Mean Bastard

Is it chocolate? The mean bastard looks at the lens in my hand. And there is more in this black bag resting between us. He has patience and waits for his chance. Changing lenses requires at least three hands, and another to protect the bag. I have only 2 for 2 lenses, a camera, a lens cap, and the bag. He has got 4, and his tail ….

Our eyes meet. Will he dare to do it…..?

At the End of a Day

When a road-trip comes to an end the emotions of sadness appear.

It was my last day on my recent trip through the south and the sunset showed a reflection of my feelings.

I had a wonderful time alone on the road for eight weeks, but somehow all things will come to an end eventually.

Now it’s time to start planning for the next trip.

Dogwoods, Northern California

I recently took a quick trip to Northern California, I had a little time on the way up to do a little photography. There weren’t many wildflowers but in certain areas the Dogwoods were blooming. I found the various representations of Dogwoods interesting depending on where they were located. The McCloud River was also running fairly high.

Ich habe kürzlich einen Kurztrip nach Nordkalifornien gemacht und hatte auf dem Weg nach oben etwas Zeit, um ein wenig zu fotografieren. Es gab nicht viele Wildblumen, aber in bestimmten Gegenden blühten die Hartriegel. Ich fand die verschiedenen Darstellungen von Dogwoods interessant, je nachdem, wo sie sich befanden. Auch der McCloud River floss ziemlich hoch.

Wasserspiegel

Dieser Brunnen steht im Innenhof des Gifhorner Schlosses. Obwohl es sich um eine moderne Brunnenplastik handelt, passt sie sehr gut in die historische Umgebung. Und für Fotografen(innen) sind Wasserspiegelungen natürlich auch immer wieder ein gern genommenes Motiv.

This fountain is located in the inner courtyard of Gifhorn Castle. Although it is a modern fountain sculpture, it fits in very well with its historical surroundings. And, of course, water reflections are always a popular subject for photographers.

Strandaktivitäten

Vergangene Woche war ich für ein paar Tage auf der nordfriesischen Insel Sylt. Auch um diese Jahreszeit werden die Strände für die verschiedensten Aktivitäten und Hobbys genutzt.

Last week, I spent a few days on the North Frisian island of Sylt. Even at this time of year, the beaches are used for all kinds of activities and hobbies.
