  • Croatia on film

    Since the 70D is heritage of Marathon now and I am, apart from a phone, without a digital camera (or at least a proper one), this year’s vacation photography went vintage. I had films in stock, so I took the opportunity to make use of them. I grabbed a film camera and hit the road to northern Croatia.

  • Acropolis Rallye of Greece 2025

    Short Acropolis Rallye recap from June. Another wonderful weekend in Attica and central Greece. It had everything one expects from an Acropolis Rallye weekend. Sun, heat, dust, sea, drinks, delicious food, outdoor life and of course, rallye action.
    If you ever come along the Gulf of Corinths north shore, make sure to stop in Eratini and have dinner on the beach. A lovely village, away from mass tourism.
    After last years hospital visit, this years downer was the need to visit a police station. Like the Persians 2500 years ago, I got ripped off in Marathon and almost all my belongings are history as well now. In Marathon.
    Goodbye my lovely EOS 70D and lenses. 😢

     

  • Unstrut sundowner

    As a summer lover, grown up with kayaks, boats and rafts (the latter might be the reason why I don’t get the hype on SUPs), this is the best way to spend these endless summer days.
    What the pictures don’t tell you: thousands of midgets. I don’t care.

     

  • Welcome to the family!

    A quiet path carved through clouds and trees.
    First test of a long-standing wish. Happy me!

     

  • Stairway to heaven

    An absolute highlight on Madeira. The well known “stairway to heaven”. Again I was really lucky with the weather that day. And again with not having others around me. This spot gets heavily crowded around sunrise as it is part of the PR1 hiking trail between Pico do Arieiro and Pico Ruivo. Many hikers use the magical light from the upcoming sun to start their hike.

     

  • Never miss a sunset

    …and capture it.

     

  • Achadas da Cruz

    Achadas da Cruz, located on Madeiras west coast. Accessible by a steep cable car from a 450m high cliff.

     

  • Funchal suburbs

    Funchal suburbs within the „Banana line“. Looking behind the shiny front row buildings reveals different perspectives.
    The yellow well aged building caught my attention.

  • L.E. Kayaking

    Kayaking is life. Finally did a tour from Leipzig city harbour to lake Cospuden. The best way to explore nature. And to enjoy summer.

  • Hello Teide!

    1200m above sea level. This is the highest point I reached on my bike trips on Gran Canaria this summer. High enough to catch a view over to Tenerife with Mt. Teide. (far in the back of the image)
    And high enough to reach another climatic zone. It became green up there.

    Imagine the fun riding it all back down to sea level.
