As far as I can remember, we only spent abount three days on the coast. Somehow we were much more attracted by the inlands. Although this shot is way too kitschy, somehow I like it and I actually showed it already among my 2015 favorites a few weeks back. I'm pretty sure this crazy shaped rock called Kannesteinen is quite famous and probably photographed a million times. But nevertheless I haven't heard or seen of it until we stumbled over it by accident on our first day at the coast. Once there, I gave it a try.
I couldn’t find out the name of this mountain, but it made a great background on most of my images I captured here. Especially when there’s a lovely sunset like that day, just right after we arrived and started hiking around.
During my last alpine ibex project at the end of May I discovered a huge amount of these cozy Spring Pasque Flowers on the meadows at an altitude of approximately 2.500m above sea level. But nonetheless I focused on the ibexes and not on the flowers.
… which were worth a closer look.

Ich hoffe wir sehen uns!
That morning I decided to create some wide panorama images to capture the entire beauty of the scene. I would like to show two of them here. This one was taken right before the sun hit the mountain summits ...
... until they start to open their beautiful blossoms a little later.
For a brief moment a Nandu and a Guanaco posing side by side infront of another stunning backdrop.
Some Marsh-Marigold right beside a creek.
From time to time we had an encounter with these cheeky parrots.
No rest for the ladies. And also no rest the gentleman, of course ;)
We set up our tent in this lovely little wood.
Cerro Fitz Roy is a 3,406 meters high granite tower in the Argentinian-Chilean Andes. The native American Indians, the Tehuelche, call the mountain „Chaltén“ which means „The Smoker“, because of the clouds, that can be often seen surrounding the summit. The non-native name „Fitz Roy“ comes from the name of the captain Robert FitzRoy of the HMS Beagle ship which Charles Darwin used for his famous exploration journey to South America, Galapagos and New Zealand between 1831 and 1836.
The nights in the park were pretty frosty, so we deeply enjoyed warming moments like during this wonderful morning as the sun finally came up.
Alpine summer days
Friday, 20 November 2015
I think this grey and rainy November day is a good one to share some summer memories ;) This summer Sabine and me, we did some multi-day trips in the Austrian mountains. We always really enjoy spending our time out in these few last slightly touched areas of Austria and so I would like to share some impressions of these days in my blog today. Hope you like them.
My girl and I, we spent a week in March in Italy. Actually we went there for mountain biking and hiking. I took this image during a coastal hike at the Cinque Terre National Park. I was thrilled by the patters the harsh afternoon sun created on the surface of the sea.
Two females and two subadults guarded by a big mountain bull.
The second series of my rut 2017 images will be displayed here soon and of course I would be pleased if you'll take a look at them too. Cheers.
Since the sun came up behind this particular slope quite late, the light was already very harsh.
A tiny spider on one of these big flowers during early dawn.
Life in the autumn larches close to the timber line.
The rising sun put a smile on our faces ;)
Conditions like these are always a great subject which shows up in countless shapes.
Days of testosterone part II
Saturday, 11 March 2017
So here‘s the second part of my 2016 red deer rut photographs. Same locations and background as in my last little rut-write-up. And since I‘m a little tired today, and I actually have no big story to tell, you will only find a very few words. Hope you agree and the images speak for themselves.
It’s actually an exception to see one of the ladies alone at this time of the year.
I’m already in anticipation for the rutting season this year and curious what will lie ahead of me. Hopefully also some memorable moments like I could experience in 2016 … Thanks again to all of you for your interest and taking a look at my work :) Good night.
There’re also other volcanos beside Lanín in the area, like the one which created this lava field. Unfortunately I don’t know its name.
Spring patterns of beauty part I
Monday, 13 June 2016
Before I‘ll continue with the second set of bird images of the Neusiedlersee-Seewinkel National Park, I would like to show the first series of my little chess flower trilogy. In April I was out again for a couple of days to experience and to photograph these lovely flowers which are among the most graceful plants I actually know. Although I’ve seen this flowers already a few times in the past years, I was instantly and completely fascinated by their appearance. They are so charming, it's actually hard to believe they aren't designed by children for their favorite fairy tales.
