Hey guys - quick heads up: I'll remove this photo from my FineArtsAmerica Site, soon to give way to other photos.

If you think it would make up good as a Print, Poster, IPhone case, Pillow, ... don't think too long ;)

My nephew said he wanted to climb a mountain this visit. He said he wanted to be challenged. So I took him to Mt Whitney.

I almost finished my blog post about last week's hike yesterday but couldn't agree on a title. Now it's done:

https://www.franzgraf.de/blog/2024/springtime-in-alpine-meadows/

You probably know the #photos already - but I added a bit of a text as well. Btw do you think it could be more text? I always fear that a lot of text isn't ready anyways and ppl probably prefer videos.
(I mean - I also like videos with good voice and no text.. why shouldn't you do as well)

Enjoy!

Hey friends,
we are back from a day in the #mountains! We both didn't feel too well when starting but we did the tour as planned:

We came up to the peak (from where the photo was taken), went to the 2nd behind me, back around the 1st up to the 3rd visible in the center and cont'd to the 4th in the back right at the border of the photo.

And then back down. Mood was good as you can see 😊 we are now tired but well tanned.

A middle-aged man and a woman, both wearing backpacks, are standing in a lush grassy area. The man, is wearing glasses and a sun hat. The woman is also wearing a sun hat. They seem to be enjoying a sunny day outdoors, possibly hiking or exploring nature. The dominant colors in the image are black and pink, with accents of blue. The couple is smiling, and the woman's face is in a close-up shot. The man and woman are posing for a picture, possibly taking a selfie. The image conveys a sense of adventure and outdoor recreation.

Hey friends!

I finished the #photos from last weekend. This is directly from the start. And I admit, I had a pretty WOW feeling.

I'm not 100% satisfied as I wanted even more blur in the front. But still it's been one of the greatest views at the start of a hike I ever had.

Enjoy!

I couldn't resist and just give it a try and print the pano-version from our walk I wrote about here:

Yes - looks fine to me! matt paper was a good choice as well I'd say.

Feel free to drop me a message if you're interested.

Hello from my #lunchwalk
Usually the sheep don't come so close but this one was super brave 😉

Hey friends! We just came back from a great hike near #garmischpartenkirchen. We wanted to do this mountain recently but the snow in the upper part was too risky for us.

Today we went there again. Beautiful ascent, nice views. Some spray rain and a slippery, dirty descent. But at the end we even had some sun!

Now we feel tired and a bit sore 😉

A picturesque scene of a field filled with vibrant yellow flowers, bordered by lush green grass and a row of tall trees. In the distance, a cluster of buildings can be seen against a backdrop of a clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds. The dominant colors in the image are yellow and green, with accents of dark green. The landscape is expansive, with mountains faintly visible in the background. The image evokes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty, capturing the essence of a rural area in full bloom during springtime.

You receive a call on your phone.
The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraud.

"Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right?

The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank."

Your phone buzzes. You tap the notification This is what you see.

Still think it is a scam?

I'm done now with cleaning up the start page of my #photography website!

• removed the right panel
• changed the featured galleries to a slick one column display
• fixed the headline alignment
• moved the link to the archives at the end
• added another featured gallery to the overview that I just had FORGOTTEN 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

All that - knowing that really not a lot of people will visit it 😄

Anyways. Check it out and enjoy the tidier look.

Ohhh PEERTUBE - I think I'm there!

@hikingdude_hiking

86 videos imported and set up to sync with youtube! https://video.infosec.exchange/c/hikingdude_hiking/videos

I guess #peertube had a new #hiking channel. Feel free to follow there. I'll try to also link new videos here as well... Well ... Maybe I need to get myself sorted with peertube.

Please excuse any experiments - I just (re)started this journey. Constructive tips are welcome of course!

Hey friends! Two quick impressions from my evening walk. It's getting warmer - finally! and its Friday!
Tomorrow we'll go for a cycling ride - at least that's what we planned.

#landscape #bayern #spring #frühling #tgif

A serene scene of a lush green field under a clear blue sky, with fluffy white clouds floating overhead. In the foreground, a sturdy wooden fence stretches across the landscape, dividing the field into sections. The grass is vibrant and abundant, swaying gently in the breeze. The image exudes a sense of tranquility and natural beauty, with the fence adding a touch of rustic charm to the rural setting. This idyllic countryside landscape is perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape into nature, surrounded by the simplicity and beauty of the outdoors.

The Tesla cyber truck really is as badly constructed as everyone said. 😱

Front hood and a-pillar also display questionable uneven gaps between different panels

Just a tiny contribution to #earthday. I would like to say that the photo was planned - but it was just pure luck that I got it at this time of the day.

Enjoy!

Flying business class just is different.

Hey friends, it's snowing here and we even have the ground covered by snow!

My heart is already more into summer, that's also why I want to remind myself to this gorgeous hike in the #achensee region in the #rofan mountains.

It got really warm that day. But due to starting early and going up in the shades it only was a very nice day.

As promised, some short (1:23min) phone video impressions from Sunday's varied hike in the beautiful Ester Mountains[1] (mainly filmed during descent only, since the steep way up was mostly without any grand views)

Hiked more or less this route, but with start in Farchant and back to Garmisch.
Nice tour for the spring!
