Good day,

Ever notice how a mountain has no need of saying a word? It simply is, and that says everything.

Be everwell.

Above the lake on the right, and the forest that spans the image, a rocky slope ascends to a peak with a jagged summit. The sky is cloudy and contrasts with the peak's light stone.

The image looks through red leaves to a slope that's almost entirely rock, but that dwarf pines cling to in places. That slope, which is bathed in sunlight, climbs to a shear spire beneath a mostly clear sky, it's walls pyramidal monoliths.

Through autumn colors of larches that are mixed with pines, the view looks across a deep valley at a towering peak with snow on its flanks. The sky is partly cloudy.

The view looks across an autumn field of grass and over dwarf pines to take in a sweeping vista that begins with a towering peak of rock, its geologic layers obvious, erosion creating a vast debris field lower on its flanks. Into the distance on the left, those same geologic layers are continued in other formations. The sky is mostly clear.

    New long term photography project: Timefade — prints and animations documenting alpine places and their changes over decades or a century.

    First place completed: Breslauer Hütte and the glaciers of the Gurgler Range. Two images from the same location, separated by 103 years: 1923 and 2026.

    The hut was built in 1882 and has undergone several restorations and extensions. The major peaks from left to right: Großer Ramolkogel, Hinterer Spiegelkogel, Firmisanschneide, Schalfkogel, all between 3400-3550m

    The shrinkage of the glaciers in this view might seem rather small for a time span of a century, but it's worth remembering that most of the volume losses have only been during the past 25-50 years and the melting process itself is exponential and accelerating... Secondly, for a size/scale reference: On the rightmost glacier (Diem-Ferner), the elevation difference between the top edge of the side moraine and the glacier creek is now >100 meters (more than a 30 storey building)...

    It might only be two photos (some more are already in progress), but production involved several weeks of library research (see below) of suitable locations and images, feasibility studies on old & current maps trying to determine photo spots, lenses and viewing angles from where the original pictures were taken, travel and hiking logistics, then taking dozens of photos from different candidate points in situ. Back home after the shoot: Testing different candidate images for best match/alignment potential, tweaking and fine tuning their perspectives, video editing...

    Image credits:

    The 1923 photograph (author unknown) is from the AKON vintage postcard collection of the Österreichische National Bibliothek: akon.onb.ac.at/#id=AKON_AK097_

    The 2026 photograph is by me, taken 24/06/2026 (for future reference)

    More about the larger project in the thread below...

    Alt...Cross-fade animation between two photographs of Breslauer Hütte and the mountain peaks and glaciers of the Gurgler Range in the background. One photo is from 1923, the other from 2026. Both images are aligned as best as can be, the cross-fade better highlighting the drastic changes (climate change) to these glaciated peaks.

        “Mountains, Morning Light” — Morning light, mist and clouds on Beinn Dearg, Isle of Skye.

        As a person who has spent a lifetime exploring California’s High Sierra Nevada, I have seen a lot of rugged, alpine scenes. “My” mountains typically require me to climb to near or above 10,000′ to see scenes like this. But here in Scotland, on the Isle of Skye specifically, the mountains rise from essentially sea level. While the peaks are all below 4000′, they nonetheless present the same alpine scenery I find among the highest peaks in the Sierra…more: gdanmitchell.com/2026/07/03/mo

                  Good day!

                  This little cascade was in a truly magical location, and not one a person would associate with Montana.

                  No big mountain, no sweeping vista. Instead, a tiny stream in a narrow gulch. I doubt there’s anyone local who knows this exists.

                  But now you know.

                  Be everwell.

                  A small stream cascades through lush grass and around mossy rocks in a wood with dense vegetation, the intensity of the green soothing.

                                              A full Moon moonrise over the sandstone formations. A shot like this requires prep - clear sky, full Moon phase, and it should have the right angle (azimuth) during the moonrise.

                                              I added a Moon planner to PhotoSignal. It allows you to inspect Moon phases, and shows moonrise and moonset azimuth.

                                                Good day!

                                                I hope I never take my landscape for granted. Even when focused on the foreground, the forest and mountains make their presence known.

                                                For those who aren’t so fortunate, I want that to always be the case. I know what it is to have nature at a distance.

                                                Be everwell.

                                                A rock outcropping dominates the top of a small mound on the side of a mountain. Around it are pines. Lower are the tops of more pines. Through a gap in the forest it’s possible to see the broad valley and silhouetted mountains in the distance. The sky is partly cloudy.

A hand-painted sign reads “FIREWORKS CIGARETTES” along with “BB GUNS” and “NO LIMIT.” There is a faded “CLOSED” sign on the door and remnants of small triangular pennant flags above the structure. Grass and weeds grow around the building, and trees fill the background.
