Last night at 2000m. There are not many places left in the #alps with low light pollution. Where is your go-to dark sky spot? #astrophotography #darksky

The bright core of the Milky Way galaxy shining over a dark silhouette of alpine mountain peaks, with a calm lake reflecting the starry night sky in the foreground. And a glacier.

Fitz Roy (3406 m), Patagonia — this is why I carry a camera everywhere. Clouds forming, breaking, and racing past the peaks, the drama shifting every minute. This is why I shoot timelapse. 🎥 #Timelapse #Patagonia #FitzRoy #AdventurePhotography #LandscapePhotography

❄️ Visited #Hintereisferner for a video project — a #glacier in Tirol’s Naturpark Ötztal ranging from 2,500–3,750 m. It holds one of the world’s longest records of glacier mass balance, a key to understanding climate change in the Alps. 📸 Film coming soon.

Pollinators are in global decline—yet we depend on their ecosystem services, from healthy ecosystems to food security. Visualizing them shows what’s disappearing—and why we must act to protect them. 🌸 Protect pollinator habitats, protect our future. European Environment Agency: tinyurl.com/yc4pp3ps

Check out this time-lapse video of waves eroding an ice front from an experiment conducted in our cryogenic wave tank at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The tank is housed in a walk-in freezer, and the waves are precisely controlled. This video captures about an hour of wave erosion.

When I took this photo of the Moon, I remembered Carl Sagan’s words. He’s one of my greatest inspirations in science communication. #CarlSagan #ScienceCommunication #Photography #whiteframe-photo

Photo of the Moon set against a dark teal background. A quote by Carl Sagan is placed in the lower left corner: “The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena.” The text is clean and minimal, evoking a sense of awe and perspective.
