Dancing Aspen Trees
Dancing in the sun - curved aspen trees
Here is one more from our recent trip to Colorado. In a small aspen grove near Telluride there are quite a few curved aspen trees. They look particularly beautiful and just like if they were inviting us to join them to dance and celebrate fall season in all its [...]
Leaf-Peeping in the Rocky Mountains
Colorful Colorado - enjoying the vibrant hues of autumn
We love to do "leaf-peeping" and we were really looking forward to this trip. It has been a decade now since our last trip to Colorado during fall season. But the Rocky Mountains are definitely one of the most scenic places during this time of the year. High and [...]
Sunset at the Alien Throne
Sky on fire after heavy rains
On our last photo trip, we did a lot of leaf-peeping in the Rocky Mountains, but we also spent some days in the Hanksville area, around Moab and in northern New Mexico. Steffen and I flew in from Frankfurt [...]
Geothermal Areas in Iceland
Boiling mudpots at sunset
This month's image was taken three years ago in late August, just a couple of hours after we had landed at Keflavik International Airport. Iceland's geothermal areas are incredibly fascinating and rich in color. There are not many clear springs and geysers, but you will hear fumaroles and [...]
Fjallabak in Early Summer
Enjoying the serenity
We returned to Iceland in early summer. This year's snowpack at Fjallabak Nature Reserve was above average and the main access routes were still closed when we arrived on the island. On June 22nd, mountain road F208 near [...]
Lupines at Stokksnes
Blooming Lupines at Stokksnes
This month's image was taken last year by the end of June. As you may notice, the lupine flowers were not in their full peak by then yet. Unusual cool weather in spring have resulted in a somewhat delayed bloom along Iceland's south and east coast. The lupines here at Stokksnes as well as the ones at [...]
Alstrom Point - Dramatic changes at Lake Powell
Sunset at Alstrom Point
This month's image was taken in spring 2019. Due to an ongoing extreme drought the water level of Lake Powell was already low by then. But things changed for the worse. Currently in May 2022, there would be hardly any water visible anymore in this type of image taken at Alstrom Point. Most marinas and [...]
Northern Lights Corona
COSMIC RAIN SHOWER
Whenever the Aurora Borealis lights up the night and starts dancing across the sky, it is not easy to stay focused on photography. It gets even worse as soon as the green bow moves towards the "highest point" on the celestial sphere and then - all of a sudden - bursts. You really feel immobilized seeing [...]
Aurora at Dimmuborgir
AURORA SWIRLS at DIMMUBORGIR
We spent the days around the turn of the year in Iceland and we were gifted with a nice northern lights show at Kirkjufell on Christmas Eve. But on most other nights the overcast skies and the severe gales were a bit of a challenge. The sun goes through an 11-year cycle and currently it is [...]
