In Austria, the Alps in summer show their gentle side. Green valleys open between high peaks, lakes shine in clear light, and meadows fill with color. Villages rest quietly at the foot of the mountains, where traditions are still alive. For anyone with a camera, simple moments become lasting images — morning mist, bright skies, and the warm glow of sunset. The Austrian Alps remain a place of calm beauty, unchanged in their power to inspire. Photographed in August 2025 around Zell am See in Austria.
