Light breaks out just under the clouds!

Microcosm

 

Out in the moor, there are many different sceneries to observe and I tried to bring some of them home.

Draußen im Moor sind viele verschiedene Lebensräume dicht beeinander. Ein paar habe ich mit nach Hause gebracht.

another eye

 

These eyes are deep. And you can never see the ground.

Diese Augen sind tief und Du kannst ihnen nie auf den Grund gehen.

Sunset Time

Sunset in the moore.

Sonnenuntergang im Moor.

 

Eyes of the Moor

 

There are eyes looking at you in the moore. Just don't fall in.

Es gibt Augen, die Dich im Moor ansehen. Fall nur nicht rein.

hazy meadows

A very hazy scene on the edge of a pasture in the moore.

water ways through the moor are black and with a smooth surface

Amazing contrasts

Faroe Video Post

 When in the Faroe islands in January of 2023, we only had a week, but we tried to make a lot of it. We summarized each day in 2 or 3 videos for ourselves. We found them fun and that is why we will now share them here.

Als wir im Januar 2023 auf den Färöer Inseln waren, hatten wir nur eine Woche, aber wir haben versucht, viel herauszuholen. Wir haben unsere Tage je in 2 bis 3 Videos zusammengefasst. Die haben uns gefallen und wir haben entschieden, sie jetzt hier zu teilen.

Sankt Peter

 

Das Licht war phantastisch auf dem nassen Strand.

The light was amazing on the wet beach.

reflective beach

We did go to Sankt Peter Ording for a day... 

it had been raining hard and the water was just receding. This made the beach super reflective.

Wir sind für einen Tag nach Sankt Peter Ording gefahren.

Es hatte stark geregnet und das Wasser ging gerade zurück. So war der Strand sehr spiegelnd.

 

Lichtspiel

In den Bergen "hinter" dem Gardasee konnte ich dieses Lichtspiel einfangen.

Wasserseite von Turbel

Am Nordende des Gardasees liegt Turbel, ein nettes Städtchen mit tollen Blicken in alle Richtungen.

Gardasee

Ein Stopp am Gardasee auf der Durchfahrt. Der Abend begann schön und ging in strömendem Regen weiter.

Noch Klammer

Auch das hier ist die Partnachtklamm.

Partnachklamm

Wir waren 2016 auf dem Weg in die Dolomiten, als wir an der Partnachklamm, Garmisch-Patenkirchen Halt gemacht haben. Die Wanderung war eine schöne Runde zum Aufwärmen für einen längeren Wanderurlaub.

Froggy Leap

This Little guy and a bunch of his mates were hopping around on dry ground in grain fields. They looked a little out of place but seemed perfectly happy.

Setting sun

 

 

We have been taking more walks again, lately. It has been nice to be out and see the surrounding area. Sunsets are nicely late, at the moment, and so we get to enjoy sunset somewhere in the fields.

I took this panorama with my cell phone so it does not stand up to dslr quality I prefer to post, but it is pretty decent, I think.

The Shed

windswept corn

Summer time

Even though I am - unfortunately - lacking the time to be out a lot, I enjoy summer. This image of wind swept corn at sunset I took a week ago on an evening hike.

Harvest time

When your garden strawberries look so good, picking your breakfast becomes litteral.

unicorn cow

I have never before seen a unicorn cow.

I know it was just an advertisement for a burger place - but the cow was cute and the burgers were good.

Aachen, June 2016

Aachen

A day in Aachen - and I just could not get the tower to stand straight, I admit it.

Time for a classic

Years ago I experimented with custom bokeh. And I really liked it. I have to admit, I am not doing things like this very often, but occasionally.
And it is neat to know.

My blog post about this has gotten a good bit more than 1000 views by now. And I would like to re-share it here for those who have missed it, by now.

Custom Bokeh

And have you ever tried using this in video footage?

Check the original post for that footage.

Straw cutting

From days, long ago, when straw was chopped up before begin put into the stable. Because it went into the barn in long stalks.... this is a beautiful historic tool.

Light on the Cross

While sitting in the evening service at the holy communion, I noticed the sun moving across the cross. I shot this as the lightbeams were reaching the feet, because I felt this was symbolic.

innocent

Holy communion day. Perfectly innocent and all in white.

Lofoten Dreams

It is 3 years ago that we traveled the Lofoten, northern Norway.

We came home with way too many memories and images to quickly get an overview what we wanted to share and when and where.

I want to bring you some summer fjord time to last you over to your own vacation.

Portrait - Section

I have been taking a time out. I did not plan it. It just happend, due to a multitude of reasons. But it did happen.

After posting daily for so long, I didn't post in quite a while, now.

I have, today, entered a new section, though. So things have not died down. It was just a break.

The new section is "Portraits" - as this is something I have been pursuing for quite some time now. Most images I take I will not publish since I honor people's privacy. That does not say, however, that I do not have images I can share.

Portaits

This is where you can find those images from now on.

And I promise: I will post pictures on the blog again, now, too.

Thanks for hanging in there and still coming to see the blog. My stats have been rising steadily.

Reflection of gates

The gates looked like a beautiful reflection in the window. The photo reveals the effect of the double glass.
