Recently I had the opportunity to visit the exhibition “Fashioning San Francisco: A Century of Style” at the De Young Museum in San Francisco. Despite the low light I was able to photograph and share a few images.

Kunstwelt
Stahl, Beton, gerade Linien, klare Strukturen, alles sehr ordentlich und aufgeräumt. Und zwischendrin, ganz klein, der Mensch in seiner künstlichen Welt. Ganz so schlimm ist es zum Glück nicht. Aber es ist doch immer wieder interessant, wie man mit Perspektive und Farblook Stimmungen und Geschichten in seine Bilder bekommt.
Steel, concrete, straight lines, clear structures, everything very neat and tidy. And in between, very small, people in their artificial world. Fortunately, it’s not quite that bad. But it’s always interesting to see how you can use perspective and color to create moods and stories in your pictures.
Morgenstimmung
Am Sonntag bin ich mit einer kleinen Gruppe im Eyßelforst/Gifhorn gewandert und war erstaunt, wie sich die Natur in den Morgenstunden nach einer frostigen Nacht zeigt.
On Sunday I went hiking with a small group in the Eyßelforst/Gifhorn and was amazed at how nature reveals itself in the morning hours after a frosty night.
Rust never sleeps
The “Deutsche Dampflok Museum” in Neuenmarkt Wirsberg is one of the biggest of its kind in Germany. It offers numerous possibilities for photos. Particularly fascinating for me are the rusty remains of some waggons stored outside

Just playing around with Infrared photography in my backyard
A Path in Yosemite
Yosemite Park, CA… before the snowfall.
More from Bombay Beach
How did the Salton Sea Riviera “Bombay Beach” got its name? Along the east side of the Salton Sea, a major railroad line exists, even today. Staying on a campground for a day, you can hear the two miles long freight trains pushing by, day and night. Rumour has it, that the rail company thought it to be cool to use exotic names for railroad stops, and so you got Bombay Beach, and a little north Mecca Beach.
Come on in ….

The Bombay Beach Estate has building after building with graffiti, visitors, and artists.

Incoming Storm
It can be very stormy at the California coast. I created this image at Piano Beach. Enjoy!
Stadtansichten
Diese Szene habe ich neulich am Busbahnhof in der Abenddämmerung aufgenommen. Im großen Fenster des Phaeno spiegeln sich noch die von der untergehenden Sonne angestrahlten Wolken. Das Gebäude selbst, wird am Abend von Scheinwerfern in wechselnden Farben (hier: Lila/Violett) beleuchtet.
I took this photo a few days ago at the bus station at dusk. The clouds illuminated by the setting sun are still reflected in the large window of the Phaeno. The building itself is illuminated in the evening by spotlights in changing colors (here: purple/violet).
