Through the hush of winter’s breath. Stitching silence. Mountains rise, snow falls and trains travel. A silent hymn, unseen dreams and endless journey leads softly towards winter. #photography #landscape #travel #bavaria

Paper Birch The bark is quite flexible and waterproof, making it a popular raw material. Paper birch bark is used in canoe construction, as well as clothing and waterproof coverings. Also, the inner bark can be boiled and eaten. And it’s used medicinally. #photography #nature

Sieglinde It was her 2nd cancer diagnosis, she was familiar with what was going to be expected from her physically. But wanted to still walk two little dogs herself. With a soft tremble in her voice she ask me would I walk with her. I said, yes. Never miss a chance to be a friend. #black&white

Seneca-Letters to Lucilius Seneca uses Autumn imagery more subtly. In letter 24, he compares human life to the changing season. Emphasizing that aging and death are as natural as the turning of the year. Detach from what must pass. Release without distress. Shedding of externals. #photography

The Cycle of Change Nothing stays static,why should we? Just as a tree shed their leaves to prepare for new growth, we too can release what no longer benefits us. Fall’s beauty lies in its impermanence, the fleeting colors, the cooling air, the promise of change. #photography #nature #fall #seasons

Somewhere Else I didn’t get a name, but I got a picture of the day the heavens open above you and I, that day the rain stopped and the sun shined on a Fall afternoon. I’m sorry I didn’t get sour name. #photography #landscape

Sweet Germany Just a few miles from home, Duke pops up, he knows we are home. Although subdued Germany greets me. It’s in stillness Germany unfolds it’s heart. Not in grand gestures, but with a steady presence. A change in the air, or a rainbow. I stop to appreciate the quiet things. #photography

The Slender-Billed Curlew The International Union 4 Consecutive of Nature has officially declared the Curlew extinct, making the first known global extinction of a formerly widespread migratory bird species whose range included mainland Europe. Irrsee, host a pair of these rare beauties. #birds🪶

Mondsee I thought, I would end this series with my favorite lakes in the Salzkammergut. Lake Mondsee is nestled between the striking peaks of the Drachenwand Massif and rolling hills of the surrounding area. Kreisten, is there to remember those who drowned in an accident in the 18th hundreds. #photo

Harpoint Observatory Perched above Zell am Moos, the Harpoint site has low light pollution and clear alpine skies making it one of best stargazing spots in the region. The small dome structure blends in with rural landscape, offing panoramic views of Irrsee and Mondsee lakes by day, stars by night.

Wolfgangsee Lake Wolfgang lies in Austria’s Salzkammergut region, framed by forested peaks and charming lakeside villages like St. Wolfgang and St. Gilgen. Know for crystal clear waters, sailing and alpine hikes it’s a timeless retreat that blends nature and culture in one package. #photography

Plötz Waterfall A hidden gem, this idyllic waterfall is 25 meters high. It’s surrounded by a picturesque forest that provides pleasant shade during the summer. The waterfall is part of the Ebenau Mill Trail, which passes by several historic mills. #photography #waterfall #travel

The Layers Layers whisper where light meets shadow. Each one a quiet echo of depth, memory and motion unfolding like nature’s own secret. #photography #landscape #nature

Zell am Moos I wanted to share with you where I stayed while in Austria. It was so cute, a small farm. The family lived on the first floor and I was on the second floor. It was quiet and peaceful also came with a wonderful view. Duke was also happy with the accommodation. Happy Weekend 🪄💖✨#clip

Irrsee Also know as Lake Zell,in the Salzkammergut, Austria. It’s a so called virgin lake, stretching 5 kilometers long an 1 kilometer wide. It’s a popular tourist destination, also thanks to the warmest water temperature of all lakes in Salzkammergut. #photography #nature #lake #austria #travel

No Words #video #fall #autumn

End of Summer The remnants of summer waiting to be stored away. A whisper of warmth lingers in the air. A thinning chorus line from the bees and crickets. The lake and the boys of summer lies still.But you hear them as they move further away,into a memory.That you hold before you packed them away

