Is it Abstract Photography? There's also the term Intimate Landscape Photography, which I personally like more somehow. Actually, for this post a suitable title might also be Intimate Waterscape ;)
Abstract or Intimate Landscape Photography
I have taken all images in September 2020 during a trip to the Maltatal Hochalmstrasse (Link to Google Maps below).
The first three images were taken at a river near the entrance to the road, which leads to the Kölnbrein Dam, the tallest dam in Austria. The structures on the rocks were fascinating and you may be sure that I'll visit that place again next year when the road opens again after the Winter.

When I am there next time I want to take more time to explore more of this river and its interesting shaped and textured rocks.
 ❖ please click the image for fullsize view ❖ |

A bit further up the road there's a parking lot from which you can hike to the so called "Blauer Tumpf" what means "Blue Pond". I couldn't see any blue water there, but this rock face looked cool enough for a photo.

According to Wikipedia, Abstract photography, sometimes called non-objective, experimental or conceptual photography, is a means of depicting a visual image that does not have an immediate association with the object world and that has been created through the use of photographic equipment, processes or materials. An abstract photograph may isolate a fragment of a natural scene in order to remove its inherent context from the viewer, it may be purposely staged to create a seemingly unreal appearance from real objects, or it may involve the use of color, light, shadow, texture, shape and/or form to convey a feeling, sensation or impression.

Golden glimmer through flowing water in first photograph has pulled rock texture brilliantly. Gently flow across the face of rocks like a veil another charming piece leaving the imagination to flow along within the image.
Well done, now have a !BEER and enjoy the evening @johannpiber
Actually, till the 19th century they have been mining gold in these mountains ;)

BEER.The fog is back here in town and it's quite cold and frosty here.
The balcony is iced and the cats are learning to ice skate, but it looks so funny when they run out and try to stop - it's good that there's a railing that helps them 🤣
I hope your temperatures stay above normal, although I love the views I had this morning ... I will post an image after/below this reply in a minute, just have to go to the computer 😉

Morning Hannes, 😊
Your cats must love having the balcony to go out on even if they must learn to skate. :)
Little CC is settling in and Sunday has stopped hissing at her. She chases the older cats around and wants to play all the time.
Have a wonderful Sunday dear Hannes and thanks for the cheer and goodies.🤗
Cool morning here 2C but we have had some nice daytime temps.
Hi Jo,
it was so funny when they ran outside and slipped till the railing stopped them 🤣
It's a gray Sunday here at about 0 C, but I am working and editing photos anyway. Tomorrow I'll be back at work and will have less time.
CC is bringing new life and fun into your house :)
Have a wonderful Sunday too, dear Jo, even if it's cold the sun might shine warm for you 🌞

Oh, my father in law would llove to see this and you will be amazed at what he can tell you about these rocks Hannes. He is a geologist (retired now)
I have bookmarked this post to show him when they visit again.
You've got the waterflows spot on and beautiful my friend.
Another great post here!
Blessings!
The rivers there are full of such rocks.
I am sure I could find more about them on the website of that valley or the road, but although it would be interesting that's knowledge I would forget anyway 😉 lol
Thank you so much that you like my post, Zac 😄

Each of the layer lines that you see explains a different time period of settled rock Hannes.
The old man can even tell how it was formed and the type of rock materials.
He gave me a tree that was turned into rock, a fossilized rock, but I forgot to load it when we moved here.
Rocks are interesting my friend.
A pleasure to like your great posts!
Cheers and thanks!
I know a little about it because there were so many things we learned at school, but some things like these layers and such stayed in my mind ;) You can see that in the mountains too, only much bigger.
We have found quite a few stones with fossiles or better said with their imprints, like shells or snails in the mountains. That tells us that our mountains have once been the ground of an ocean :)
Cheers and !BEER
!invest_vote
So amazing isn't it?
To think that the monolith mountains were once on the sea bed.
At least you remember something that you learned at school 🤣
I only remember the one young beautiful teacher!
I think that you might know a bit of the history behind our Table Mountain.
It's thought to be one of the oldest mountain in the world.
The Alps are reckoned at 40 million years old.
Table Mountain is 240 million years old.
https://www.news.uct.ac.za/article/-2015-03-09-33-cool-facts-about-table-mountain
"uct" in the address means the university of Cape Town.
Cheers and thanks.
Yeah, the Alps might be relatively young compared to other mountain ranges, but they might still be here when the table mountain will be a small island in the sea again ;)
Cheers and !BEER
!invest_vote
The way we are going my friend, maybe all of the mountains will cease to exist.
If the Ters ever lay their hands on atomic weapons, we will all be in shtuck.
Besides that we have many other destructions of the planet to worry about.

BEER.Good evening @johannpiber 😊
Very unusual texture and shape, as if lava used to flow instead of water 😊
You will have something to explore.
And beautiful waterfalls, I love your photos of the waterfall, such a beautifully captured moment ....💞
I really enjoyed these intimate waterfalls photos and still learned something new about Abstract photography...
Have a nice evening @johannpiber ✨🌌

I hope the sun comes ... because it's really cloudy 🙄
And once again, I wish you a nice sunny weekend ...☀️😊
No sunshine here today, but I would only need to drive 10 minutes up any mountain around if I wanted to see the sun.
Only problem would be the thousands of people who think the same, so I stay here, edit my photos and have a quite relaxed afternoon 😁
Thank you @Suzana72 ☺️

The sun has not arrived here.
But I was working outside and it was evening.
At least you have that option if you want 😊

Interesting i have never heard of Abstract or Intimate Landscape Photography we learn something every day and this does look very interesting thanks for explaining and showing these awesome images i do love them in the way they are structured 👍
They are just close-up photos in my eyes, but these terms sound better 😉
Thanks a lot that you like them, @kohsamui99 😁

Ohhhh...i see you are just trying to sound all technical ...lol...ok then 😸
True, because anyone could take a close-up photo, but an "intimate landscape photo" doesn't sound that easy 🤣 lol
Cheers and !BEER

These technical terms of describing photography certainly confuses the hell out of me but you been more of a professional photographer then me are more aware of these technical terms of describing photography like @qurator they have been having a few of these technical term photography contest like ICM Photography , HDR Photography , Tilt Shift Photography what the heck i had to google them to see what they were talking about...lol ... but all interesting 👍
ICM is a cool thing: you just shake your camera or you zoom in and/or out while you take the photo and so ;)
Many of my photos are HDR's when there's too much difference in brightness from foreground to the background or the sky. Tilt-shift looks nice, but I haven't made such photos yet.
It's snowing here and I don't have the time to get out. It will probably be dark again when I leave the office today. Wish you a great day 😊
