The wood anemone. Another one of these delightful little spring flowers.

Nice patterns in the sky. Nice patterns on the ground.
Hope you enjoyed this last little landscpae set. I definitely enjoyed wandering throught these areas and taking one or two photographs. I also hope you'll stay tuned for my upcoming works. Good night.

Wonderful colored birch tree in the wetlands.

In some situations I was really afraid they will fall down …

The Aist River in Upper Austria's Mühlviertel close to my hometown.
Don't get me wrong, all these places are still very lovely and beautiful and some of them are still not that popular and exploited, but I'm concerned about the fact, that (rather) untouched places of our natural world are either destroyed or touristic exploited or completely closed for all public. So where can you go when you want to spend some time in the wild? And how to deal with the general alienation from nature which leads to its destruction? Will mankind be able to find the lost connection before the last wild places are ruined and how can this connection be restored (one of the biggest issues in my opinion)?

The first snow of the season was already melting when I was up there.

I can almost visualize all the dwarfs here fooling around as soon as it gets dark.

Golden meadow in Lanín National Park.

Water and light. The two elements plants are depending on.
Thanks again for browsing through my images, hope I could capture some of the spring pleasures. Meanwhile the plants took over in many parts out there, painting everything in different greens and actually making some areas almost inaccessable.

One morning this little crab spider caught my attention. It was so well adapted to its habitat and waited patiently on one of the flowers for some prey.
Thanks for watching, have a good day!

Of course it's also the season of mushrooms.

Some rain in the distance enlightened by the midday sun.

The bigger part of the national park consists of giant rock formations, filled with water in lower areas …

… but it seems, they never do. No matter how steep or slippery the ground is.

Later in the morning the sun also lightens up the woods on the east side of the lake.

On the one hand straight sunlight causes hard shadows but on the other hand it can bring out the awesome colors of the kingfisher very well.

One more back lit low key image. Somehow this one makes me laugh :)

When you feel observed ;) … and how great the feeling is, when they approach after their observation :)

Definitely the season of gold.
Meanwhile I’m already shooting spring flowers. And the reawakening is as delightful as every year and I’m definitely spending much more time out there than I did this past winter ;)

As I explored this river I discovered a few lovely colored rocks in its floods.
The second part of my Rondane landscape images is already in the pipeline and I will probably show them during the next couple of days. So, as always, if you’re interested and curious, just stay tuned.

One of those numerous mountain lakes we discovered at the “lake plateau”.

We camped right beside one of the countless, mostly untouched and extremely charming lakes. And to our luck one evening the rain stopped for a couple of hours so that we could enjoy a wonderful eve. Indeed there was some kind of a soft sunset light in the low clouds and finally we noticed this small group of cranes resting on a rock in the lake, accompanying us into the night and putting a smile on our faces.

Even when the sun has set, there’s some glow on the mountain slopes …

Time to say goodbye. For now.
I will visit this place and these animals definitely again as soon as I can manage to. Aside from my great time end experiences with the mostly wild nature and its inhabitants I also met a few really friendly people of the national park team I would like to thanks for their kindness.

And I would like to thanks you all for stopping by and watching my images. Would be cool to see you again here soon, when you’ll find some images of other subjects again ;)
