I did not post a New Years photo for a while. So, this was my beginning of 2018.
Happy 2018!

That’s it. 2017.
Oops! I just wanted to start the 2018 photo series when recognizing, there is still a draft from summer 2017. Lets see it as a belated closing scene of 2017. Another great year with a great summer experience. Lay back, take a breath and relax.
2018 is in planning. Some things are fixed. Others are in the making. Looking forward to another great time.

The low sun shining through an alley in Venice.
Now you know what I did this summer
This is how I imagine qualitiy time in Italy! After been to Trentino, Lombardy, Tuscany and Sardegna, I gave Emilia Romagna a try. In particular the delta of river Po. Never expected such great nature when thinking about river Po. A nice place to be.
Baltic Sea
A few weeks ago we have been at the Baltic Sea. Sun, rain, sand, fish, wind, fairground, beach volleyball, culture, fireworks. We had everything this year. And time. A great time.
Rainy ride
Every journey comes to an end. Timing could not have been better this year. The last day started with rain and it lasted for some hours on the way home. Again a nice time at the Baltic Sea.

This ain’t California
Was not aware that Germany is having its own oil business. I got the hint on Twitter and decided to do a nice bicycle ride through the island’s outback to find the oil pumps on the Gnitz peninsula. Unusual view for Germany. The last time I had a similar view, was in Inglewood/L.A.

Breakfast, Sardegna style
Again we used the days off at Withsun to celebrate another outdoor, wildlife and rallye weekend. When we heard that the famous and beloved Acropolis Rallye of Greece dropped off the WRC calendar in 2014, we looked out for another event to join. Undoubtedly second most famous rallye is Rallye Finland and it is still on our list. But Finland is in August and full of midges. So we decided to give Rally d’Italia Sardegna a try. Similar weather conditions like in Greece. Stages are more narrow but less loose rocks on the surface.
It was a good decision and the weekend went well. Even though it isn’t that comfy as it is in Greece. The stages are in the “Outback” of Sardegna and starting late in the day. So it was tight to get some food after leaving the stages. Also it was impossible to go to the beach at the end of the day. We lived in the Outback all three days and went to the beach afterwards on Sunday. Much harder than in Greece where you have a daily visit to Loutraki for a cold beer and some beach fun at the end of the day. I was curious about the food in the small villages up in the mountains. But it was kind off disappointing. We had pasta which looked liked instant noodles and also pizza magharita because the chief was not in the mood to put some more stuff on it. Only on the last day we had a good Pizza and it was in a larger city. This point definately goes to Greece. In the villages up in the mountains, where no tourist will ever go, are the best taverns with Tzatziki made by Grandma.
Anyway, this is how the days in Sardegna started: Salami, Peccorino, bun and wine. This is Italy!
Goosebumps
A long felt want came true last Friday. Finally! I really like the music of City and Colour. I guess most of the pictures on the blog are edited while hearing his music. Last Friday he played a show in Berlin. No need to mention that I had to see it. And it was awesome!
Snow fun
Time goes by too fast. I still haven’t touched alle the photos taken in 2013. I slowly crawl through all of them and will finish them. One day.
On the other hand I’m sometimes not sure in which way the different pictures I take should be published. Traditional way is to shoot with the camera, develop them on a computer (or in a lab in between) and publish them here first and sharing them on social media afterwards. But today, I photograph all that daily stuff with a smartphone and puplish the result instantly. If they have an art character, they will appear on Instagram first and maybe Twitter and Facebook afterwards. As I don’t use it frequently, most photos will not appear on Google+ or Tumblr. And the platforms I like most are completely bypassed by my smartphone photography: This website, DeviantArt and Flickr.
As already done on the posts before, I will repost particular photos of my Instagram stream here as well.
This photo here was taken on the way to Oberhof in December last year. The only snow I have seen this winter and we went there for an afternoon in the snow. Was fun!
