Back in the Hive ... some words and photos

avatar

Today is the first of December and it's about 4 months since I made my last post here on the Hive Blockchain, but not only did I go (almost) offline here, I also stopped using my accounts on Twitter, Instagram and Vero ... until I started to slowly geting back online a couple of days ago.

I am back...- Johann Piber

Back in the Hive

This post is accompanied by some of the photos I have taken in the past months while being offline. Of course, I want to make separate posts about these and more photo trips soon.

Tre Cime di Lavaredo - Dolomites

Boring cloudless sky at sunrise - the weather was great in the Dolomites ... great for hikes, but not for photos.

I didn't plan to go offline, especially not for such a long time. It just happened, but the longer it took the better it felt somehow and I think I needed a time out, to be honest. And while writing these words during my nightshift, I still don't know if I will publish this post in 2022 or in 2023 ... of course, it will be 2022 and even today, and I have to apologize to you for leaving without saying anything.

The path around the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Although it was still quite early in the morning, I had to be quick to take a photo without any people ... still had to clone out one person ;)

In the beginning I said I went "almost" offline, because I still have been here almost daily to look through my feed, to vote and to chat with my good friend from South Africa, Zac Smith aka @papilloncharity, whom you all might should know, I think.

Passo Giau - Mt. Ra Gusela - Italy

Search Google for Passo Giau or Mt. Ra Gusela and you will certainly see tons of awesome images of the Mountain reflected in this little lake.
When I arrived at the pass the weather was cold and stormy, as you can see in this image, but I loved how the little rock in the water mimics/reflects the mountain.

Talking about Zac, if you don't already know Zac Smith yet, you should definitely pay him a visit because his blog and charity work in South Africa deserve much more attention - he's a passionate photographer who shows beautiful landscapes and animal / bird images taken around his home in South Africa ... please visit him and follow @papilloncharity.
And if you want to win some extra HBD each week you should also visit @combination, the account of the Papillon Foundation run by Zac - see right below.
Other than that I have been quite quiet in the Online world.

Autumnal Colours - Austria
Autumnal Colours - Johann Piber
[click for fullsize]

About half an hour from home there's a little mountain that I often visit. In the beginning of October the trees have already started to change colour.

So, what were my reasons for going offline? I think besides a lot to do at home the main reason was my work which has increased in the past few years, and until about two months ago, when I finally have found a colleague who is able to do the most important tasks of my work when I'm not here, I even haven't been on holidays longer than a few days in a row.

Waterfall - Italy
Waterfall - Italy - Johann Piber
[click for fullsize]

I have visited a huge waterfall in Italy, but I loved this little one much more, to be honest.

So, in September and October I could consume my holidays from the past few years.
In the weeks off work I have been on quite some short photo trips around home and also to Slovenia and I have been in the Italian Dolomites.

Passo Giau - Italy
Passo Giau - Italy - Johann Piber
[click for fullsize]

On my second visit to the Passo Giau in the Italian Dolomites I have had a little better weather :)
The small white dot to the right besides the road is my micro camper van that Hive bought me - more about it in another post.

There's still so much to do and after long days looking into the computer monitors, working through mountains of work and surviving boring meetings at work, I often just don't want to turn the computer on at home.
And I want to spend my spare time more out in nature, but I also want to try to post here again from time to time and show you some of the photos I have taken in the past months ... and also the ones that I will take on my future photo trips.

Tschaukofall - Austria
Tschaukofall - Austria - Johann Piber
[click for fullsize]

The Tschaukofall is a beautiful waterfall in a gorge close to the border to Slovenia.

So, now I'm at the end of this post ... next time you don't hear anything from me, you know that I am just somewhere in the mountains enjoying the offline world ... or ask Zac 😉

Šunikov vodni gaj - Slovenia
Šunikov vodni gaj - Slovenia - Johann Piber
[click for fullsize]

The Šunikov vodni gaj / Šunik Water Grove in Slovenia is one of my favourite places for waterfall images as well as for walks in the mossy beech forest there.

By the way: do you say "in the Hive" or "on the Hive"? When you mean the Hive Blockchain it would probably be "on the Hive", I guess, but bees live "in their Hive", don't they 🐝

Ysperklamm - Austria
Ysperklamm - Austria - Johann Piber
[click for fullsize]

Especially after rains, the river in the Ysperklamm in Lower Austria is of a quite intense brown colour because of the humic substances in the soil.

All photos were taken with the Canon EOS R and one of these lenses: Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM, Canon RF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM, Canon RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM, Canon EF 16-35mm 1:4 L IS USM, Canon EF 50mm 1:1.8 L STM, SIGMA 105mm 1:2,8 DG MACRO HSM.

The waterfalls in the mountains are like a piece of heaven. Another thing that caught my attention is that there are no trees in the mountains in the first pictures.

