  • Winter lights

    After a few years break, I went to the annual “winter lights” event at the ega-park again this winter. I mean, it was in winter time but it did not feel like winter. At least on that day.
    Lovely to see how the event spreads more and more over the park with every year. Almost the whole park was being illuminated by various light installations and animations.

    As it was an unusual mild day, it had been a comfortable walk through the park with enough patience to find beautiful details. And some delicious Thuringian street food of course. Haven’t eaten a Bratwurst since months at that time.

     

     

  • Roadside tulips

    Glad all those road side flower beds throughout the city, made for last years BUGA, are still there and blooming again.

  • Hello spring

    Hello spring. 🌸

  • Winter is finally gone

    Golden end of an early spring day. Sun always makes things better.

  • “How will your 2018 be” challenge

    While putting the Duden back to the shelf, I was flicking through its pages in a nostalgic manner and this was the word my eyes picked at first. Isn’t there this “what you see first describes how your 2018 will be” thing? Well, challange accepted.

  • Time flies

    2018 is moving so fast already. Taken in the tram while riding back home. Somewhen in January.

  • Little Trabant adventures

    Sorry for not posting lately. I somehow got lost in social media. Posting on Instagram and then I forget to post it here. Should think about using IFTTT to streamline such activities.

    Not that spectacular right now, as winter has come and we got plenty of snow here as well. But the little Trabant has been with me at Weißsee Gletscherwelt last summer. Hopefully its journey will continue.

  • Gaugeous, Part 3

    Recently I finished the black and white film I had in the camera for a while. Old camera, old car, perfectly matching. In analogy to the previous “Gaugeous photos” (Gaugeous, Gaugeous II), this is Gaugeous Part 3.

  • Little Trabant meets Baltic Sea

    To continue the series, little Trabant hits the Beach at the Baltic Sea as well.

  • The little Trabant adventure continues.

    I took this picture on the last evening of this years trip to Sardegna. Again, it was great journey! This evening reflects the whole trip. Sitting on a beach and enjoying the warm wind, the sunset and and the crystal water of the Mediterranean Sea. While having a wine of course.
