Passion for Photos – Photos are meant to be shared

PS Monster

Wahrscheinlich eines der am meisten fotografierten Autos der Welt: der hochglanzpolierte Bugatti in der Autostadt Wolfsburg. Mit über 1.000 PS und über 400 km/h schnell markiert er aber auch irgendwie den absurden Höhepunkt der bisherigen Automobiltechnik. Einen Pavillon weiter hat die elektrische Zukunft schon begonnen.
Probably one of the most photographed cars in the world: the highly polished Bugatti in the Autostadt Wolfsburg. But with over 1,000 HP and a speed of over 400 km/h, it somehow also marks the absurd peak of automotive engineering to date. One pavilion further on, the electric future has already begun.

Henkereiche

Viel ist nicht mehr übrig von dieser uralten Eiche. Früher bin ich oft auf meinem Heimweg von der Schule an diesem Baum vorbei gefahren. Allerdings war er damals noch viel beeindruckender. Manchmal saß ich mit einer Schulfreundin unter dem Baum und wir tauschten unsere übrig gebliebenen Schulbrote. Ach ja! Lang ist’s her.
Not much is left of this ancient oak. In the past I often passed this tree on my way home from school. But it was much more impressive at that time. Sometimes I sat under the tree with a school friend and we exchanged our leftover school lunches. Oh yes! It’s been a long time.

Contemplation

My granddaughter at the California coast near Monterey. This wasn’t posed – she was just watching the waves for a period of time. I wondered then as I do now, what she was thinking and what life will hold for her.

Powerplant

Between the Leaves

After my family and I had our thanksgiving meal, my younger cousins and I went on a walk while the sun was beginning to set. I brought my camera and had a little photoshoot with them, which they loved! I got this really cool shot of my cousin peaking through some palm leaves. She loved being a model and really got into it! Enjoy!

Gull Lake

Unfortunately I was unable to visit the Eastern Sierra Nevada this year because of the virus and the fires but I can share some of my favorite areas from years past. Gull Lake is sometimes overlooked but is always beautiful. Enjoy your weekend and stay healthy.

Fall and Winter

The first snow of the season in Yosemite gave a wonderful combination of Fall and Winter. Either season apart can be pretty spectacular but together…..

Impressionistic Carnations

Nine exposures of a vase of carnations. Camera is mounted on a tripod and in manual mode. Before each exposure I turned the vase a few degrees. In post I edited the images in layers. Enjoy!

Birke im Herbstkleid

Neulich war ich auf dem Waldfriedhof in Wolfsburg. Es ist ein schöner, alter Friedhof, parkähnlich angelegt und mit einem alten Baumbestand. Ich weiß, viele finden Friedhöfe eher gruselig, dabei erzählen sie, wenn man genauer hinschaut, so viele spannende Geschichten und bieten so viele interessante Motive. Und beim rausgehen habe ich diese Birke neben dem Ausgang entdeckt.
The other day I was at the Waldfriedhof cemetery in Wolfsburg. It is a beautiful old cemetery, laid out like a park and with an old stock of trees. I know, many people find cemeteries rather creepy, but if you look closer, they tell so many exciting stories and offer so many interesting motives. And while walking out I discovered this birch tree next to the exit.