The Art of the Fall The season speaks in metaphor. It is the poetry of maturity, of ripeness before decline, of memory before forgetting. The art of the Fall is the bittersweet, the tension between holding on and letting go. Beauty often peaks just before it fades. Autumn is a gallery without walls

The Peak The goal may not be clear your steps may not be certain, but the journey awaits it’s Monday. #photography #nature #landscape

One Night Stand Not every story needs a sequel. Some are written in one breath, a single glance. Life is made of what doesn’t last forever, but of what that can not be repeated. #photography #landscape #nightscape

Escape from the Pumpkin Patch Not every obstacle is meant to be broken. Some are meant to be over grown.🍂 True strength isn’t forcing through, but rising above. Rising higher is wiser than pushing harder.🍁 The way forward isn’t always through it, sometimes it’s over it. #photography #nature #autumn

Upon the glass of the Königsee they rise,the cliffs of stone,austere in solemn grace.Each peck reflected in the water’s eye, serene in its embrace.Silence gathers where echoes sleep.Mountain guard deep secrets.The chapel’s spire, a crimson crown.A fleeting hymn fades.Nature paints a world reflects.

Königsee in Berchtesgaden A mountain lake nestled between steep slopes of the Watzmann and Hagengebirge mountains. There are electrical boots brings you up close to the beauty. Always surround yourself with beauty that heals, kind people, good food and great music. #clip #travel #bavaria #lake

The Königsee The crown jewel of Berchtesgadener Land District. This lake is Instagram famous for many reasons, but the St. Bartholomew’s Church is at the top of the list and can only be reach by boat.The first chapel was built in 1134. In 1697,it was rebuilt in a Baroque style with red doom roof.

The Frontline In a field of defiance one tree stands, unbent, alone it’s roots clutching liberty, it’s branches stretch wide as if to shield itself. The wildflowers gather at its feet, endless in number.Their colors spilling like voices that will not be hushed. Light woven in their petals. #nature

Landscape Portrait The world holds its breath between these 2 heartbeats of the year.Summer loosens it’s grip while Autumn leans forward. Fields glow in a golden hush.The sky wears a softer blue.Shadows lengthen tenderly on a canvas of fading green.A taste of departure woven with arrival #landscape

Cross to Bare She rose against the wind with her broken talon, the sky didn’t deny her. She hunted, she soared, she lived as though whole. Her wound was hidden in flight, but not erased. Still, she carried herself with grace meeting the day not with bitterness,but in quiet defiance. So too are we.

A Restless Canvas I stand firm, not to resist the storm but to welcome its story.To frame its chaos with clarity,to capture its fury with patience. For in the heart of the storm, I find not fear, but my grace and determination. Collecting my strength from your rage. #photography #landscape #nature

A Degree of Toleration Great Egret and Grey Heron are both wading birds that often share habitats,but the degree of which depends on the season, habitat and feeding conditions. They are not aggressive toward each other unless competing for the same fish.Both species are monogamous breeders. #birds🪶

The Ochsenrennen Oxen Race, is an bi annual tradition where participants ride on large oxen for 120meter track. There is a ceremonial parade, where the hometown hero’s are cheered on and bets are placed by spectators. The race can be unpredictable, but safety is the no#1 priority. #photography

Farmer’s Daughter She was taking a break on her old tractor in the last days of summer.Lean back with her world under complete control. She is such a BOSS #photography #germany #people #farmland

Girl Dads A role model for strength and endurance. Encouraging confidence and self worth. Cherishing the small moments while building memories and a legacy of love. A girl dad is more than a father,he is a safe place, her truth. I love to watch them as they try their best at everything #photography

Differentiated Consciousness The privilege of a lifetime is becoming who you truly are, not who they want you to be. Don’t be convenient or comfortably numb. Be amazingly different while coloring societal lines with your brilliance. #photography #landscape #sunset
