Hey all,
today was a totally grey day. Very low hanging clouds. Actually a superb inversion -- if I would have had the time for a walk to the mountains. Yet other topics were on my schedule for today.

But hey, this is what photos are for: having memories about good time, right? I wrote more about it here: https://www.franzgraf.de/blog/2025/a-short-hike-with-big-rewards/

A stunning panoramic view unfolds under a bright, clear sky, where the sun shines brilliantly, casting a warm glow over a picturesque valley. The sun's rays create a starburst effect, adding a magical touch to the scene. Below, a lush valley stretches out, filled with a patchwork of green fields, dense forests, and scattered clusters of buildings, all bathed in soft morning or late afternoon light.

In the distance, a range of majestic mountains rises, their peaks partially shrouded in a light mist or low-hanging clouds. The mountains provide a dramatic backdrop to the serene valley, enhancing the sense of depth and scale in the image. The foreground features some dry grass and shrubs, adding texture and a sense of the natural environment.

A Short Hike with Big Rewards

Not every hike needs to be epic to leave an impression. A short November walk to Seekarkreuz in Lenggries—familiar trails, hazy views, and a surprisingly sharp wind—reminded me that even common summits can feel extraordinary when the weather plays along.

#goodmorning it's a bit #frosty today.

Enjoy your day.

A tranquil field stretches out under the soft glow of dawn or dusk, its grass blades dusted with a delicate layer of frost that shimmers in the pale light. Scattered among the frosted grass, broad autumn leaves—edged with ice—catch the eye, their intricate veins and rich hues of orange and brown standing out against the silvery landscape. The frost clings to each leaf, transforming them into fragile works of art.

In the background, the gentle rise of a hill is silhouetted against a sky painted in pastel shades of pink, orange, and blue. A few houses nestle at the base of the hill, their rooftops just visible above the frosty expanse. The air is still and crisp, carrying the quiet hush of a cold morning or evening. The scene is one of serene beauty, where nature’s delicate details—frost, light, and color—come together to create a moment of peaceful reflection. The world feels still, as if time itself has paused to admire the quiet splendor of the season.

A familiar Mountain never gets Old

Some hikes don’t need grand destinations or dramatic views — they just need to feel right. This solo trip from May 2026 was one of those satisfying days on a mountain I’ve climbed countless times. The route makes little logical sense, the summit is often crowded, and the descent rarely cooperates with photography. But none of that matters when the scrambles feel just challenging enough, and the path just satisfies.

‘An der Schwelle zum Tag’ / ‘On the threshold of the day’ #FotoVorschlag

Today’s topic of the #Fotovorschlag reminded me immediately about our sunrise-tour that I did in 2023 with two colleagues. I don’t do a lot of sunrise photos — but this is the one with the most emotions and memories 🙂

This image shows a stunning landscape of mountains and clouds. The sky is a deep blue color, and it is filled with fluffy white clouds. The mountain range is expansive, with jagged ridges creating an impressive backdrop to the sky. Towards the bottom of the image, a foggy valley can be seen with mountains and trees. The summits of the mountains are illuminated by the bright sun, and the shadows of the clouds stretch out across the landscape. The scene is peaceful and tranquil, and the majestic beauty of nature is displayed in its full glory.

Chasing Sunrise: An Early Morning Adventure

Embarking on a sunrise hike at an unearthly hour, this adventure unveiled the beauty of pre-dawn darkness evolving into the soft glow of morning twilight. Challenges, rain, and fleeting moments of photography added depth to the experience, ultimately affirming the rewarding nature of embracing early morning’s enchantment.

‘Führende Linien’ #FotoVorschlag / Leading Lines

For today’s #Fotovorschlag, the theme is ‘Leading Lines’. One of the first photos that came to mind was a bridge I have visited multiple times — a structure that inspired my ongoing Alpine Bridge Collection.

Bike and Hike on new Trails to a Familiar Summit

Every day, I see my nearby mountain range, but it wasn’t until recently that I combined biking and hiking on the less-explored southern trails. Starting early with my bike and camera, I faced steep climbs and unexpected descents, discovering joyful moments, challenging terrain, and rewarding summit views on a quiet, memorable journey.

Finding Beauty in Familiar Places

After a busy work schedule, I finally embarked on a leisurely local walk to unwind. Without the pressure of breathtaking vistas, I aimed to appreciate the simplicity of my surroundings and capture a bit of the beauty that often goes unnoticed.
