It often feels to me like there is some kind of magic going around these camp fires :-)

Photo of the Day - Basejumping in Verdon

Thanks to the amazing BlackSheep cafe in Bishop I had finally time to catch up with the internet ;-). A few older shots from the trip to Verdon last month.

It was not even five minutes since our arrival when I noticed these two super friendly guys packing their stuff. Another five minutes and I was staying at this exit point called Vent des errances.

Not being used to watching base jumpers I suddenly understood why rock climbing may seem dangerous to non-climbers. Awesome stuff Jean-Louis and Gui. Thanks for the show and such a nice welcome to the amazing Verdon Gorge!

Photo of the day - Ironman

Ironman the three start classic at Buttermilks in Bishop. Everybody (feel free to correct me) seems to like this line.

Photo of the Day - Early morning at Buttermilk

I arrived to Bishop, the famous bouldering area in California, late last night. Was not quite sure what to expect and could not wait to wake up this morning. Thanks to the jetlag it was not that hard to be up early and here is one of the shots from my morning walk. I must say the Buttermilk area is a beautiful place and what's better the climbing here is even MORE amazing ;-) Some action shots will follow soon ...

Photo of the Day - On the Move

I am sitting on a train to Prague. The next destination is US and I should be planning the next two months right now. Instead I am thinking about the last month I spent with my family and friends. It has been such a wonderful experience to see so many great and inspiring people again.

I am feeling extremely lucky to still have such strong bonds over here. It is almost like the time I have been living on the other side of the world has not changed much. I do not take this for granted and big big thanks goes to all of you who made this visit so good :-).

Slackliner Manuel Kreissig in action in Verdon

I met Manuel in Verdon a few weeks back. Pretty much by accident while breaking some slacklining rules ;-). Despite this awkward moment it was very kind of him to let me catch this little sequence. Pretty impressive stuff Manuel ... Thanks!

Dachstein

A few awesome days surrounded by the Dachstein massif but most importantly with the MAN to whom I owe a great deal for being here ;-). It was nice to see my father's love for nature in action again. I wish I'd be in his shape when I turn 60 ;-)
