I need to process the photos from my camera but here’s a quick one from my phone just to give you an idea… it was like being in another world! (A very, very humid world.)

      A white butterfly resting on a vibrant purple lavender stalk. It has small dark spots on its upper wing, and its fuzzy body and antennae are finely detailed as it clings to the flower stem.

The entire scene is set against a lush, soft-focused green foliage. The blurred, vertical blades of grass or leaves create a beautiful bokeh effect that makes the main subjects pop.

        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)

        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.

          Bookstore kitty! Saw this in a window and it couldn't have been sweeter🥰 🐈

          A color photo showing a tabby Cat sleeping in the window of a bookstore. You can see The top half of the kitty who's laying down sleeping with it's head on a stack of Books and one paw turned up so you can see all it's a little pink toe beans. It also has a pink collar on. The rest of the photo is very colorful with stacks of Books in bright green blue, yellow, and pink. The bottom right hand corner of the photo shows some of the lime green table that the Cat is resting on inside the window. And then a little dark green ledge which is on the outside of the window. The photo was taken through the window causing a little bit of glare on the left side

                Photinus pyralis, The Common Eastern #Firefly or locally known here as a “lightning bug”. These #bugs will start flashing around twilight in spring and #summer months in the eastern US. They certainly put on a show. Males will fly in a J-pattern while lighting their abdomens with light-activated proteins to attract females. Females who rest on bushes and trees nearby will flash back at them if interested in mating. I’m not sure if this one is a male or female since it was taken during the day but since it was a rather large one I’d guess female.

                      Endless Black Beach

                      The visibility was very good on that late October day. We'd parked at the top of Dyrhólæy and walked to the lighthouse while the wind was quiet, a rarity that week.

                      About 30 km/18.5 mi away was Steinafjall on the southern flank of Eyjafjallajökull. Leading up to it from our viewpoint were several black beaches in a line.

                      A sharp eye could even spot what was left of the Sólheimasandur DC-3 plane wreck, a white dot in the distance.

                      A colour photo of a beach scene. The sky is partly overcast but with areas of clear sky, and cloud shadows are across parts of the view. Sky to land ratio is roughly 50%. The surf line extends from bottom centre just below the viewpoint to middle centre in an almost straight line, splitting the lower half of the shot into two parts - sea and beach. The waves are white-capped and the sea looks dark but this is due to the underlying black sand. The beach gradually changes to yellow scrub grassland on the right, and the snouts of mountains can also be seen. There are patches of frozen water on the right, as well as scattered farm buildings.

Perched precariously on the roof of the lower section of the building is a large, metallic, silver flying saucer (UFO). It looks as though it has crashed into or landed on the edge of the structure.

The UFO sculpture, titled Zover ("So Far"), was created by artist Marc Ruygrok for an art exhibition in Utrecht and was left on the building permanently.
