My new website is almost finished and here is my last post about a guided bivouac with a great client : osteinerphoto.com/en/2026/06/3... Check it out ! 😉🙏🙂

Viola riviniana. A fragile little purple flower, often hidden in the woods, offering a delightful sight, especially when the soft evening light slowly closes the day. #ViolaRiviniana #WildViolet #ForestFlowers #AlpineFlora #SwissNature #NaturePhotography #Wildflowers #MacroPhotography #EveningLight

Sempervivum. They’re not blooming yet, but the leaves are already showing. Later this summer, this delicate and colourful plant will add its touch of magenta to the rocks. #Sempervivum #AlpinePlants #MountainFlora #SwissAlps #Succulents #NaturePhotography #RockGardenPlants #Macro #AlpineEcosystems

Shy in spring, Aster alpinus has just begun to bloom in the alpine meadows. Its bright colors are a delight, especially on long hikes, when these flowers quietly trace the path ahead. #AsterAlpinus #AlpineFlowers #MountainFlora #SwissAlps #Wildflowers #NaturePhotography #MacroPhotography

Gentiana acaulis. Delicately blue, this stunning flower tells me the snow is finally gone and brighter days are coming. Summer is just around the corner. #GentianaAcaulis #AlpineFlowers #MountainFlora #SwissAlps #NaturePhotography #Wildflowers #MacroPhotography #SpringInTheAlps #BlueFlowers

Pulsatilla alpina. Delicate and softly hairy, often covering wide patches of alpine meadow. I love how these flowers seem to dance, following the rhythm of the wind, letting their slender stems shake their heads gently. #PulsatillaAlpina #AlpineFlowers #SwissAlps #MacroPhotography #Wildflowers

Soldanella alpina. As the snow melts from the higher meadows, countless flowers bloom at once — yet I’m always drawn to the fragile complexity of this very common little one. #SoldanellaAlpina #AlpineFlowers #MountainFlora #SwissAlps #MacroPhotography #Wildflowers #NaturePhotography

The pools, offering a wide variety of hues, are still maintained and worked with hand tools, following the old Inca tradition. It’s hard work, under a scorching sun at 3200 m of altitude, a daily routine that has barely changed in centuries #Peru #Cusco #SalarDeMaras #Maras #TravelPhotography #Andes

The Salar de Maras were already being harvested in the Inca era, and today people still use the same method, filling the pools with salty water and letting the sun work its magic. #Peru #Cusco #SalarDeMaras #Maras #TraditionalMethods #LandscapePhotography #TravelPhotography #Andes

As a surprise within the already stunning landscapes of the Cusco region, the Salar de Maras appears like a mosaic of salty pools. Here, the sun slowly evaporates the water, leaving delicate salt crystals to be harvested, a centuries‑old tradition still alive today. #Peru #SalarDeMaras #Landscape

Houston’s skyline may not be the most famous in the US, but strolling along the bayou walk, I’ve always found it quietly charming and unexpectedly beautiful. Don’t you think so ? #Houston #Texas #Cityscape #SkylinePhotography #TwilightPhotography #UrbanLights #BayouCity

Houston, traffic time. In a big city, the daily commute, especially at the end of a long day, demands patience. But for the photographer, this is when the light show begins. #Houston #Texas #Cityscape #TrafficPhotography #NightPhotography #UrbanLights #Skyline

Downtown Houston, in the heart of the bayous. It’s often after sunset, when the heat and heavy humidity finally ease, that we can wander the walks and enjoy the modern skyline. #Houston #Texas #Cityscape #NightPhotography #UrbanLights #Architecture #BayouCity

In spring, you might find yourself alone in this ghost town, the wind your only companion. In that silence, you can feel the harshness of life in such a remote and high place. #Bodie #GhostTown #California #SierraNevada #BlackAndWhitePhotography #AbandonedPlaces #WesternHistory

Old and high in the Californian Sierra Nevada, Bodie is an incredible ghost town. Once one of the largest cities in the state, time has now stopped here. It is the perfect place to witness the past, the lingering after‑effect of the gold rush. #Bodie #GhostTown #California #BlackAndWhite #Abandoned

