  1. I had a wonderful time this past week in Switzerland. It doesn't matter the season, I just love visiting the Alps.

    Plus I got to visit a friend in Alsace and do some stationary/pen shopping in Bern. It was solid trip.

    “📉 KEY FINDINGS

    • At +1.5 °C, ~100,000 glaciers survive
    • [They] identif[ed] “Peak Glacier Extinction”:
    – ~2041 at +1.5 °C (~2,000 glaciers lost per year)
    – ~2055 at +4 °C (~4,000 glaciers lost per year)
    🏔️ THE ALPS
    • At +2.7 °C, only ~110 glaciers remain by 2100.
    • At +4 °C, this drops to just ~20.
    Can you imagine the Alps with almost no glaciers left?...”

  3. 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. ✨

  4. While at some forums #tcrno11 was mocked about certain shortcomings, it seems to be highly popular compared to other events.
    #AlaskaDivide has only 8 riders and 2 pairs. #TheAlps around 30.
    Only #Transsibirica has around 200...

  5. Autumn makes transience so clear. Every year, when the hot summer draws to a close and you don't really want it to end, it comes back. And each time it overwhelms you with its impressive colors. The cool air hints at the approaching winter and also awakens a little anticipation of what is to come. 🍁🌬️❄️

    Valais is even more enchanting than usual in the fall, don't you think? 🧡

  6. The Alps and what you encounter there on the mountain is not always beautiful. Many sins of construction and old buildings simply remain standing and are left to their own devices.

    A little more minimalism in the mountains and the “make new from old” approach would perhaps do some good sometimes.

  7. Thanks @hairylarry.

    Yes, interesting stuff. They say it is based on the '#Maloya' (a powerful percussion-based and African-rooted style) and '#SégaLontan' (accordion-based Reunionese 'chanson') traditions from #LaReunion and #IndianOcean.

  8. No matter how many times you climb a mountain, it always feels a little different. The weather, the season, the company – it all makes every hike so unique!
    We'd already been up the Tour d'Aï in summer, but it was just as incredible the second time around. The play of clouds and the incredible splendour of the flowers made this day truly unforgettable.

  9. Good morning and happy #Thursday. It was raining a lot during the nightand now there's a wonderful atmosphere outside. The clouds and wafts of mist change every minute and the air is so fresh and clear.

    It's a shame I have to sit down at the laptop now.

  11. You don't have to see everything to see how beautiful it is. ✨

    A magical day at Tour d'Aï. The clouds only revealed a little, never all, and it was like an ever-changing puzzle. The gaps in the clouds drew our attention to very specific details that we would probably never have noticed in pure sunshine.

    Nature truly is the greatest artist.💚

  12. Oft braucht es nicht viel, um mich glücklich zu machen. Eigentlich gar nichts, ausser die Natur um mich herum. 🥰

  13. I miss the mountains. This is Oeschinensee in Switzerland. One of my favorite hikes so far in Europe.

    The Alps still have heavy snow with lots of roads and passes closed till June, but in about a month Lisa and I are headed to hike in the Dolomites which should be epic.

    The last time I was there was fall a year and a half ago, so it will be cool to see them in late spring.

  14. Oeschinensee, Switzerland, was by far the best hike we did this year, and I'm excited to go back again in 2024.

    The weather was iffy on our trip, almost all rain, but I'm super happy with how this photo turned out. It's my current wallpaper for my desktop and laptop.
