It doesn’t matter what it is. All that matters is what you make of it.

I am currently listening to some Jeff Buckley and stumbled upon this old image. Edited it. And here we go. One fine morning in the Dolomites...a good 5 or 6 years ago.

A beautiful late-day moment in a Dutch forest. I was there all by myself and thoroughly enjoyed the calmness and beauty of the place.

A little iPhone shot from my current workshop at ‘Horizonte’-Festival at Zingst, Germany. A great group of photo enthusiasts I have here. Wonderful! Tomorrow I will be presenting ‘inspiration is everything’. Really looking forward to it.

A touch of colour in the trees. Sometimes a few meters high is high enough for a drone. #photo #colour #drone

A short ‘hello‘ from my current photo workshop in the North of Spain. We are having a fantastic tour so far. Visiting stunning places at Basque Country, Asturias and today even Galicia. The image features my local co-guide and friend Aritz Atela posing for this quick phone Test shot.

It can hardly get any more dramatic than in this scene. Wave action? Check. Waterfall backwards? Check. Ruins of the past? Check. #photography #seascape

Sometimes it is crazy what you get to see when being outside. For example, how the weather changes over the far away ocean.

Getting to Lofoten for that trip was a nightmare with emergency landing, cancelled flights and ferries due to storm (and the only time I ever filled up the ‘bags’ during the shakiest flight in my life). But after the storm passed, that morning was mind blowing. #sunrise #lofoten #photography

Why did you have to go this way? (Madeira 2024) Thick clouds moved in and obscured visibility, causing me to lose direction. That´s when stories unfolded. I collected moments and tales, including one about a tragic departure that left one behind mourning. #photography #moody #woodlands #fog

You never forget your first time. This was the first time I witnessed the #aurora dance in front of my eyes. I will never forget this deeply moving experience. At first it gave me goosebumps, than it jerked me to happy tears. What a night. #photography #nature #northernlights

I scrolled by a few ‘top 9’ the last couple of days. And when I uploaded an image to my Instagram www.instagram.com/kaihornung I realized ‘boy, you hardly posted more than 9 images this year’. I have to say being slower on Social Media doesn't feel that bad, actually.

Benny and the Joons (2017) It was 2019 when I started writing for a project which at some point formed into ‘a book’ in my head. In said book I wrote about backstories to images like this one. Then came new projects and a new book idea. Maybe some day I will pick that back up and finish.

It’s right before Christmas. The time when it’s usually getting a bit hectic, to get the last things done. If you have the time to stop by right now: let me treat you with these abstract #aerial #photographs.
