April 2023 – Page 3 – Passion for Photos

Recently went to Northern Arizona to addend my nephews wedding. I even had a little time to photograph. This first one is of a Fiddleneck, I’ve seen lots of yellow/gold ones but never this color. The second photo I liked the contrast of the backlit cactus against the wildflowers.

Kürzlich ging ich nach Nordarizona, um die Hochzeit meines Neffen hinzuzufügen. Ich hatte sogar ein wenig Zeit zum Fotografieren. Dieses erste ist von einem Fiddleneck, ich habe viele gelb/goldene gesehen, aber nie diese Farbe. Beim zweiten Foto gefiel mir der Kontrast des von hinten beleuchteten Kaktus gegen die Wildblumen.

Soda Lake Road

Soda Lake Road is the main road through Carrizo Plain. Mostly it is just a dirt road and during the rainy season it is sometimes impossible to use it. I used my drone to get an areal image at the southern entrance. Enjoy!

About traveling

and about Ranthambore, Rajasthan, India. I had the opportunity to visit this small village several times. These photos were taken in the Indian winter.

Schwanenpatrouille

Wie eine Fregatte auf Patrouille zog dieser Schwan seine Bahnen entlang seiner Reviergrenze.

Like a frigate on patrol, this swan moved along its territorial boundary.

Desert Wildflowers

A bit of an abstract version of wildflowers in the Arizona desert.

Es summt wieder!

Semana Santa

In Spain, the week before easter is the time for big processions. In many towns the shrines and name saints of the churches are carried around by believers. Although this is not any more the blood stolling event of the flagellants, carrying around the heavy burdens in thick clothes is not easy in the sweltering heat. Here some pictures from Valencia and Merida, where the traditional masks are still worn.

Feather River Canyon

Years ago I was driving through Plumas National Forest in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. A heavy wildfire was burning in the area and the smoke created this supernatural hazy feeling in the Canyon. The road crosses the Canyon above a railroad bridge.
