The soul of the Alps by StefanHefele

What is it that makes the Alps and mountains so fascinating? For sure it´s their unimaginable dimensions. The depth, the expanse. The dangers involved stimulate and challenges our primary instincts. But the sheer beauty that a mountain massif radiates is hard to put into words and will fulfill me in 2016 even more intensive.
Join me on this adventurous path.

Woods of Dreams by StefanHefele

“Woods of Dreams” – Azores

Even forests have their own magical charisma on the Azores. The thick soft and mossy ground combined with the fresh vegetation makes it very unique. I explored this woods while discovering some remote mountainous parts of Sao Miguel.

Night Affair by StefanHefele

“Night Affair” – Azores

I felt like an astronaut here, 350m above the crater lake in the twilight of the dawning day. If you ever have planned to visit the Azores: Do it! The variety of different sceneries on a very compressed space is a feast for body and mind.

The luscious Grotto by StefanHefele

“The luscious Grotto” – Azores

There are still locations that are not mentioned in the (German) tourist guides but are definately worth a visit. I was thrown back into the Columbia River Gorge as I entered this green cathedral. Lush, green, mossy and everywhere sounds of nature around me. One of my favourite natural landscapes to take photos beside mountains.

Creatures of the Sea by StefanHefele

“Creatures of the Sea” – Azores

The sea is not only water. It´s much more. It´s canvas, inspiration and sometimes even alive.

Primeval Woods by StefanHefele

“Primeval Woods” – Azores

In the depths of the volcano-gorges true natural treasures slumbers.
As I clambered on the big green marbles in a landscape dipped in hazy light I soaked in the energy of the moment to share it with you.

Winter Fairytale by StefanHefele

“Winter Fairytale” – Neuschwanstein Castle – Bavaria
m
I continue with the winter wonderland. Did I mentioned that this castle represents an incredible inspiration?! Not only Disneyland took it as a model. It is probably the most famous object of Germany. Not undeserved.

The Winter Empire by StefanHefele

“The Winter Empire” – Bavarian royal Castles

Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the man-made objects that fits like a painting into the landscape. Created by the eccentric King Ludwig II, it stands for genius, fairy tales and also madness.
Covered with the first snow that was a fantastic introduction to the winter season for me.

Trois Cornes by StefanHefele

“Trois Cornes” – Haute Savoie – French Alps

Fantasy or reality? At some places these opposites blurs. Unless you witnessed the magic with your own eyes.
