#WildernessCulture

Some mornings feel like stepping into a story long before you take the first photograph. A week ago, after a long cold night, I woke up long before sunrise with that familiar excitement buzzing under my skin — the kind that only a camera, a quiet landscape, and a promise of light can create. I pre-heated the car, stepped into the darkness, and let the road guide me toward the Kampina in Noord-Brabant. While most people were on their way to work, I was on my way to chase a sunrise.

And nature delivered.

After a 30-minute walk through the dim early light, the world suddenly shifted. The entire atmosphere turned black and yellow — not just the sky, but the mist, the air, the ground. Low winter sunlight scattered through moisture particles, a phenomenon called Mie scattering, which often produces this rich, glowing yellow hue under the right angle and density conditions.

In the foreground stood an old, gnarled tree — twisted by years of weather and time — silhouetted against a backdrop of dark, leafless woodland. It felt like a character stepping forward from the shadows.

Captured handheld at f/6.3, ISO 640, with my Canon 5D Mark IV and Sigma 100–400mm, this image is a reminder that sometimes you don’t just photograph a sunrise… you walk into it.

Blue like a dream and raw like the edge of the world. A glacier in all its glory – layers of ice shaped by light and time. Cold, quiet and powerful, this single frame captures nature’s strength in every shade of blue.

Zoom at the glacier

Golden hour at the watering hole – quiet, calm, and focused on a single need: to quench thirst. The antelope bends over the surface as if in slow motion, its reflection sketching a perfect line across the still water. African minimalism where every frame tells its own story.

Antylope drinking water

Face to face with the master of camouflage. Emerging from the grass silently and confidently, with a hypnotic stare that says everything without a sound. Wild Africa in its purest form – raw, beautiful and full of tension.

We wandered along shadowed forest paths, climbing over roots and stones, until the crumbling walls of Rabenstein appeared between the trees — a quiet reminder of centuries past.

The photo shows a narrow, rocky forest path leading upward between stones and roots. On the right stands a tall pine tree whose branches stretch across the top of the picture. The path is framed on both sides by dense green foliage. In the background, partially visible through the trees, rises the gray, crumbling wall of a castle ruin with a window opening. A simple wooden railing suggests a viewpoint or passage near the ruins. Sunlight filters through the canopy, creating patches of light and shadow on the ground.

„I've always found a cure for the blues is wandering into something unknown, and resting there, before coming back to whatever weight you were carrying.“

(Diane Sawyer)

Panoramic view of a serene coastal scene featuring clear, calm water flanked by rocky shores with a mix of large boulders and smaller stones. Moss-covered rocks at the water's edge add a touch of green. Distant hills under a cloudy sky complete the landscape.

“But even the longest day wears to sunset.”

(Marion Zimmer Bradley)

Nice view from our house's porch somewhere deep within the Swedish woods.

Forest at twilight with tall trees silhouetted against a sky transitioning from blue to pink. The ground is covered in grass and shadowed, with a few visible rocks.

“And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul.”

Vertical view of a dense forest with tall pine trees and a ground covered in lush green moss. Several moss-covered rocks and scattered leaf litter accentuate the forest floor, which slightly undulates with small mounds. The trees are closely spaced, with sunlight filtering through the canopy, casting dappled light across the scene.

“The river is everywhere and nowhere. It flows within us.”

(Hermann Hesse)

A cascading waterfall flows through a series of rocky ledges surrounded by dense woodland. The water, filled with bubbles and foam, winds down the falls against a backdrop of mixed trees under a partly cloudy sky. Various rocks and grassy patches line the riverbanks, enhancing the natural, rugged landscape.

“The heart of the wise, like mirrors, should reflect all objects without being sullied by any.”

(Confucius)

Evening sky reflected in a calm lake surrounded by dark silhouettes of trees. The sky is scattered with numerous small clouds highlighted by a sunset, casting reflections on the water, creating a mirror-like effect.

A tranquil river flows through a forest, with colorful autumn leaves and rocky cliffs under a clear blue sky.

A sunlit riverbank covered in snow, surrounded by golden and green trees, with mountains in the background.

A breathtaking view of a valley with towering cliffs and snow-capped mountains illuminated by the setting sun.

Tall tree with rough, textured bark extending upward, framed by surrounding trees in a dense forest. Sparse branches near the top reaching into a bright, overcast sky. Monochrome image emphasizing the bark's texture and forest's depth.

From our trip to Colorado. Went out in the early morning to try to get a glimpse of some Moose 🫎 and just when we were about to give up they arrived.
