For #FootpathFriday I chose an underground footpath that we followed during our vacation.
Not the type of adventure if you're a bit claustrophobic, but I really like such caves.

Enjoy!

Good morning from my morning walk.
I see snow in the mountains. I've had my bike and hike up there a couple of weeks ago.

One more memory from the Bayerischer Wald . Aaaand: this is one of the reasons why we like this region: it's so lush green and vivid and ... not so steep. The vegetation is just different. And so it's simply another kind of experience.
And that spot was just .. beautiful. The stream, the little path, the green, the light, the ferns, ... It's a good spot to just stand still and enjoy.

I found some unposted photos from a vacation in the Bayerischer Wald. I think about blogging about it. 🤔

Well, just wanted to share this one with you.

Enjoy, have a good night and may the light guide you 😉

Let's start a #silentsunday on the couch. Delving into memories of beautiful mountain hikes in autumn.
Sitting there in the warming sun would be great now. Just that it wouldn't be smart for me today. But autumn isn't over yet 🫰.

Enjoy your Sunday!

Do you ever cleanup your followers? I recently noticed quite a couple of moved accounts and wondered if I should care 🤔

Take Action - Hands Off Nature

Powerful polluting industries and their political allies are dismantling Europe’s environmental laws - trading our health and future for profit and power.

These reckless attacks threaten our clean drinking water, safe food, fresh air, and healthy nature. They fuel pollution linked to cancer, respiratory diseases, and other serious health risks - all decided behind closed doors without our consent.

'Pilze' #FotoVorschlag
A couple of years ago, I saw this cluster of fungi along the way. There's so much beauty along the trails. Sometimes we simply don't see it.

There are some really good #nature photos in there!

Things that work on entertainment networks: rage bait, nudes, provocation

Things that work on the Fediverse: a snap of my wife's crochet project

Yeah, it seems to be that easy... 😉

Wife has finished her #Crochet Projekt.
The wreath is made of wood, the rest is wool.
It looks pretty cool!

Uff, not going to become a fan of the #dune movies. 😞

#OpenCNC3D: Command & Conquer 64 kommt als Fan-Remake auf PC und Mac

Just reviewed some more "old" photos and videos and found some more unpublished hiking clips.
THis is from the Bayerischer Wald / Bavarian Forest, where we were hiking along the border to the Czech Republic.

(And I need to feed my #peertube server a bit - as long as there's some free space :-D)

My contribution to the #Fotovorschlag 'Fließendes Wasser' / 'flowing water' is one of my best photos.

I was just super lucky that the stairs were so flooded, that I took the tripod with me (despite not knowing whether I'd need it) and my wife having the patience to wait patiently for the whole photo-session.

Enjoy :-)

Maybe the last photo I'm sharing from my recent blog post. I'm quite happy that I moved around the lake so far that I got the stone as a foreground!

I hope you enjoy the view. Also check out the blog post:

One more photo from the hike, I wrote about on my blog.

It's not the best photo, but - if I remember correctly - it was the first time I saw a black salamander in the wild. So it's more for my memories. But .. they don't seem to be very common, I just wanted to share it with you.

One more photo of a chamois that I posted just on my recent blogpost.

I wouldn't have seen them if two hikers wouldn't have told me to go further than I had planned. I just wanted to go to a certain place when they showed up and told me to go there ... well. Thanks for the tip you unknown hikers!

A clip that I found yesterday in my "unprocessed" folder. Just a couple of seconds #hiking in the #mountains.

Enjoy
