Elsewhere, but close to home Colours, calm and a view A daily journey Inside a bubble where time has stopped The bike, a marvellous travelling contraption. #MTB #Valais #SwissAlps #Autumn #Photography #MountainBiking #AutumnColours #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #Switzerland #Alps
A mountain biker in a navy shirt, yellow shorts and helmet rides a turquoise bike along a narrow rocky singletrack, seen from just behind on the right. The trail crosses an alpine slope covered in autumn shrubs in vivid red, orange and green. Grey peaks rise ahead under a deep blue sky with a few small white clouds, and a glacier-capped summit shows between them. The photo sits in a white frame titled "Elsewhere."

Entremont and Val Ferret a gash carved into the Alps. Mont Blanc range to the right, the Combin massif to the left, and the valley pointing naturally toward Italy. #Entremont #ValFerret #SwissAlps #MontBlanc #GrandCombin #MountainPhotography #AlpineViews #Nature #Fujifilm
A wide alpine valley framed by autumn trees and steep mountain ridges. The Mont Blanc range rises on one side, the Combin massif on the other, with the valley stretching naturally toward Italy.

Evening light falling on a hillside above the village of Le Levron. Terraced meadows glow green, dotted with red, orange, and yellow autumn trees, while dark conifers fill the lower right. Behind, a steep forested slope fades into blue haze and shadow.

Val de Bagnes, Switzerland. Last parade before winter a warm palette feeding the longing for a thick white coat. #ValDeBagnes #SwissAlps #AutumnColors #MountainPhotography #NaturePhotography #AlpineViews #Fujifilm #LandscapeLovers #FallVibes #MontagnesSuisses #PaysageAlpin #OutdoorLife #weather
Autumn trees with orange and red leaves frame a wide alpine valley. Snow‑capped peaks rise in the background under a clear blue sky, contrasting with the warm colors of the foreground. The scene captures Val de Bagnes just before winter returns.

White dust near the summits. Through yellow meadows, water finds its way. A new cycle starts Winter around the corner. #AutumnMountains #SwissAlps #MeanderingStream #MountainPhotography #NaturePoetry #SeasonChange #Fujifilm #AlpineViews
A winding mountain stream flows through golden autumn meadows, with snow‑dusted peaks rising under a clear blue sky. The scene captures the quiet transition toward winter.

Exactly ! It’s something unique, the way the clouds is moving is different, the Colors, the solitude… I spent quite some time in Sierra Nevada and it is a very special place too. I found a similar feeling here in Switzerland!

Cotton clouds in motion, The ridge unfolding like a path, Val de Bagnes, a sumptuous garden. The sky is the limit. #ValDeBagnes #SwissMountains #HikingPhotography #MountainViews #OutdoorLife #NaturePhotography #Fujifilm #AlpineRidge
A hiker in an orange jacket stands on a rocky ridge overlooking the vast peaks of Val de Bagnes. Cotton‑like clouds move across a bright alpine sky, giving the scene a sense of openness and elevation.

Fall. Time seems to slow down, mountains grow quiet again. Let’s enjoy the last light before snow and cold settle in. #AutumnMountains #Chamois #SwissAlps #WildlifePhotography #MountainLight #NaturePhotography #Fujifilm #AlpineViews
Two ibex resting on a snowy slope with high alpine peaks in the background. The sky is bright with thin clouds, and the scene captures a calm autumn moment before winter returns.

Choices
A beautiful blue sky. Not a single cloud. An empty day ahead. Good weather forecast. Ok, maybe a bit too hot. I want to enjoy that time in the mountains, but I’m not exactly sure about what to do, …

It is not big, it doesn't stand above the other summits, but it is steep, beautiful and so challenging. Petit Clocher du Portalet. #PetitClocherDuPortalet #SwissMountains #AlpineClimbing #MountainPhotography #BlackAndWhite #RuggedPeaks #NaturePhotography #Fujifilm
A black‑and‑white photograph of the Petit Clocher du Portalet rising sharply among rugged alpine ridges. Dense clouds swirl around the pointed rock formation, revealing snow and glacier textures in the background. The steep, dramatic peak stands out despite not being the highest in the landscape.

A clear separation between glaciers and the lower valley floor, bordered by dramatic rocky summits. Accessible and well‑known, Val d’Arpette remains a place where you can end up alone. And enjoy the silence. #SwissMountains #MountainPhotography #BlackAndWhite #AlpineViews #NaturePhotography #Fuji
A black‑and‑white photograph of steep rocky summits rising above the lower valley floor in Val d’Arpette. Clouds drift around the peaks, highlighting the separation between the glacier zone above and the quiet valley below.

