On my way to the airport to catch an early morning flight. Leaving home and waiting for my train to arrive, and maybe I’m already spotting my plane there?

Mountain Views in Zugspitz Area
Image
I have good friends in Texas which think that there are no mountains in the Alps: at the time when they visited Switzerland, there were no mountains visible because of low clouds :-(. So their believe is that all the mountains I show are created with Photoshop! To prove that they are wrong (or that I indeed have good Photoshop skills), a collection of mountains from the Austrian mountain tours the past week:
Trail towards the Sonnenspitze
Mountain Lake Views

Lakes are the gems of the Alps. Most lakes have been carved out by glaciers during the last ice age, around 10’000 years ago. Their beauty depends on the view-point, angle and position of the sun during the day. So here is a view collection of wonderful lakes from this week:

Sunset Light on Zugspitze

The weather cleared up, after some rain in the morning. Getting up early for hiking on beautiful trails, including climbing parts in the southern Zugspitz mountain area. My training level is very low as I had no practice this year yet due all the work load. With the result that at the end of the day, I’m very tired with my muscles burning. But I’m full of memories from this wonderful day in the mountains. And this got topped with a beautiful golden sunset. Instead sharing pictures from the tour, I share pictures from the end of the day…
Zugspitze Sunset
Rainbow Valley

It was a day with rain and clouds in the mountains. In the evening, when we returned to the bottom of the valley, the clouds broke up and a wonderful rainbow marked the end of that day.

Butterfly Collection

Hiking through the Austrian Alpine regions let me believe that each valley has its own species of butterflies. So I apologize that I don’t know them by name, but I can share pictures:
Wildflower Collection

Hiking through the Alps means watching beautiful mountains. But the small and tiny wildflowers are even more beautiful. So here is a small from today…
