Masks

This is the first picture for me to post here and for a while I have pondered about which one. Well, it is the time of Corona and also, last week, it was international women’s day. At least in the country where I live, wearing a mask as a measure against Corona seems to be a big issue and an attack against the holy grail of freedom. In Oman, wearing a mask for women in the countryside is common. They come in various sizes and shapes and there are variations in how much they cover. This one is the medium version. Taking pictures is difficult, but the huge animal market in the town of Nizwa gives the right opportunities

A couple of new pets….

Inside? Outside?

There’s a lot going on with this image. It’s a reflection on one of the Awhahnee Hotel windows. You see interior and exterior, and then there’s that guy with a camera. I really liked how the interior stairs seem to lead up to the outside tree. And a little snow doesn’t hurt.

Mit diesem Bild ist viel los. Es ist eine Reflexion an einem der Fenster des Awhahnee Hotels. Sie sehen innen und außen, und dann ist da noch der Typ mit der Kamera. Mir hat sehr gut gefallen, wie die Innentreppe zum Außenbaum zu führen scheint. Und ein bisschen Schnee tut nicht weh.

Bag your Savings…

Yesterday, I went together with two others photographing street life in Merced, California. My first real attempt in street photography. I was surprised how many interesting daily life situations walked in front of my camera.

Bag your Savings….

If all you have is few bags….should I try to ask people for their life story?

All he has…all we have…
Indeed, Bijox, the little valuable things….

St. Adrian

Wenn größere Reisen (Corona bedingt) nicht möglich sind, muss man halt die nähere Umgebung erkunden. Und ich muss feststellen, dass es da so manches zu entdecken gibt. So wie hier Sankt Adrian, eine kleine Dorfkirche im Wolfsburger Ortsteil Heiligendorf. Sie stammt aus dem Jahr 1153 und ist seit 1534 eine evangelische Kirche.
If larger trips are not possible (due to Corona), you just have to explore the surrounding area. And I have to say that there are many things to discover. Like Saint Adrian, a small village church in the Heiligendorf district of Wolfsburg. It dates back to 1153 and has been a Protestant church since 1534.
