The Lore A lore that moves when you let silence listen. A fairytale that breaks free from its limitations, becomes its own story. And the reality that I’ve dreamed of. #photography #Fotografie #Landscape #Landschaft #SouthTyrol

Detuning Detuning introduces controlled imperfections to give the image a more organic, vintage, poetic, or cinematic character. Answers lay in the imperfections, the out of focus, the grain. There I am. #film #abstract #blackandwhite #photography Broken Olympus OM-1 Film- Ilford HP5 Plus 400

The Whispering Dolomites Where hum of modern life is granted sweet release. Just mountain, mist, and timeless alpine air, A textured memory preserved forever there. Olympus IS 1000 - expired Kodak 400 #film #kodak #analog #photography

The Promenade Poem She steps through stone and shadow, communicating with the world, Controlling chaos on a leash, Sound learns to wait and time politely lets her pass, for she is timeless, Shaded not jaded, makes it look easy to carry everyone's attention. #Photography #BlackandWhite #people #city

From Nature to the Jungle When I’m traveling I like to watch people in their environment In wildlife photography it’s a documentation of animal behavior. I apply this my theory to street photography. The patterns of humanity, the solitary figure, the interaction. Humans are fascinating to observe.

Instagram Famous Lake Prags or Lake Braies is a natural lake in the Prags Dolomites in South Tyrol, Italy. From July to September 1.2 million visitors to Lake Prags. It started to attract countless travel bloggers, influencers and photographers. It is now a must see location. #photography #travel

Whisper of the Alpine Meadow The yellow stars of summer bloom, Beneath the mountain’s heavy shade, And clouds that weave a quiet loom. Jagged peaks enshrouded ancient, grey and still. #Photography #Landscape #Nature #Italy

Dragging my Shutter In the middle of my landscape composition landed a beautiful common buzzard. Seconds to respond, I decided to shot. Knowing that I didn’t have the correct settings or the correct camera for that matter. But, if I could get the face in focus it would be an interesting shot.

Dolomiten - Falzarego Pass If you ever dreamed of winding through towering pale peaks, engineering marvels, and deep historical landscape. Falzarego Pass belongs to the top travel destination. Sitting at an elevation of 2,105 meters. In the Veneto region of South Tyrol, this high mountain pass acts

Room with a View Just wanted to share with you where Duke and I are staying, Hotel Corso in Bruneck, Italy Heading out for a day of shooting. May the Saturday be good to you.

The Brenner Autobahn is one of Europe’s most important north–south Alpine corridors, connecting Austria and Italy. This is what makes the route unique among Alpine crossings because the pass is kept open year-round. The Brenner Pass remains open all year, unlike many other higher Alpine passes.

Duke in Italy We are on the road again, this time in South Tyrol, Italy. The home of pizza, so Duke is excited. Beautiful landscape, so Belle is happy. #photography #travel #Italy

A Hidden Belief The world my be vast, and the mountains may rise, To challenge the weight of the storm, heavy skies. But tucked in the shadows, unbowed by grief. Rests a silent conviction. A hidden belief. #Photography #Landscape #BlackandWhite

Holding Secrets The sky is holding its breath, heavy and vast, While the quiet fields whisper secrets, keeping promises of the past to ensure the future. A pocket of stillness before the storm wakes. #LandscapePhotography #BlackAndWhite #FineArt #MoodyGrans

Suspended Caught between the shadow’s edge and secrets of a petal’s lips. A brief reflective universe. #photography #blackandwhite #nature

The Scenic Route Wandering while the world turns pastel colors. A quiet path, endless green and Alps painted in twilight pink. It’s a moment of peace only as far as the eye can see. #landscape #photography #scenic

Solitary Sentinel Perched where the earth meets the sky lays the truth, silent in its cradle but it beacon for miles. Suspended between darkness and infinite light. #photography #landscape

Duke of Spring My fallen star tears through the wild and bold. Outrunning the shadows Chasing the fleeting light He carves a path of reckless grace straight to my heart. #photography #lab #landscape #words

Hedi There are times when you are so connected, words are not needed. Just as I was walking by an alone cow in a field of dandelions she sees me and throws back head like a super model. She was Spring. #photography #landscape #nature

