Paper Birch
The bark is quite flexible and waterproof, making it a popular raw material. Paper birch bark is used in canoe construction, as well as clothing and waterproof coverings.
Also, the inner bark can be boiled and eaten. And it’s used medicinally.

Sieglinde
It was her 2nd cancer diagnosis, she was familiar with what was going to be expected from her physically. But wanted to still walk two little dogs herself. With a soft tremble in her voice she ask me would I walk with her. I said, yes.
Never miss a chance to be a friend. #black&white

Seneca-Letters to Lucilius
Seneca uses Autumn imagery more subtly. In letter 24, he compares human life to the changing season. Emphasizing that aging and death are as natural as the turning of the year.
Detach from what must pass. Release without distress.
Shedding of externals.

The Cycle of Change
Nothing stays static,why should we? Just as a tree shed their leaves to prepare for new growth, we too can release what no longer benefits us. Fall’s beauty lies in its impermanence, the fleeting colors, the cooling air, the promise of change.

Somewhere Else
I didn’t get a name, but I got a picture of the day the heavens open above you and I, that day the rain stopped and the sun shined on a Fall afternoon.
I’m sorry I didn’t get sour name.

Sweet Germany
Just a few miles from home, Duke pops up, he knows we are home.
Although subdued Germany greets me. It’s in stillness Germany unfolds it’s heart. Not in grand gestures, but with a steady presence. A change in the air, or a rainbow. I stop to appreciate the quiet things. #photography

Mondsee
I thought, I would end this series with my favorite lakes in the Salzkammergut.
Lake Mondsee is nestled between the striking peaks of the Drachenwand Massif and rolling hills of the surrounding area.
Kreisten, is there to remember those who drowned in an accident in the 18th hundreds.

Harpoint Observatory
Perched above Zell am Moos, the Harpoint site has low light pollution and clear alpine skies making it one of best stargazing spots in the region.
The small dome structure blends in with rural landscape, offing panoramic views of Irrsee and Mondsee lakes by day, stars by night.

Plötz Waterfall
A hidden gem, this idyllic waterfall is 25 meters high. It’s surrounded by a picturesque forest that provides pleasant shade during the summer. The waterfall is part of the Ebenau Mill Trail, which passes by several historic mills.

The Layers
Layers whisper where light meets shadow. Each one a quiet echo of depth, memory and motion unfolding like nature’s own secret.

Zell am Moos
I wanted to share with you where I stayed while in Austria. It was so cute, a small farm. The family lived on the first floor and I was on the second floor. It was quiet and peaceful also came with a wonderful view. Duke was also happy with the accommodation.
Happy Weekend 🪄💖✨#clip

Irrsee
Also know as Lake Zell,in the Salzkammergut, Austria. It’s a so called virgin lake, stretching 5 kilometers long an 1 kilometer wide. It’s a popular tourist destination, also thanks to the warmest water temperature of all lakes in Salzkammergut. #photography #nature #lake #austria #travel

There should be an unwritten law
that The Emerald Isle should only be shot on film. It’s those lush green landscape that write and sing about. The level of intensity can only be measured by film.

End of Summer
The remnants of summer waiting to be stored away.
A whisper of warmth lingers in the air.
A thinning chorus line from the bees and crickets.
The lake and the boys of summer lies still.But you hear them as they move further away,into a memory.That you hold before you packed them away

The Art of the Fall
The season speaks in metaphor. It is the poetry of maturity, of ripeness before decline, of memory before forgetting.
The art of the Fall is the bittersweet, the tension between holding on and letting go. Beauty often peaks just before it fades.
Autumn is a gallery without walls

One Night Stand
Not every story needs a sequel. Some are written in one breath, a single glance.
Life is made of what doesn’t last forever, but of what that can not be repeated.