During a rainy day last September, the rocky summit of Pierre Avoi briefly emerged between the cloud. A glorious instant. #PierreAvoi #Valais #SwissMountains #MountainPhotography #BlackAndWhite #CloudsAndPeaks #NaturePhotography #AlpineViews
A black‑and‑white photograph of the Pierre Avoi summit emerging through thick clouds. The rocky peak stands sharply above the mist, creating a dramatic contrast between the rugged mountain and the swirling atmosphere.

I randomly ended up in front of this island to watch this partial eclipse, on the biggest Swiss lake shore. What a unique moment anyway, when the end of this alignment is actually a sunset. #SolarEclipse #Eclipse2026 #LakeGeneva #LandscapePhotography #SunsetLight #SwissLakes #Fujifilm
A partial solar eclipse over a calm lake at sunset. The crescent sun glows deep orange above the water, creating a bright reflection across the surface. A small island with a large tree stands in silhouette, surrounded by paddleboarders and a few anchored sailboats. The sky is warm and hazy as the rare alignment fades into the sunset.

Unique, rare, once or twice in a lifetime. A brief moment that becomes timeless. #SolarEclipse #Eclipse2026 #LandscapePhotography #LakePhotography #SunsetLight #SwissLakes #NaturePhotography #Fujifilm
A partial solar eclipse over a calm lake at sunset. The crescent sun casts a bright orange reflection across the water, while a small tree-covered island stands in silhouette. A few boats are scattered in the distance under a warm, glowing sky. The scene feels brief, rare, and quietly timeless.

92 % is almost a perfect alignment, yet not at all. Rare enough to unveil the magic of the moment, to make it unique and unforgettable. Eclipse. #SolarEclipse #Eclipse2026 #LakePhotography #SunsetLight #OutdoorPhotography #SwissLakes #Fujifilm #LandscapePhotography #Leman
A warm orange sunset over a calm lake with the sun partially covered by the moon. Two paddleboarders are silhouetted on the glowing water, with sailboats and a lone tree in the background. The reflection of the eclipse creates a bright path of light across the surface.

Why wait for golden hour when everything is already there? Wide shot from five frames with the 16‑55, stitched in LR. I always try to shoot before golden hour: do it, it’s often worth it. #ValDeBagnes #Mauvoisin #Switzerland #AlpineLight #Outdoor #Fujifilm #LandscapePhotography #PreGoldenHour
A small alpine lake sits in a green valley beneath rugged peaks with patches of snow. Late‑afternoon light warms the slopes and rocks, creating a bright, serene scene above Mauvoisin in Val de Bagnes.

Below Brenay Glacier, the ice is no more. Wandering rivers are questioning the near future. Definitely in love with the Fuji 16‑55 Mk II #Switzerland #Valais #GlacierRetreat #AlpineRivers #MountainPhotography #BlackAndWhite #OutdoorPhotography #Fujifilm
A black‑and‑white landscape shows braided meltwater channels flowing across a rocky valley below a retreating glacier. The textures highlight erosion and the absence of ice, creating a stark, dramatic scene.

It was supposed to be a simple bivouac… but the sunset was far from ugly. Altitude, colours, and silence, a parenthesis in this too‑hot summer. #Peru #Huayhuash #TwilightLight #MountainBivouac #OutdoorPhotography #HighAltitudeHiking #AndesMountains #SlowTravel
A small reflective lake sits in a grassy high‑altitude valley at twilight, with rugged mountains rising behind it. Soft pink and purple light from the setting sun colours the sky and casts gentle tones across the landscape.

Cerro Gran Vista is the highest point of the Huayhuash Circuito Alpino. But what matters far more than altitude is the view it offers: the colours, the 360° horizon, the contrasts… truly unique. #Peru #Huayhuash #GranVista #CordilleraHuayhuash #HighAltitudeHiking #AndesMountains #AdventureTravel
A hiker climbs a steep, colourful slope of brown and tan rock toward a high ridge, with patches of snow near the summit. The vast Huayhuash peaks rise in the background under a deep blue sky, creating a dramatic high‑altitude scene.

Remember Joe Simpson from “Touching the Void”? The guy with two broken legs crawling between crevasses. It was here, on Siula Grande, the steep summit slightly to the left. Hard to stand in front of these mountains without thinking of that story. #Peru #Huayhuash #SiulaGrande #TouchingTheVoid #Andes
A panoramic view of rugged snow‑covered peaks and glaciers descending toward a turquoise lake in the Huayhuash range. Brown rocky terrain in the foreground contrasts with bright white summits under a deep blue sky.