Rhododendron Pink Pink feels like softness, gentle, luminous and quietly bold. Delicately striking at the same time tender and playful. 🎀🌸🩷 #nature #flowers #spring #photography

Bird Watching🕊️ The topic of Sunday’s episode of 60 minutes with Anderson Cooper. I enjoy watching people discovering nature, and Anderson giggles and wows so nicely with each flutter of a feather. I do not recommend CBS or 60 minutes as a news source. But this was nicely produced. #clip #60minutes

The Road Home When the day ends with a clear path home and drenched in color. The moment of recognition, I am loved. It’s more coherent and spacious at this level, nevertheless full of complexity. Love answers it’s presence rather than by argument. #photography #landscape #sunset #travel

The Red Kite on Blue Canvas Hoping for a drop of freedom from the wings of a raptor. One of the most graceful birds of prey, almost hypnotizing how the Red Kite negotiate the skies as she is watches the earth for her next meal. #photography #birds #wildlife #birdsinflight #nature

The Flight of the Buzzard The hunter paints in silence across his blue canvas. Focused and effortlessly every movement a profound thought. A constructed situation for a fast ending or a continual beginning. #birds🪶 #wildlife #photography #birdwatching

A Canvas of Blue A Kestrel caught in graceful motion, wings spread wide against a clear blue sky. Calm and powerful at once, like nature reminding us that freedom can be both silent and majestic. Caught between earth and sky — pure freedom. #birds🪶 #wildlife #photography

Nature’s Company A butterfly landed on my camera today, as of nature had paused, just for a moment. I stood with the stillness, the light and the butterfly. Realizing the small miracles my lens could never capture. #photography

If Boys were Spring He is the thaw and biting frost A map of paths both lost and found. Unpredictably wild and beautiful. The softest storm that’s ever been.

The April Heart He holds a bloom in a steady hand, while the wind moves across the land. April’s breath, he is not one thing but all moods that wake the Spring. A moment’s warmth, a sun drenched grace gleams bright in his chiseled face.Then chills in sudden shade of thoughts like clouds in a light.

Last Round The seasons are going toe to toe. Winter tries to make a come back, by sugaring coating the pine trees. Spring just upped the temperature in the last round. #photography #landscape

Town Bully JR, Duke’s father saw a KittyKat on our evening walk. With all the excitement of a labrador he runs over to meet this mysterious creature, for his curiosity he got a whack on the nose.I had to pick him up and carry him home with him whining all the way. #caturday #storytelling

Behind the Scenes The Magpie saw the Buzzard first as he flew over, he quickly turned around and sat next to the intruder. And then called for his cousin, the Crow. The Buzzard knew his time in tranquility would soon end upon the arrival of the Crow. #birds🪶#nature #wildlife #birds #photography

Point of Retreat Winter tried to slip away into spring, I chased the season into its last retreat. High into the mountains where the hold was still welcomed. #photography #landscape #nature

Goodbye Jesse I was working for a talk radio station in Nashville when the morning show landed an interview with Rev. Jesse Jackson. Although, not my best work but memory was. He talked with such an eloquent tone, everything sounded meaningful. And no one dare to interrupt. #revjessejackson #film

Ghost A landscape photographer tends to blend into their surroundings, becoming almost invisible. Like a ghost. Every once in a while, someone sees you and offers you a return to humanity. She stopped and smiled, we laughed and spoke for a fleeting moment. A brief encounter that’s a lasting memory.

Somewhere I was driving home from somewhere or driving to somewhere from home. Either way in my parallel universe there was this point of recollection. #photography #landscape #nightscape

Great Egret I was surprised to see the Great Egret still here. In recent decades,partial migration has become common. Some populations now remain in Germany throughout winter, especially in areas with ice-free wetlands or mild climates (e.g., Lower Rhine, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern #birds🪶

Black billed Magpie One for sorrow, two for joy. This is a popular rhyme associated with the magpie. A bird of myth and legend. They are famous for collecting all kinds of objects, particularly anything shiny to decorate their nest. They can be seen anytime of year, anywhere on the planet. #birds🪶