Witness of the past, still standing. Once welcoming the people of one of California’s largest towns, it is now a place where your imagination can wander freely. #Bodie #GhostTown #California #BlackAndWhitePhotography #LandscapePhotography #WesternHistory #DesertLight

That day felt unusual — I was moving between two heavy layers of clouds. The soft, filtered light gave the place a mysterious mood, transforming those modest mountains into something from a child’s fantasy tale. #MountainPhotography #SkiTouring #WinterMood #FrudayFeeling

We were a couple of photographers that evening. Most left as soon as the sun slipped below the horizon. Only two of us stayed. And we were the ones who witnessed the colourful show ten minutes later… #SunsetPhotography #LandscapePhotography #MountainLight #NaturePhotography #GoldenHour #Wilderness

Yosemite, California. Late‑afternoon storms are classics here, often delivering dramatic sunsets. I tend to arrive early as I love the wait, hoping for the best light show. And what a reward when it happens. #Yosemite #California #SunsetPhotography #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhoto #SierraNevada

Famous for its trees, Joshua Tree National Park is also a granite mecca attracting climbers from around the world. Spending a couple of days in this desert is a humbling experience. Sunsets are often magical here, especially when clouds, rocks, and desert light work together. #JoshuaTree #Landscape

Wild Argentina. High on the altiplano, with no one else for hundreds of kilometres, crossing beauty I never even imagined — something you won’t find in any book. Unique, memorable. #ArgentinianAltiplano #Argentina #Altiplano #LandscapePhotography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #SouthAmerica #RemotePlaces

Just north of the famous Salar de Uyuni, Tunupa Volcano is somewhat secluded and sees far fewer visitors. It is beautiful, remote, and offers the best evening one could wish for. #VolcanoTunupa #Tunupa #Bolivia #SalarDeUyuni #LandscapePhotography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #SouthAmerica

At the Chile/Bolivia border and rising above 6000 m, Parinacota is an ancient volcano, a white sentinel watching over both countries, often disappearing into the afternoon storms. #Parinacota #Chile #Bolivia #Andes #Volcano #StormPhotography #LandscapePhotography #SouthAmerica

End of the day over Lima. Time to run down the hills and let the vast Pacific Ocean disappear into the dark. Until tomorrow. #LaCruz #Lima #Peru #SunsetPhotography #Cityscape #TravelPhotography #SouthAmerica

The second‑biggest desert city in the world, Lima sits on the Pacific coast, snug between the ocean and the Andes. To the east, the mountains rise abruptly, often offering stunning sunsets to those adventurous enough to climb those dusty hills. #Lima #Peru #Cityscape #Travel #Landscape #SouthAmerica

Above Lima. On the left, the wall of shame separates the posh suburb from the slum. This cross offers the curious wanderer an incredible sunset and a stunning view over the city’s contrasts and inequalities. #AboveLima #Lima #Peru #Sunset #Cityscape #UrbanContrast #Inequality #Travel #Landscape

End of the day over Lima. Warm sunlight slowly fades and turns this vast city into a cyberpunk maze of light, revealing the neblina, those thick clouds trapped between ocean and land. #LimaPeru #SunsetPhotography #Cityscape #Atmospheric

Malecón de Lima. Just a thin line between the vast Pacific Ocean and Peru’s largest city. At night, both sides reveal their own contrasts and rhythms: calm and darkness over the water, vivid and restless on the land. #NightPhotography #LimaPeru #CoastalCity #CityLights

Above Lima, on the first hills before the real Andes, the sun slowly dives into the Pacific Ocean. The city below remains vivid, its lights awakening as the day is far from over for most. #LandscapePhotography #LimaPeru #Twilight #Cityscape

Iconic pier of the Malecón de Miraflores, La Rosa Náutica brings together so many layers of Lima’s life: fishermen, 24/7 surfers, people strolling slowly, and joggers tracing the coastline. A place where the gigantic city meets the Pacific Ocean. #BlackAndWhite #LimaPeru #CoastalLife #PacificOcean

