Shapes, Textures, and the Beauty of Decay
A beautiful hike, no grand vistas – just memories and details. A simple fragment of the forest, rich in texture, unexpectedly captivating. Perhaps imperfect, but still worth sharing.

For #MountainMonday: A photo from way back in 2013: wildflowers and a view of the Tatoosh Range from Mazama Ridge in Mount Rainier National Park, Washington State, USA. While Rainier gets all the attention, I almost preferred photographing the Tatoosh during my trips down there.
Jordan Pond and Penobscot Mountain from the Bubbles, Acadia National Park, Mount Desert Island, Maine. April 1981.

July 22, 1983: I took my third and final break of the day about four miles past Neys Shelter at Auburn Lookout, the sole viewpoint from the Appalachian Trail all day. It was a rock outcrop hanging high above Port Clinton village and a long curve of the Schuylkill River Valley.
Guten Montagmorgen an alle hier!
Gestern war ein kleiner Ausflug ins "Nachbardorf" angesagt. Abendrot und Föhnfische haben für eindrückliche Stimmung gesorgt. Balfrin, Riedgletscher und Nadelgrat vom Norden her gesehen.
The last 10 days were wild:
- skied for ~36 hours across 7 days
- taught a Spanish woman how to ski
- tried climbing on overhanging glacier ice
- spoken to a girl with an impressive FIS rating
- almost accidentally visited mountain rescuers at Tuyuk-Su camp, at night with that Spanish woman
- helped a little French girl on a beginner slope while practising French
- hired an instructor for the first time in 14 years, and learned the carving technique
- had the first notable ski collision in 14 years of skiing, at my fault but it's mostly fine
- talked to many cool competitive skiers and trainers at the hostel
- bought lots of cool gear for myself and teammates at Decathlon's Nowruz -20% sale
- ate very little because restaurants are only open when slopes are open
