Additional foliages part I

Wednesday, 20 December 2017

As already announced in my last blog entry, I would like to continue with a handful of plant pictures and images which show our vegetal world as the main subject. Also all of them were taken in Austria during different, mostly smaller, trips. It's always pretty fascinating to me, in how many completely different forms and sizes plants appear. From microscopic mosses to vast forests stretching all over the landscapes.

Wonderful patterned barks surrounded by wonderful colored leaves.

An unexpected vegetal delight in this fantastic but very barren landscape high up in the mountains of the High Tauern National Park in Carinthia. I've never seen a more beautiful bunch of Edelweiss before.

A small tree somewhere along the Totes Gebirge in Upper Austria enters the stage.

Martagon Lilies in a rather dark wood during an extremely colorful and pleasant sunset. This one is also the title image of my 2018 calendar.

Just a tiny spot in the woods near my home, but it gives me a sense of pristine nature.

The sun comes up late in this valley surrounded by high mountains, but finally this lonely larche tree escaped the shadow.

A sunny evening in an autumn beech forest in Lower Austria.

Impressions of an early summer morning.

Great combination of fall foliage and the last spot light of the setting sun illuminating the treetops.
We all take plants for granted and I guess most people don't pay that much attention to them. But just imagine a plantless world. Without them we would be lost in so many ways. They feed us, they absorb CO2, they avoid erosion, etc. ... and last but not least they're mainly responsible for the colors in our world.

Additional vistas part I

Monday, 18 December 2017

Since the photographic possibilities here around my hometown are again rather unappealing at this time of the year, I took advantage of this fact and finally managed to go through all my untouched images and to clear my harddrive. So I will show several of these pictures here and will probably post them in a shorter interval. The captures will mainly show Austrian landscapes, plants and birds. Finally I will display three sets on each of these three topics. To avoid a lack of variety, I will mix them up. As is mostly the case, I'm doubtful again, which images to show and which images not to show. They say, as a good photographer it's not important to take only great images, but it's important not to show the poor ones. But beside the quality of the photograph itself, an image can also contain a rather poor capture of a great, special or memorable moment. And for me, it's not about just displaying my best works, it's also about displaying moments in nature. So, I'm aware (especially when it comes to the "left-overs"), that not all of the pictures from 2017 I'll show here as of now, are actually great photographs, but I cannot resist to show also some of the mediocre ones, because it's simply important to me. Hope you'll enjoy and agree ;)

Exciting conditions during my workshop at Lake Almsee in October.

Colorful foliage, mist and the setting sun. A delightful combination.

During my Red Deer rut trip I came across this gorgeous mountain morning scenery of scattering fog, fall foliage and blue skies ...

... and a few days later on my way back home I came across this autumn pleasures. So I had to set new priorities and empty my lunch box and my water bottle ;)

A lovely pre summer night up in the mountains of the High Tauern at the beginning of June.

Due to the thunderstorms we only had a very short night swim in the lake, but I grabbed my camera and the chance to capture a lighting bolt above the mountains.

Catching the last vitamin D on a small open meadow above the forest during this warm and sunny autumn day.

After hours of enjoying the silence, finally the heavy fog vanished and revealed the beautiful backdrop.

One of those rather unspectacular and ordinary scenes, which nevertheless has an undeniable modest beauty (at least to me). Please notice the amazing amount of dew on the larches on the left side of the image.
The next series will be all about plants(capes). So, if you're eager for some memories of the more colorful days, check back here soon. Until then, have a good one everybody!
