A Wish For The New Year

This was shot after a snow storm from just above my house. My New Years wish for all of my family and friends is for good health, happiness, and love. Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year

It was a turbulent 2023.

May the new 2024 bring you peace and joy wherever you might be or travel.

May all those wars come to an end and peace to the impoverished and suppressed.

Been thinking about my Mom and Dad and came across some old 35mm negatives of photos I took almost 50 years ago. I scanned them at 600 ppi but they still came out a little pixelated. Anyway Happy New Year and I wish the best for you and your family.

Ich habe an meine Mutter und meinen Vater gedacht und bin auf einige alte 35-mm-Negative von Fotos gestoßen, die ich vor fast 50 Jahren aufgenommen habe. Ich habe sie mit 600 ppi gescannt, aber sie waren immer noch etwas verpixelt. Auf jeden Fall ein frohes neues Jahr und ich wünsche Ihnen und Ihrer Familie alles Gute.

Stormy Pacific

After Christmas I thought I would be able to spend some quiet time at Sunset Beach at the Pacific Ocean. Instead we were warned of the high waves at the beach. Of course I had to go and photograph!

Enjoy the image and have a Happy New Year.

PS: I also would like to take the opportunity to thank Peter Hilden for his contribution to our photoblog. Peter shared many outstanding images from his vast portfolio as a travel and street photographer. We all wish him all the best and many more great images!

About traveling

It’s been a long journey – I’ve been showing pictures from my previous trips for 2 years (and I could go on for a long time). It was a lot of fun and I hope I didn’t bore anyone. But now it’s time for a break – I’ll keep following and maybe come back. Or maybe I’ll see you in real life. Who knows…. Greetings to all and a Happy New Year 2024! Peter

Weihnachtsferien

Weihnachten ist vorbei, Sylvester steht bevor. Es sind Schulferien und viele Leute haben Urlaub. Eine gute Gelegenheit ein paar Runden auf der Eisbahn zu drehen und so nebenbei etwas gegen die Feiertagspfunde zu unternehmen. Ich wünsche allen einen guten Rutsch in ein hoffentlich friedlicheres Jahr 2024.

Christmas is over, New Year’s Eve is coming up. It’s the school vacations and many people are on vacation. A good opportunity to do a few laps of the ice rink and do something to lose those holiday pounds. I wish everyone a happy new year and hopefully a more peaceful 2024.