Oh yes, and I do feel like in heaven when I am on such places - thank you so much kindly for your nice comment on my photos 😊

The tree line in the alps is between 1,800 and 2,200 meters - these photos were taken above this altitude, so that's why there are no trees 😉

Greetings to you Hannes,

These kinds of photos leave me stunned every time that I see them. All of the photos in here are top class and to me, each photo is a prize winner on its own. Oh, and welcome back by the way.
So good to see your stuff again.

Also our heartfelt thanks for the promotion and Marian said to me that you are a good guy, but I don't know if an Austrian mountain goat can have good habits 🤣 !LOLZ

Thank you my friend and congrats on the great photos.

Cheers and thanks for the unexpected promotion.

Good evening Zac,

thanks a million for the nice welcome and the compliments on my photos, my friend, I hope I'll stay longer this time 😁

I just didn't know what to write, so I thought I could promote you a little bit 😉 !LOLZ
I'm only joking, of course, and hope that you'll get some new followers.

Thanks again, my friend, have a wonderful evening 😊

Still good afternoon Hannes,

It is always such a pleasure to look at your photos and I really mean it. I know it's a bit dicey, but I will take your word for staying longer mate 🤣

Now this might sound strange to you, but I have come to know you and your fun tricks AND I also knew that you meant it sincerely in a kind effort to help us.
So yes, you will have to invent some new tricks to get me 😜 !LOLZ

Thank you once again for the great effort my friend,

Btw. How's your daughter doing now? Settled?

Cheers and thanks.

Okay, I'll think of some new tricks tonight - hopefully I dream of something awesome 😁

Oh yes, my daughter is settled in her new apartment and next time I'll see her it will be Christmas. She is working in another pub now and I think she's doing a good job because everybody likes her ... well, she's her father's daughter 😂 !LOLZ

Don't dream of something too awesome, as I find that it never works. Tricks come natural to both of us and oh yes, to your daughter too 😁

Great that she is settled and that she is happy in the new job. Everyone likes her and all of the others only tolerate the mountain goat 🤣 !LOLZ

Hi JJ,

I didn't have any time to go online today - the days before the year ends are always more stressful than the rest of the year 😓

I have read about Lulu's injury when I was looking through my feed from time to time and I was happy to hear that she's doing better and also because that means you're doing better too 😊

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend, my friend 🌞

Hey you! I was just thinking about you earlier when I checked to see if you had posted. You hadn't then but here you are. I'm glad you are doing okay and can relate to needing a break or not enough hours in the day. You've certainly captured some lovely photos to share with your return. The mountains are beautiful but the waterfalls are my favorites and I love the Autumn colors of the trees! 💕

Hi Vincent,

the longer I'm off work the higher the mountain of work gets on my desk, although my colleague does some work, but being away from my office was great 😁

I think I prefer "in the Hive" because the Hive feels like a home for me, just like a beehive is home for the bees 😉 !LOLZ

Thanks so much for your nice words on my photos, Joan 🤗

The break was great and somehow I didn't want to return into the online world, but I missed my friends from the Hive.

The van is very comfortable and I love to sleep in it whenever I can, but I already have plans to build the bed new because during my trips I have encountered some things that I want to improve, like I don't want to get out of the car to get to some things that are accessible only via the tailgate.

We all need a break from electronic mojo, yet where you going to share those amazing things you see, quandary back online and everyone is happy.

Good to hear you are trying the van out already, now to alter to suite yourself and wife for travel, planning is the fun part, making it comfortable. Massive savings when going away like a tortoise with your own shell to sleep in.

Kind regards to family, have the children suggested using the van yet 😇 for themselves?

There were so many kind welcome comments - I am really overwhelmed and happy 😀

My wife is also a reason to rebuild the bed because now it's only wide enough for me and in our age we need more space 🤣 !LOLZ so I want to build one that can be extended a little bit 😉
You can drive wherever you want and sleep almost wherever you want. Since the pandemic the numbers of camper vans has increased a lot and in most countries, including Austria, wild camping isn't allowed anymore. This is why my van looks almost like an ordinary working van from the outside and until I haven't had any problems yet.

My kids like the van and they also enjoy driving it, but they know it's mine, although my son has asked to borrow it next year for vacation ... we'll see 😉

Great investment, being able to drive knowing you have everything you need.

A weekend, week, who knows maybe more, using odd B&B in between to shower and stretch the legs in a bed for a night. Being so central in Europe options are endless wherever the road takes you.

Enjoy designing and making it your own!

Yep, if I was alone I could live for a week in the van, I believe - the only thing that might make problems would be the missing toilet 🤣

Oh yes, I can go north or south, east or west and everywhere there are different landscapes, one more beautiful than the other, and i a few years time I will have enough time to really enjoy the freedom to go anywhere I want without the need to return soon 😁

Maybe I can also do that if I am travelling in a very beautiful place that will devour me and make me forget that social media exists.

Thanks mate, I have missed you all too, but somehow I also loved being offline a lot 😉

I have seen some new photographers here who I know from Twitter - hope they stay and many others follow.

