  • Golden October

    This years autumn is perfect for colour- and summer lover like me. Golden and mild.

  • Saaleland

    Upper Saale valley as original as it was before the well known cascade of dams were built. Beautiful nature together with Water mills give an idea how the whole area must have been looked in the past.

  • Riding Ziemestalbrücke

    Ziemestalbrücke. A stunning piece of engineering, built in 1895. Hasn’t seen any train since 20 years.

  • Ziemestalbrücke

    Late summer bike ride along upper Saale river. A throwback to my childhood.

  • Erfurt Christmas Market – the other side

    Not sure if you have ever heard of the Erfurt Christmas market. Main reason why it is that popular in this region is the magnificent background, provided by the impressive cathedral and the chuch next to it. Both are located on a hill with the Christmas market at its feet.

    If you saw a guy with a tripod standing between all the folks there and trying to capture photos – yeah, it was me. Even the long exposure time did not get the photo rid of people standing in the frame.

  • Erfurt Christmas Market. (another approach)

    I took a similar photo in December 2011 (link). Last time i placed the camera on one of the steps which lead up the the Erfurt cathedral. This time I went there on purpose, carrying a tripod with me. I probably will do that again once we see snow at the christmas market. Anyway a nice outcome of that activity.

  • Paradise

    If you ever wondered why it is called “Jena Paradies”, this photo frames it all. The park, the atmosphere in summer nights, the river running through it, the silence and right there, the place where the magic happens. Sometimes. But always on time (#Derbysieger)

  • Pastel Morning

    Due to the lack of vacations or any other social activity, I have to bore you with a sunrise again. This time in pastel colours. Taken last week in the early morning

  • Highway sunset

    Time to start posting some photos I made in the last couple of months. Phone and hard drive contain pictures I have not posted yet. Always wanted but forgot later to do.

    This one was taken on the ride back home from Frankfurt after having been to Sardegna. In my eyes the perfect picture to close such a trip.

    Also a good example about how far development of phone cameras and also mobile editing software has gone.
