happy with that.
The windows are... Round enough to make a #Hobbit feel cozy.
Phew that was quite some work for today. Time for a little rest. I think we even forgot the afternoon tea.

Oh you've discovered my "Treasure Chest"!
Do you remember my Mithril armor? Oh this was an adventure that I'm writing down right now. The title isn't yet finished. But it will be a good story.
You should come by some time for a cup of tea, then we can have a good chat about it! Oh this adventure... But I have to prepare my birthday party and the garden needs some preparation as well.
Oh, when you leave, have a look at my freshly painted door! Isn't it a beautiful door?

'Eisige Zeiten' #FotoVorschlag 'icy times'
Oh I have a couple of frosty photos, but this might be one of my best. I spent quite a while there to capture the cold feeling.
Packed in multiple layers, I really spent quite a while around that spot in order to really see the right motives.
It just reminds me that I could post more of my winter photos! :)

2. A stunning winter scene reveals a frozen waterfall cascading between towering, snow-covered cliffs. The waterfall, partially frozen in time, glistens with icicles that hang from the rocky ledges, creating a mesmerizing spectacle of nature's raw beauty. The cliffs, blanketed in a thick layer of snow and ice, frame the waterfall and add a sense of grandeur to the scene. Below, a shallow stream flows gently over snow-dusted rocks, its surface partially covered with a thin layer of ice. The contrast between the dark, rugged rocks and the pristine white snow creates a striking visual effect. The air is crisp and still, and the soft light filtering through the narrow canyon enhances the ethereal atmosphere. This captivating winter landscape evokes a sense of tranquility and wonder, capturing the quiet majesty of a frozen waterfall in a secluded, snowy canyon. The interplay of ice, snow, and rock creates a moment of serene beauty, inviting reflection and appreciation for the power and artistry of the natural world.

Transferred my #OneNote notes to #joplin.
Another service I don't use any more. Joplin doesn't have all the features as oneNote - but it looks like it has everything I need.
Now it's time to test it in real life.
This #selfhosting can really become addictive...

My take for #silentSunday . Seen yesterday from the summit that I was #hiking to. I had to zoom in quite a bit to capture this distant scene.
Whenever I see a trailrunner passing me with his ultralight / small backpack, I'm wondering why I'm carrying that heavy gear up those mountains. But in such moments I confirm to myself that it's worth the effort.

1. A sea of soft, billowing clouds stretches out beneath a dramatic mountain landscape, their fluffy white peaks gently undulating like waves. The mountains rise majestically from the cloud cover, their rugged silhouettes softened by the misty atmosphere. Layer upon layer of forested ridges and peaks fade into the distance, creating a sense of depth and scale that feels almost infinite. The scene is serene and ethereal, with the clouds obscuring the lower slopes and adding an air of mystery to the landscape. The light is diffused, casting a gentle glow over the mountains and enhancing the tranquil, dreamlike quality of the moment. The contrast between the solid, dark shapes of the mountains and the soft, flowing clouds creates a striking visual balance, evoking a sense of calm and contemplation. This breathtaking view captures the quiet grandeur of nature, where the earth and sky come together in a harmonious dance of light, shadow, and mist. It’s a moment that feels timeless, inviting reflection and a deep appreciation for the beauty of the natural world.

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.

1. A narrow, winding trail meanders through a dense, misty forest, its path carpeted with a thick layer of vibrant green moss. Towering trees, their trunks dark and sturdy, rise high above, their branches intertwining to form a natural canopy that filters the soft, diffused light. The air is cool and damp, filled with the earthy scent of moss, pine, and the faint hint of mist that lingers among the trees. The forest floor is a lush tapestry of moss-covered rocks and fallen branches, their surfaces softened by layers of velvety green. The trail, though narrow, is inviting, leading deeper into the heart of the forest where the mist adds an air of mystery and tranquility. Sunlight struggles to penetrate the thick foliage, casting dappled shadows and creating an atmosphere of serene solitude. This enchanting scene evokes a sense of peaceful isolation, as if stepping into another world where time slows and nature’s quiet beauty takes center stage. The forest feels ancient and untouched, a sanctuary for those seeking refuge in the embrace of the natural world.

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

1. Beneath a soft, overcast sky, an ancient tree stands as a towering sentinel in a lush, misty forest. Its massive trunk, cloaked in a thick blanket of vibrant green moss, rises powerfully from the earth, exuding an aura of timeless strength and quiet wisdom. The moss, rich and velvety, clings to every curve and crevice, painting the tree in a living tapestry of emerald hues. The tree’s sprawling roots, partially hidden by the same mossy carpet, stretch out like gnarled fingers, anchoring it firmly into the damp forest floor. Above, its sturdy branches twist and turn skyward, creating an intricate canopy of leaves that filter the muted light into a gentle, dappled glow. The air feels cool and slightly humid, carrying the earthy scent of damp soil and the faint, refreshing fragrance of greenery. Surrounding the tree, the forest is alive with shades of green—ferns, shrubs, and younger trees form a dense, verdant underbrush, their leaves glistening with traces of recent rain. The atmosphere is serene and almost mystical, as if this ancient giant has been silently witnessing the passage of seasons for centuries. It’s a scene that invites contemplation, a reminder of nature’s enduring beauty and the quiet majesty of old-growth forests.
