This weekend we visited the Hoellentalklamm (Hell Valley Gorge) in Bavaria to do a little hiking. The weather on Saturday was perfect and we had such an awesome day outside…what a beautiful area!
Summertime is here and I couldn’t be happier about it. Even on the hottest days, I will take it over dreary winter. I’ve spent time hanging out with friends, eating in biergartens, visiting with cool animals and cooling off in the mountain lakes. Looking forward to the next few warm weeks before autumn sets in. (Although don’t get me wrong, fall is also one of my favorite times of the year!)
Here are a view glimpses of this summer…
After our visit to beautiful Lake Garda, my husband and I drove North through the Dolomites (Val di Fuenes) and then onward t’ward Neukirchen in Austria. It was probably one of the most beautiful drives we’d ever been on and I wish we could have spent a week in this area alone taking it all in. Unfortunately we were a little pressed for time, so I didn’t get to explore quite a much as I would have liked to.
I know I say this a lot, but these photographs don’t truly do this area of the world any justice. I guess I feel that way often when photographing mountain landscapes. I think it’s difficult to capture the majestic feeling you get when you are actually standing there and it takes an amazing photographer to do so….
Anyhow, gave it my best and here are a few images from our drive. Hope you enjoy…
Even though Munich is only a short drive away from the Italian boarder, we had yet to make it down there in the 5 years I have lived here. Until last week that is. We finally made a little roadtrip down to Lake Garda and what we saw did not disappoint. It is so beautiful there, I think my photos hardly do it any justice!
We camped just outside the small town on the Northwest side, Limone sul Garda. We wandered the small streets, ate gelato, swam, paddleboarded, and of course drank wine…it was perfect. Looking forward to our next visit already.
