“Bad weather makes great images!” I had a chance to proof it during my last visit to Zion NP. I was hoping for nice Spring weather instead I woke up to snowflakes and rapidly moving clouds. Once in a while there was a lighter moment and the sun almost peaked through.
Das Besondere an der AutoStadt in Wolfsburg ist die Präsentation der durchaus wertvollen Oldtimer an ungewöhnlichen Orten. So wie dieser Samba-Bus aus dem Jahr 1966, der in einem der Shops steht. Mit weit geöffneten Türen wird er als Verkaufsfläche für Fanartikel, oder Accessoires rund ums Auto in den Shop und damit in den Alltag einbezogen.
The special thing about AutoStadt in Wolfsburg is the presentation of valuable classic cars in unusual places. Like this Samba bus from 1966, which is parked in one of the stores. With its doors wide open, it is integrated into the store and thus into everyday life as a sales area for fan articles or car-related accessories.
Vor ein paar Wochen habe ich eine Gruppe von Hundehaltern beobachtet, die mit ihren Tieren unterwegs waren. Bei einem Stopp waren alle ganz auf die Hundetrainerin konzentriert. Alle – nur dieser Vierbeiner nicht. Für ihn waren die Leute mit den Kameras viel interessanter.
A few weeks ago, I was watching a group of dog owners out and about with their pets. At one stop, they were all focused on the dog trainer. All of them – except this four-legged friend. For him, the people with the cameras were much more interesting.

From the previous post it seems to be the inclination that pictures in the fog are more interesting. Here are some more pictures of the Dutch landscape in the fog.

These birds mostly live in Middle America, but a few spend their winters between southern California and the Gulf of Mexico.
The coloring of these birds is typically dull, mostly grey, with one exception. The male Vermillion Flycatcher has a bright red color in his face, neck and chest. Just tail and wings are grey.
He is also known for puffing up his feathers in the air, when he sings.
Today, while I was sitting near the Colorado River at the Stateline of southern Arizona, he visited me over and over again and performed a really nice show.
Living up on 1000+ Meters, at times I observe dramatic views down into the Valley.

People develop quite a bit of fantasy to draw attention to their business like this owner of a service station in Caruthers, CA. There was a big puddle in front of the place which gave me the opportunity to photograph the place with a nice reflection.
Dieser sehr schön zurecht gemachte Oldtimer Lieferwagen stand vor kurzem vor dem Phaeno, unserem Science Center in Wolfsburg, als Werbefahrzeug. Ich dachte so, vor mehr als 50 Jahren, als dieser Ford Transit gebaut wurde, hätte sich niemand danach umgedreht. Wie sich die Zeiten wandeln. Heute ist er ein Schmuckstück und Blickfang.
This beautifully restored vintage van was recently parked in front of the Phaeno, our science center in Wolfsburg, as an advertising vehicle. I thought that more than 50 years ago, when this Ford Transit was built, nobody would have looked at it. How times change. Today it’s a gem and an eye-catcher.
