Here you find some information on my main hobbies, which are photography,
hiking, traveling and sports! The main focus of this website is photography and
music, but you will find also some information on other topics like sports,
traveling and hiking.
I have been a dedicated landscape and wildlife photographer since 2003.
Usually I combine my worldwide hikes with photography, though it implies
carrying a heavy 45kg backpack! My favorite hiking regions in the world are
New Zealand, Scandinavia, Alaska, Patagonia and Nepal. You will usually find
me on places with beautiful scenery and spectacular mountains or with
interesting wildlife.
Over the years I improved my equipment and currently I use high-quality
cameras and lenses from Canon, Zeiss and Sony. I prefer fixed lenses in the
wide-angle segment and zoom lenses in the tele segment.
I hope you enjoy my website and find some inspiration for your own
photography projects!

5. Patagonian Icefield
In December 2013/ January 2014
I experienced one of my best solo
hikes ever when surrounding
beautiful Cerro Torre via the
Southern Patagonian Icefield. A
detailed, interesting description
of that adventure and the
preparations you will find
on Spanish Highs supporting solo
Patagonia Icefield Trek. It was
very fascinating walking on the
endless ice field and experiencing
the lenticular cloud formations
that develop very often on the ice
field!

gallery Patagonian Icefield.
6. Cerro Torre
If I had to select one favorite mountain
on earth than I would go for Cerro
Torre! That mountain distinguishes
itself through its beauty from all sides
and is more or less not climbable for
the "man of the street". Sometimes a
lot of patience is needed to actually
see that mountain, which is usually
hidden more than 250 days a year by
clouds coming from the Patagonian
Icefield! Circo de los Altares was one of
my best camp sites in my life with
stunning views to impressive
mountains and additionally having the
feeling of the endless Patagonian
Icefield.
