�� Unpopular Opinion: I'm helping our winters remain the same by NOT doing winter sports (again) this year. Imagine how beneficial (for nature) it would be if hundreds of thousands of people didn't go skiing ok the mountain / glacier for one season.

After a festive Saturday night that involved plenty of Spanish cousine, I had to somehow “extract� that huge paella I ate (among other things). My apologies for the very simple story. This is my paella photo I suppose. Have a great week everybody.

I don't snap photos of landscapes so often anymore. But I don't mind, I got a little baby girl to take care of, so I'm focusing more on her portraits this year.

5 years ago, my life changed forever. Moved from the sea to the mountains, because I chose to. Ever since then, everyday I look up, I feel more grateful to be closer to the elements. In a place where seasons do change, and you feel that change in your skin. Always with a camera on me.

Taking photos and making videos is a process that takes time. Sometimes too much time. It involves frequent stops, adjust settings, adjust lenses and whatnot. Most of the time, the person caught up in all this is my girl. And I end up following her all the time. So I have to make it up to her somehow. Take a nice photo of her, upload it on Unsplash and blast it across socials. Trust me, if she’d let me, I’d take more photos of her. She’s camera shy for the time being.

The way the mountain was already too long. With snow and pulling a sled, it tends to last longer. And it did, because I stopped every 10 minutes to film or take a shot. My girlfriend was not amused. Not at all.

The title in German translates to “Tyrol is exciting�. It’s a clearly German expression for amazement or extravagance. Just like watching a great film in the cinema; hence the “Kino�. If you ask me, Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones could have easily used the Austrian landscapes for several scenes. Oh well, at least we got James Bond. Not the same tho… (fanboy-ing so hard right now).

For me winter is how nature “resets� it’s colorful pallet. Therefore in order to mess with nature (a bit), I dropped back and waited for my girl to move in the right spot. Didn’t tell her anything just slowed down while walking behind her. 1 shot - honest to God.

Taken shortly before sunset after a thunderstorm in the mountains. The anglo of the sun was shallow enough to accentuate the ‘boiling’ nature of the cloud formations

A 2 hour drive was about to reach it’s end, and just as we enter the city I look up to the traffic light and see this. I drive back home, dump the car, grab the camera and my bike, pedal for about 6 minutes and boom. 1 shot 1 kill. I swear. Apparently I was so excited for this and I left my car door “slightly� open.

Mountains made me fall in love with photography and photography made me fall in love with the mountains. This never seizes to amaze me. Here we are, officially in spring and there’s still plenty of snow to go around. I will be keep on being amazed for many years to come for sure. I mean, what do you expect from a Greek guy moving from the blue beaches to the white mountains?

It’s starting to feel like summer. Well… Austrian summer vibes. Snow is only above 1500-2000m and you ca see some green pine trees. Yeah. Welcome to the Alps. Did I mention that I can see that from my porch or did I just ruin the magic for y’all?

Photography is all about timing. Even if that means spending 25 minutes, in the early morning, waiting for the right moment. My hot cup of tea actually became ice tea after that. Yeah, that cold.

The world we live in is a live canvas with a new painting every moment. I am happy to have a camera and capture that brief moment for eternity. In the grand scheme of things this might be nothing, but it’s everything.

That lack of snow made the sunrise over the mountains a bit more colorful. One extra reason to get up at early in the morning. Note to self: Buy a proper tripod.

Never thought I ‘d be writing little stories for my photographs, because I always thought they tell their own story. Which is different for everyone that might look at them. As much as I don’t trust water in it’s icey or snowy form, I love this vista. Peaceful, calm and serene. Click.

It could be anything. An old camera, a place, your house, your dog and ultimately your self. Just let go. It took me years to realize it, and had to go through some educating moments and situations to understand it. That’s what I am being reminded every time I take one of these nature landscape photos. Letting go brought me to the mountains. Letting go brought me here.

This photo was taken during a hike to a few small houses in the mountains near the city of Innsbruck, Austria in the Karwendelgebirge.

I can almost feel summer coming. I also feel blessed living in Austria and being surrounded by these “giants�. I just can’t have enough of this… Especially when I get on higher ground.

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.
