Brilliant Light
We spent a few days in and around NYC in winter of 2011 and got to see the awesome, clear and clean light that floods the streets around this time in such perfect direction and low angle that you could imagine it is not real.

NYC at new years
It is some years ago that I was last in NYC, but New York at christmas and New York at new years is actually something that makes the city sparkle beyond its usual sparkle.

Elmo in the street
What is the relation between Elmo and this woman? What is each of them thinking about the other and are they even aware of each other?

Country Nativity
Years ago I found this nativity scene in some quere surroundings. I think words can't quite express how odd this looks. New Hampshire, 2011

Eagle
We did see a lot of eagles on Lofoten. And they are such a mighty sight!
This one here was just an exhibit. But I love how close I could get.

Merry Christmas
I am wishing everybody a merry christmas.
I think, light breaking out from the clouds is a great image to share for today.
This image was taken in northern Lofoten, summer of 2013.

dramatic skys
One thing I love about northern countries is that the skies tend to be really dramatic. This image was taken in northern Lofoten, summer 2013.

An uneven race
In the Oslo airport, kids were playing with the walking belts. I totally understand and would have almost joined the fun.

Augsburger Puppenkiste
These are our childhood characters from Augsburger Puppenkiste. We went to see a classic play by them in November. It was great going there after seeing it on TV in my childhood.

Bird on the rack
As I climb around on the scaffolding at roof bottom level, this little guy has found a perch at roof top level. It is a strange feeling to meet a bird in its habitat and to be climbing around close to it. It really did not seem to mind a lot. He almost landed next to us a few times that day or hung out at spots really close to us.

Concert nights
We lately spent the evening at the Snarky Puppy concert in Cologne. It was a packed, large hall. We had seen them in more clubby settings in the last years. They can well rock the big hall, too, though.

Iceland lagoon
I know I showed you this image before. It was taken looking towards Jökulsarlón, the glacial lagoon.
When reviewing images, this one seemed worthy to dig back up.

Line up of sails
At the surfer beach there also were sailers with light weight boats. I like how they lined up in this shot.

Beach Day
This is a shot of a surfer's beach in Brittany. It is a seach quest to find the surfers in this shot, though.

Tongues of Wood
I really liked these church chair rows. The dragons, creatures, beasts were very detailed and animated. But where is the front one's tongue?

A church in the dark
Augsburg, October 2015. A church in the dark. If you want to see this church from the front and in the light, scroll back a few days in this blog.

Inside the Golden Hall
The city hall building of Augsburg is a huge, historic building. Inside on the 2nd or 3rd floor there is the Golden Hall, a beautifully ornamented, very large hall with painted walls and textured floor. I really like the optical illusions created in this smooth and shiny stone floor. Looks like you have to climb up to the chairs over all those blocks.

Augsburg
The city of Augsburg is dominated by old architecture and churches, in the downtown area. This is a view down Maximilian Straße towards St. Afra und Ulrich.

Take a break
While working on construction, it is pretty important to stay happy and motivated. A cup of coffee can do wonders, out on the scaffolding.

Man at work
With sparks flying and darkness all around, you can even snap action shots like this with a cell phone camera. Pretty amazing, I have to say.

Hedgehog Time
This fall we stopped alongside a busy country side road and saw this little hedgehog headed for the tar. Cars were dashing by and we did not see the slightest chance that he would make a safe transition across. So we picked him up and carried him across the road to the field he was headed for.
I hope that he is well and finds a great place to winter.
