Stille(the german word for silence, tranquility, stillness...) is the title of my diary, which collects photos, videos, reflections, and other contributions that are connected in one way or another to the conscious experience of nature. At its core is my belief that humans and nature, even if conceptually separated, are inseparable components of a greater whole, with whose rhythms and phenomena our human and animal lives are closely interwoven. The title derives from the search for and discovery of a state that manifests itself, on the one hand, externally through the absence of human-caused stimuli, but, on the other hand, internally in the form of calm, focus, and a kind of flow.

This website was born out of a long-standing desire to capture and share experiences, encounters and observations with nature through photographs and narratives. The photos and videos are taken on regular hikes, mostly in my immediate surroundings in Upper Styria.