Lima Centro Histórico. So many wonderful buildings offering both a deep cultural and historical experience, and incredible views of the surrounding hills from the tops of old churches. This modern daily life unfolding in the middle of colonial architecture creates a fascinating contrast. #LimaPeru

Seagulls line up neatly, staring at the Pacific Ocean. Lima, an aesthetic and fascinating chaos of colors, traffic, markets, desert dust, history, and culture. You either love it or hate it. #StreetPhotography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #LimaPeru #CoastalCity

That day felt unusual — I was moving between two heavy layers of clouds. The soft, filtered light gave the place a mysterious mood, transforming those modest mountains into something from a child’s fantasy tale. #MountainPhotography #SkiTouring #WinterMood #FrudayFeeling

End of the day. I love when the light begins to fade in the mountains, when the sun slips behind jagged summits or sparse clouds. And when a few skiers know it’s the perfect moment to be out there. #MountainPhotography #SkiTouring #WinterLight #WednesdayWisdom

Remote isn’t just that thing on your coffee table… you may discover it closer than you think. #MountainPhotography #BackcountrySkiing #WinterSolitude #TuesdayReflections

Shiny stars and remote mountains, A show to enjoy in silence Despite the bite of the cold Amazing Cordillera Huayhuash. #MountainPhotography #CordilleraHuayhuash #StarySky #TuesdayReflections

Not far from Lima, where city lights usually blur the night sky. But the Milky Way was incredible, a clear sky, and stars shining like never before. #NightSkyPhotography #MilkyWay #StarySky #MondayGlow

Last light warms the high summits. The remote Cordillera Huayhuash slowly sinks into the dark, pushing us toward our tent and sleeping bags. It’s already cold in the valley. #MountainPhotography #CordilleraHuayhuash #StarySky #SundayStillness

The day is gone. A cold night settles. The Moon shares its light, before the Northern Lights take over. Merry Christmas !!! #LandscapePhotography #NorthernNorway #WednesdayWisdom

Boats rest. Mountains wait. The dark night is long, before the sky performs. #LandscapePhotography #WinterLight #Norway #SundayStillness

Winter holds everything still. The river slows. Except the sky. Norway, February 2020 #landscapephotography #winterlight #Norway #SundayStillness

The forest waits in silence, until the sun finally arrives. #WinterLight #MountainPhotography #EdgesOfLight #FridayMood

Autumn means shorter days. That last light in the mountains always comes at a low angle, changing the landscape dramatically. #LandscapePhotography #AutumnLight #EdgesOfLight #ThursdayThoughts

Stand proud, whatever the difference. #BlackAndWhitePhotography #Minimalism #EdgesOfLight #WednesdayWisdom

Evening in the mountains—sheep gathering between dust and the golden light of sunset. The shepherd guides them with precision, turning routine into a daily dance of tradition and movement. #Transhumance #MountainLife #SheepHerding #SunsetGlow #RuralTradition #BlackAndWhitePhoto #NaturePhotography

It’s raining. The sun casts a final beam, fighting its battle before the day ends, while the valley has already surrendered to the dark. #LandscapePhotography #AutumnLight #EdgesOfLight #FridayFeeling

Morning light in the deep valley of Val de Bagnes. Late autumn whispers that snow is near… #LandscapePhotography #AutumnLight #EdgesOfLight #ThursdayThoughts

Seasonal transition. Autumn is fully here: golden larches glowing, thirsty glaciers waiting. Time holds its breath. Do I want to keep these colors, or am I ready for a thick white cap? #LandscapePhotography #AutumnLight #EdgesOfLight #WednesdayVibes #MidweekMood

After five days hiking in the mountains, I ventured onto the wild beaches of Olympic National Park. An approaching storm added a dramatic touch to an already rugged landscape. Driftwood, pebbles, starfish… #RubyBeach #NaturePhotography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #SilentSunday #WeekendWanderings
