Spring is a great time for ski touring when the return of long hours of daylight, nice weather and warm temperatures allow to travel fast and far. But spring also brings the water back to streams, dries out the rock faces and makes the air rise in thermals. Lots of opportunity for all kind of adventures. After many months of cold and darkness I'm usually keen to move on to warm weather activities. The skis stay at home.
Up high views appear of peaks and glaciers in every direction. A vast landscape of snow and rock where we humans are nothing but temporary specks. Even our tracks will disappear in a short time.
I wanted to capture vastness and bright light and put us humans in perspective. To keep up with my skiing buddies I just brought the light kit lens and left filters and tripod behind. Not ideal for a focused photo session! My way to compensate is to take way too many pictures. As always in such circumstances the best ideas come when I edit and sort through the photos back at home. Oh well, its a good learning exercise.