Cheers and !BEER

I am so happy to see that you're back too!

I have been absent myself of late- ever since I start my new job in February and have the same trouble as you- after staring at a computer screen all day, it's so hard to come home and sit in front of a computer again and the shame of it is, we are forsaking the most important things to us- our creativity to do all that mundane stuff at work!

I am so happy that you have found someone to replace you so you can now get back out there and back on Hive again as those photos are sensational and I can't wait to see more!

I had to come back- I missed everyone here far too much to leave and leaving was not a choice, just an unfortunate situation that I couldn't control- life interrupting creativity and socialising...

And here I am and trying to stay onboard.
I hope that you do too.

Until next time!

You're so very right. I just didn't feel like posting anymore and the longer I stayed away the better I felt, and leaving Twitter and the other social networks too was the best thing I could do. And although I have some good friends on Twitter, I don't think I'll get back there soon too.

I wouldn't use the word "replace" because he only does the most important things that can't wait, and when I return I have to look if he has done everything right. But it definitely is much better than before 😁

I certainly will not post as often as I have done in my first years, but I want to post more often than I have done in the past year ... so I'm also trying to stay onboard because the Hive is also my second family to me 😊

Thank you so much kindly, whishing you a wonderful weekend 🌞

Well either way- however it happened, I'm glad that you're back!

I wish to keep posting as much as I was, if not more, but I just can't seem to find the time!

And Yes, but unlike you, my hive family is more like my 1st family that my second one though..

I'm here to stay, but sometimes have to go away- not by choice though!

Yes, I am also glad to be back, but it's really hard to find the time to post or the mood to post after long days, and when I'm off work at the weekends I want to go out and not sit at the computer again ... I wonder how I have done that before 😅

First or second family don't matter in my eyes - Hive and the people here are important for me and although I don't engage a lot at the moment, I belong here 😀

Hope you're having a great week 🌞

Yes, totally agree on all accounts there!

I've been working from home a bit and being able to do a little bit of sneaky Hive stuff while I'm 'at work'- a pc and a mac going at the same time with 2 mice and 2 keyboards and a monitor for each!

Talk about getting good at being ambidextrous!

Shhhh, don't tell though! 🤣

2 mice, 2 pc's, but 3 monitors and sometimes an additional laptop but almost no time for Hive during the day.

I'm used of the above situation, but I still move one mouse and wonder why the cursor moves on another monitor 😂 !LOLZ

That's so funny too cause I'm constantly shaking my head wondering why my mice are running around on their own all willy nilly too! 🤣😂😅

Thanks for the Pizza, how do I make some chocolate tokens to dish out for dessert?

Sometimes I think of replacing the batteries before I realize I'm looking on the wrong monitor or holding the wrong mouse 😂 !LOLZ

Chocolate tokens? Such a dessert would be delicious, but I have no idea how to make them 😉

Ahhha hhaaa haa, like today when I was typing but the words weren't coming up on the screen in front of me then I realised the wrong keyboard and the wrong monitor! 🤣

Hmmm well the cacao seed is growing and one day it might grow up to become a chocolate token! 😋

Thanks for the pizza- it was delicious tonight- roasted vegetable! 😋

Oh there you are. Glad you decided to come back. It's Hive's gain! Your photos always have that effect on me - always guessing which is the best and end up not knowing and undecided. Superb and magnificent. They have been missed here in Hive. Welcome back, my friend. How's the Harley?

Hi, my friend, I'm back, but I'm taking it slowly this time - this time I try to me more offline than online ... offline and out in nature 😁

Thanks so much for your always great support and for the compliments - that makes me happy on a gray day like today 😀

The Harley is sold and although I miss it sometimes, I am glad because the roads have become dangerous and I don't get younger 😉 So, now I drive an old VW Caddy that I have transformed to a mini camper van. Now I can make photo trips which wouldn't have been possible with the Harley.

Thank you very much again, my friend, wishing you a wonderful weekend 🌞

Hannes, it’s good to see you back on Hive. You were missed. A break is a good thing to rejuvenate and enjoy nature, especially the beautiful mountains and waterfalls you photograph. ⛰

Sounds like you had wonderful hikes and got some great photos of the Dolomites. Lovely capture of the Austrian waterfall after the rain caused the stirring up of the soil.

Have a great start to the week and don’t work too hard. 💕

Hi Jo,

thanks a million for the warm welcome, I have missed you too, but being offling was great 😊 Now I have to get used of the online world again 😉

I have had some quite nice photo trips and hikes, that's very true, and soon I'll show you more photos.

Thank you so much again for liking my photos and for everything, dear Jo, hope you're having a wonderful Sunday and great start into the new week 🤗🌞

Dear @johannpiber,
Your support for the current HiveSQL proposal (#138) is much appreciated but the proposal will expire soon!
May I ask you to review and support the new proposal so HiveSQL can stay free to use for the community?
You can support the new proposal (#247) on Peakd, Ecency, Hive.blog or using HiveSigner.
