Last weekend, we hiked in the Karwendel mountains. The plan was to hike a small trail to an Alpine meadow with a couple of huts and then return via a forest road. Despite some challenges, we enjoyed the autumn scenery and reflected on our experience along the way.
Recently, my wife and I visited the Munich Zoo, hoping to spot the young Lynx cubs we had heard about. Our journey included encounters with various animals, reflections on photography, and the joy of observing wildlife despite the cloudy weather.
In exploring a trail marked as “left open” on the map, I set out on a hike to assess its condition. Facing unplanned challenges and capturing the beauty of autumn, I reflected on the feasibility for cycling and my experience on an unmaintained pathway.
Two months ago, I set out on a dedicated photography trip to a waterfall that had long been on my mind. Previously, I had only hiked there, but this time I aimed to capture a good photo. Join me as I recount this adventure and the lessons learned along the way.
September brought a blend of cycling, hiking, and unexpected challenges. From testing rain gear during uncooperative weather to recovering from food poisoning, the month was quite varied. Despite the hurdles, I managed to explore beautiful trails and enjoy local sights.
After a bout of food poisoning left me reflecting on my activities, I realized how little I remembered from hours spent scrolling through Instagram. As a photographer, this insight hit hard. Social media’s quick-scroll culture feels like a drain on mental energy, leaving little room for meaningful memories or lasting impact.
Two weeks ago, we ventured into the Karwendel mountains for a scenic loop hike. Starting early to avoid the heat and crowds, we encountered an unexpected neighbor and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. However, the drastic weather changes that followed serve as a reminder of nature’s unpredictability.
At the start of September, I set out for a bike and hike in the Karwendel mountains. However, an unexpected discomfort led to a change in plans. Instead of the anticipated adventure, I enjoyed a leisurely walk around a nearby lake, discovering potential photo spots along the way.
Recently, my wife purchased a small guidebook featuring Saturday walks around Bad Tölz. With her back giving her trouble, we opted for a gentle stroll along the Bodensee-Königssee Cycling Way. The walk offered beautiful views and photo opportunities, yet I was left pondering the light’s impact on my captures.
August brought warm summer days filled with outdoor activities, reading, and photography. While I reduced my social media time, I explored local trails, captured a nearby waterfall, and accompanied friends on adventurous hikes. Join me as I recount a month of discovery and personal reflection.
