I took this photo on a hiking tour between Trockener Steg and Schwarzsee above Zermatt (the so-called Matterhorn Glacier Trail). I would assume that some decades ago this place was covered by a glacier.

Lagh da Palü is a lake below Piz Palü in the Swiss canton of Grisons/Graubünden. Elevation: 1,923 m. Water from Palü Glacier feeds into the lake and creates the typical green blue milky color. In 1926, a dam was built in order to use the lake as a reservoir.

Despite the stormy weather and clouds, it is impossible to deny the beauty of this town in the Austrian Alps. Hallstatt is nestled between the edge of Hallstätter and the towering Dachstein mountains. It is Austria’s oldest and possibly most photographed village. Definitely appears to be like a mirage in the Salzkammergut Lake Region. Hope everyone makes it there one day; don't let the weather scare you off!

I took this photo on a hiking tour between Trockener Steg and Schwarzsee above Zermatt (the so-called Matterhorn Glacier Trail). I would assume that some decades ago the vast scree and boulder fields were covered by a glacier.

Soglio, come molti altri villaggi alpini, è meravigliosa sintesi anche estetica di cosa significa vivere in montagna, nell'arco delle stagioni. Luogo emozionante.
Alpine syllabary
Soglio, like many other Alpine villages, is also a wonderful aesthetic synthesis of what it means to live in the mountains, over the seasons. Exciting place.

My wife and I were caught in a snow storm while travelling in the Austrian Alps. It was cold yet beautiful. Merry Xmas and Happy 2018 to all my FlickR friends!
Pas une ombre en vue,
neige vierge sous mes pas,
bleu profond, silence.
No shadow in sight,
virgin snow beneath my steps,
deep blue, silent peace.

Close to the village of Arsha in the Kazbegi region lies the Arsha Waterfall, about five kilometers from Stepantsminda Kazbegi. The hike to the waterfall is considered easy and typically takes three to four hours. The trail is unpaved but well-trodden, surrounded by lush meadows, and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The waterfall is one of the lesser-known natural attractions in the area, contributing to its untouched and serene atmosphere. A bit further along is the Toti Waterfall, accessible via a steep trail that passes above the Arsha Waterfall. This waterfall offers spectacular panoramic views and is an ideal spot for a picnic. Visitors can enjoy the tranquility, the breathtaking nature, and even take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear water. The hike to Toti Waterfall leads through a rugged mountain landscape with breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks and deep valleys. The trail winds along steep slopes and rocky paths, surrounded by dry grasslands and scattered shrubs. Along the way, impressive cliffs and natural formations add a unique character to the scenery. The fresh mountain air and the tranquility of nature make the journey an unforgettable experience. At the end, the spectacular Toti Waterfall awaits as a rewarding sight after the challenging climb.
This photo shows a beautiful view on the way back from Toti waterfall to Arsha waterfall. The golden autumn colours of the trees contrast beautifully with the rugged, rocky slopes and the snow-capped mountains in the background. The sun illuminates the leaves, giving nature an almost magical look. Such landscapes make the walk between these waterfalls impressive not only because of the water, but also because of the surrounding nature and the ever-changing views. A truly picturesque moment in the mountains!
Nabij het dorp Arsha in de Kazbek regio, ligt de Arsha-waterval, op ongeveer vijf kilometer van Stepantsminda Kazbegi. De wandeling naar de waterval wordt als eenvoudig beschouwd en duurt doorgaans drie tot vier uur. Het pad is ongebaand maar goed begaanbaar, omringd door weelderige weiden en biedt prachtige uitzichten op de omliggende bergen. De waterval is een van de minder bekende natuurlijke attracties in het gebied, wat bijdraagt aan de ongerepte en serene sfeer. Nog iets verder ligt de Toti-waterval, bereikbaar via een steil pad dat bovenlangs de Arsha-waterval loopt. De wandeling naar de Toti-waterval voert door een ruig berglandschap met adembenemende uitzichten op besneeuwde bergtoppen en diepe valleien. Het pad slingert langs steile hellingen en rotsachtige paden, omringd door droge graslanden en verspreide struiken. Onderweg zijn er indrukwekkende kliffen en natuurlijke formaties die het landschap een uniek karakter geven. De frisse berglucht en de rust van de natuur maken de tocht een onvergetelijke ervaring. Aan het einde wacht de spectaculaire Toti-waterval als beloning voor de inspannende klim. Deze foto laat een prachtig uitzicht zien op de terugweg van de Toti-waterval naar de Arsha-waterval. De gouden herfstkleuren van de bomen contrasteren schitterend met de ruige, rotsachtige hellingen en de besneeuwde bergtoppen op de achtergrond. De zon verlicht de bladeren, waardoor de natuur een bijna magische uitstraling krijgt. Dit soort landschappen maken de wandeling tussen deze watervallen niet alleen indrukwekkend vanwege het water, maar ook vanwege de omliggende natuur en de steeds veranderende uitzichten. Een echt schilderachtig moment in de bergen!

The valley of the river Reuss in the Canton of Uri (Central Switzerland) is the northern access to the Gotthard Pass, one of the major transit routes across the Alps (for both motor vehicles and railways). I took the picture between Altdorf and Erstfeld, when hiking on the so called "Via Gottardo".

But NO AWARDS, NO BANNERS, NO IMAGES, NO GROUP REFERENCES where you saw it, please.
The story behind the image:
Found this image in the 2016 archives. :) Some friends and me used to travel to the Alps every year for cycling in the mountain passes. With a 'base camp' in Bormio we conquered the surrounding passes (Gavia 2652m, Stelvio 2758m) over the long weekend. This shot was taken when descended from Passo Gavia back to Bormio, in the late afternoon hours. The DSLR was tied to my bike's handlebar. :)
On 1-2-June I'll be there again, now with a better photo gear...keep fingers crossed that we'll have the same wonderful weather!

Summits whisper low,
White glaciers kiss the deep void,
Silence in the air.
I took the photo from the train (Rhaetian Railway), when travelling from Chur towards Ilanz, Grisons, Switzerland. The Rhine gorge is largely inaccessible by road, but one can visit it by train or hiking. It is a popular location for rafting and kayaking.

Glacier en larmes,
Sous le ciel bleu de Vanoise,
La fonte murmure.

Beneath Vanoise’s blue skies,
The melt whispers low.
