Almost 22 years have passed since this photo was taken, in my university-era bedroom.
I had already graduated and I was doing things I truly enjoyed.
I was about to move out, even though nobody knew it (I was taking notes on my Palm about what to pack, but messiness was the norm, so no one got suspicious). I also had a slightly swollen gum, so I was smiling without showing my teeth, and I had mouthwash on the desk.
And that smile was one of mysterious satisfaction, anticipating what was about to happen soon.

Perhaps the most enigmatic Italian smile since the Mona Lisa.

Indoor snapshot from 15 May 2004: a young man (me) in a gray sweater and light blue shirt smiles at the camera (in an enigmatic way) while holding a Palm handheld device and stylus; behind him are an old Sony CRT TV and a green iMac, with a South Park poster on the wall.

Rotwandhütte / Roda di Vael for #MountainMonday

Also a #throwback to July 2007, when I was hiking in the always wonderful Rosengarten group (Catinaccio) in the Dolomites in South Tyrol (Northern Italy) for a few days, to get away from it all. 😁 The extensive system of trails and rustic alpine huts and shelters makes that very easy!

Tonight, for some reason, this came back to my mind. Maybe because the weather feels the same as it did back then.

I Just Want to Go Back Home | MyNotes

A single thought that deafened the noise of a new city and a new life. This is the story of a paralyzing fear, of porticoes that felt like cages, and the silent nod that changed everything. It's about finding your way back home, even when you're far away from it.

In Vorfreude auf den bevorstehenden Winter und aufgrund der Tatsache, dass es aktuell ein paar Höhenmeter weiter oben schon wieder etwas weiß geworden ist, gibt es zum #MountainMonday ein #throwback Foto aus dem Dezember 2023.

Es entstand während der ersten Skitour der Saison am Schlittkuchen (2519m) oberhalb von #Engelberg.

Einer der schönsten Aussichtspunkte des Südschwarzwalds für einen beeindruckenden Alpenblick ist und bleibt der Belchen (1414m) - die zweitletzte, größere Erhebung Richtung Süden gesehen.

Auch wenn ich diesen Berg schon unzählige Male - sowohl mit Wanderschuhen als auch mit Touren-Ski, bestiegen habe, ist es immer wieder aufs Neue ein Erlebnis - das richtige Wetter vorausgesetzt.
Wenn man sich dann noch einen Tag herauspickt, an dem die Belchenbahn Revision hat, hält es sich mit dem Andrang auf dem Gipfel auch in Grenzen.

Das Foto entstand vor fast einem Jahr im Dezember, als noch kein Schnee lag und eine Inversionswetterlage Traumblicke in alle Richtungen gewährte.

Mehr Fotos: https://beyondshatteredmoments.de/2024/12/10/belchen-1414m-2/

Zu sehen ist im Vordergrund eine Wiesenhang mit vereinzelnden Nadelbäumen, der nach und nach in bewaldete, tieferliegende Täler sowie Berge übergeht. Im Hintergrund ist Nebel in der Ebene zu sehen, dahinter ragt ein Hochgebirge in den blauen Himmel empor.

My home desktop - 1 March 2000 - a Pentium 233 MMX.
The OS was Debian Linux - you can see a printed Tux near the keyboard.
No broadband connection, just a 56k modem.
Iomega Zip drive - so I could download stuff at Uni and bring it back home.
One year later, this became my first 24/7 server.

Behind the monitor is a large black Sony  speaker, and a motorcycle poster hangs on the wall. The photo’s timestamp reads “1.3.2000.”
