Durchatmen
Der Besuch einer Veranstaltung mit über 100 Ausstellern kann schon sehr anstrengend sein. Da braucht man die eine oder andere Pause.
Visiting an event with over 100 exhibitors can be very exhausting. You need a break or two.

The House between the Rocks
Castel Meur, the “House between the Rocks”, is most famous and often photographed, located in Plougrescant, Bretagne, France. It’s a nice juxtaposition between the wild nature and the shelter-seeking house.
Man made giants
The Dutch association SSN owns several main line steam engines. Once a year they organize hourly steam trains from their depot in Rotterdam to Gouda. Here some shots from the depot which illustrate the size of these engines
Infrared Photography
Few months ago, I visited a photo gallery at the California Coast where a photographer had a display of infrared images. Since then, I have been so attracted to this kind of photography that I started shooting images with this technique.

Oak Fire
This past week I visited an area that makes me very sad because it was an area I loved to go and photograph. In the spring and fall it was always full of color and beauty. A year ago this entire area was ravaged by a wildfire that destroyed everything in it’s path. And while I saw signs of regrowth, it will take years to regain that beauty. 127 homes were lost and over 19,000 acres were destroyed. People’s lives were upended and wildlife was lost. All because of an arsonist’s hand. So sad.
Visiting Bumpass Hell
Bumpass Hell is part of the Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California. Lassen is one of the few places on the globe where all four types of volcanoes are located next to each other, even in multiples. Aside the shield, cinder cone, and stratovolcano, it harpers the largest plug dome volcano worldwide. Yet, when volcanoes are peaceful, they are a bit boring and difficult to hike. Not so Bumpass Hell, where everything is hot, babbling sulfur smelling steam emanating from the ground. If you are a believer of fairytales … hell is just around the corner … even vegetation stays away from hell. Nowadays, even hell has to be manageable, so people are kept out of harms way by letting them walk on artificial walkways.
Mt. Shasta
I took a trip to Northern California for a small family reunion. I had a little time one morning an took a trip up Everett Memorial Highway to the old ski bowl on Mt. Shasta. The first photo is on the way up, the second from 7800 feet looking south.
Für ein kleines Familientreffen unternahm ich eine Reise nach Nordkalifornien. Eines Morgens hatte ich etwas Zeit und machte einen Ausflug den Everett Memorial Highway hinauf zum alten Skibowl am Mt. Shasta. Das erste Foto ist auf dem Weg nach oben, das zweite aus 7800 Fuß Höhe mit Blick nach Süden.
