There’s something about a sunstar over a glacier that hits me every single time. ❄️
That mix of cold air, crunching snow and this sudden burst of light feels like a tiny reward for being up here early.

Moments like this remind me why I keep coming back — they stay with you long after the day is over. ✨

i wanted to tell you: I'm going to visit the mountains!! inspired by hiking documentaries i watched while having a broken ankle and photography posts from a few people on here, i wanted to see the mountains. so i booked accomodations in the valley, got two weeks of time and I'm going to explore what is possible and fun for me.
it's the Garmisch and Tirol region, and it looks like there are plenty of #hiking and #biking options 🤩
