I found a secret temple on Google Maps and hiked to it.

i get the feeling you're getting to the point in which your videos are more than photography, each upload is art, the ideas, presentation, music, script.

I'm on vacation in Austria, I just came across this amazing video, I searched on Google map, it turns out that this place is located precisely 1 hour 24 minutes from my house.

[GawxArt]

Absolutely incredible Teo. You’re so good

[dianaa]

FYI anyone wondering about the safety of crossing ski fields... be very careful. Without the righ shoes it is possible to slide down and not stop. I did this recently and nearly died. I was only wear trail runners. Use common sense and wear snow shoes.

22:50 its like magic how the temple fades into the mist like that.

[monsoon_og]

This video reminds me of how much I love not only photos but the journey and process it takes to go and find amazing locations especially with friends,

Phenomenal video as always, thank you Teo!

[kenmyyy]

the mystery and suspense vibe this whole video gives is incredible, its like a movie ....

[Neeintje]

wow. 25 minutes of pure cinema with my coffee.

[noiJadisCailleach]

Of course google suggests this video after watching the post-race 2024 Austrian grand prix a few minutes ago.

[tinal.]

Really love how you show your photos and point out the things you like - but also the things you don't. It was amazing watching this adventure!
Keep up the great work!
Gruß aus Deutschland :)

This whole video feels like watching a very comfortable movie to watch before bedtime. The pure whiteness of the scenes were so breathtaking I wish I could be in the frame. So mystical yet majestic. Love from Malaysia <3

[ReimannPembroke]

Dude this video was so good! Great storytelling! It’s super satisfying to document the existence of places. I’ve photographed a handful of places that are no longer in existence and it feels good to be able to immortalize them.

[justanotherdreamer]

anyone else kinda concerned they weren't wearing the right gear for ascending that snow slope. while ur sick and in such bad weather too. be careful man, safety is always first. glad they made it out ok

[sinofasin]

beautiful beautiful footages, thank you for bringing us to the lesser seen sights of austria! feels mystical knowing that this side of earth exists while i live in the tropics of Singapore hahaha

[jfs_films]

Thanks for the experience! Loved our hike!🙌🙏

[pluto-nwde]

we all need a friend like you and joseph. excellent photographers and someone who's always go for adventure

[sandeepsinghchawla]

I want to take some time and seriously thank you from the bottom of my heart for making videos and posting them online for all of us to see. Clearly a lot of work has been put into each one of your videos and it is so evident that you don't just do it for the views or the other stuff, you do it for the story, for the feeling. I personally feel so good watching your videos every single time, it's like I know you personally and resonate with you, with your art, with your style of photos and videos. It actually makes me want to make videos too although only for myself. Things have been very difficult lately with a lof of uncertainity in life and a lot of pressure and anxiety but I really appreciate these small things a lot, these videos, these beautifully composed photos, these adventures and stories that other people are pursuing such as you. I myself love photography a lot but have been in a weird place with it, also started shooting film coz of you and willem. In a nutshell, just wanted to say thank you so much for these videos and photos, somehow, a part of my happiness depends on them :))))

[grimmar]

Ok, I'm 1 minute 33 seconds in and I'm calling it now. Its some crazy dudes tribute to Schwarzenegger's Conan. I'll see if I'm right...
