The first sunrise was already super delightful. Everything was covered in dew and as the sun rose the magic began.

There’s really nothing better than the first warming rays of the sun after a cold and windy photo session at dawn.

Nice environment to live in.
And just as in 2014 this trip was also one of my most successful ones. Actually I have no problem with being patient and waiting motionless most of the time when it comes to wildlife photography, but nevertheless I deeply enjoyed the fact that I could move around and shoot almost all day long. Not least because the weather and light conditions were also good most of the time. I only had to deal with a few hours of blue skies and harsh light.
Colorful delights along the Aist River.
The valley of Rio de las Vueltas not far from the village of El Chaltén as the night falls in.
Although there will be a second series on this topic, of course I could only capture a very few impressions of this part of Patagonia. As everywhere there would be so much more to explore and I guess I have to go there again for a couple of times. As everywhere ;)
The rising sun chases away the fog of the night and unveils the landscape.
Not the worst location to spend some hours before having a coffee, I guess ;)
The population in Lower Austria in 2016 was really large and healthy I guess.
When the sun is hidden just behind some thinner layers of clouds, wonderful color can appear.
One of the rather rare situations when the animals leave the woods when the sun is still shining. So I got this shot in wonderful orange evening light.
Looks like it’s mammal time here in this blog ;) Hopefully they don’t bore you. But since I finally went through all the roe deer images I took this year so far, I decided to bring some of them online now. Cheers!
Most of the foliage has already left the trees and bushes.
Lots of alpenroses were in full bloom at this time of the year.

Another one from the blind series.
Everything comes to life again in May.

Actually the leaves of the Common Hepaticas are even more colorful than the blossom.
... and another picture showing the morning scenery afterwards.
The alpine wild flowers always have to deal with harsh conditions.
At the end of May this year, when springs also slowely arrives in the mountains, I will continue working on my long term alpine ibex project and I'm already looking very much forward to my next stay there. ... last but not least I would like to point out that I'm currently working on a general update of my website, so I kindly ask for your patience if something doesn't work properly, thx.
We started to explore Valle Francés in darkness and we were pretty happy …
First light of the upcoming day in the forest.
… you can find great woods full of old-grown swiss pines there.
Another low-grown but very gorgeous flower.
Heavy winds make the grass dance.
