Just walked in the door after 24 hours of travel. Been up in the Lofoten islands for the last week. More photos coming tomorrow and the next days. But for a quick teaser of things to come: snow, snow, a bit more snow, and maybe some snow…

I was walking to the bakery this morning and I got the feeling that something wasn’t right. Took me a minute to figure it out, that the sun was shining and even a few birds were singing. Spent the past weekend down in Regensburg, but the camera never made it out of the backpack. On Friday I will be “flying into winter” for a few days, more when I get back.
Picture: Auerbach Rathaus (city hall).

Driving around yesterday I came across a few wind turbines in a farm field. The pictures don’t really show just how big these things are, but they are huge (for those that have never stood beneath one). The turning of the blades makes this ominous sounding ‘swooshing’ sound.

Today was a nice day of spring weather, which means that within 10 minutes any combination of: sun, rain, hale, or snow is possible, and most likely all of them. Even heard a rumble of thunder at one point, which sent me off chasing one of the storm front hoping to catch some lightning, but only managed to find wind and hale.
Passed this hunting stand on the road. 16 stops on ND for something around a 3 minute exposure.

Somewhere beneath the clouds should be Hohes Brett and the southern part of the Göll Massif as seen from Jenner. I hope to have time to do a multi day through hike over this area in the summer or autumn.

Clearing storm on a beautiful Sunday morning down in Berchtesgaden national park a few weeks back. The peak in the center of the photo is Knittelhorn (2015m), the pass towards the right is the border with Austria and the Reiteralm group.

A few sunrise photos from down in the Allgäu last autumn. I wish I had done a time lapse of the fog as it cleared, was totally cool looking.

While it’s nice to take photos of snow, it’s not so nice to take pictures in snow. Saturday, from the other week down in Berchtesgaden. Didn’t shoot much, as you can see, the visibility wasn’t all that good…
