Mount Großglockner again.
Darkness can be very helpful to get closer to the animals.
Harsh spot light in the rather dark forest can create great contrasts.
It’s just amazing how many water droplets of dew larches catch. Actually I don’t know what causes this phenomenon. Maybe it’s the surface character of the needles.
Actually I should be in Styria these days shooting chess flowers, but unfortunately I couldn’t make it this years. But I can highly recommend to go out and take a closer look at all the gorgeous little early flowering wild flowers which can be found almost everywhere these days. Enjoy!
And an other night shot. It‘s hard to set the focus when you cannot see the deer, but when you’re lucky it works.
Most of the Lady’s Slippers are surrounded by trees.
Oh no, it's not easy to get them all in the frame in an appealing pose. Especially when you want them as silhouettes.
In German Ibex is translated with “Steinbock” which actually means “Stone buck”. Now you know why ;)
Pasque flower revealing its treasures.
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.
