Here's another picture from my trip to Venice this summer. It shows one of the many typical narrow streets in Venice, away from the busy tourist routes. It was so narrow that it was difficult to avoid oncoming people. It leads directly to a small square, or inner courtyard, with a cosy restaurant, which I also photographed, of course, as...
Here is a picture from my trip to Venice in the summer of 2024, showing the St Mark's Tower from an interesting perspective, almost at eye level. I took the picture from the dome of the 'Basilica Santa Maria della Salute'. This makes it easy to see how the tower rises beautifully above the roofs of the rest of the...
Here's another picture of Crater Lake from my trip to the USA in summer 2023, showing Crater Lake with the setting sun and the crater rim in the background and a small wall from the viewpoint in the foreground. I particularly like the flare stars and the lens flare around the sun, as well as the wide 'sun path' on...
Here is another picture from my trip to Munich last year. I've only recently started working on the pictures from back then and I particularly liked this one. It shows a wooden footbridge in a small pond, beautifully framed by two red lanterns and surrounded by vegetation. The motif is located in the East Asia section of the Westpark in...
Here is a somewhat different, rather special picture. I took it over a year ago but somehow it never quite fit to upload it. And after fixing a few quality issues with the color profile last month, I'm finally uploading it. It shows a beautiful white crystal inside dark coffee beans, which in turn are lying on a saucer. I...
Here's another picture from my trip to the USA in summer 2023, again showing the impressive Crater Lake in Oregon. I particularly like the small island in the lake and the beautiful sunset mood. The picture is also framed in a really nice U-shape by the trees and draws the eye to the small island. I experimented a...
Here's another picture from my trip to the USA in summer 2023, showing a cute chipmunk sitting in a tree a few metres in front of me. I took it at a campsite near Lemolo Lake in Oregon. The chipmunks were quite trusting and one even sat in my hand for a moment! This was also the first...
Here is my picture of the beautiful Südbahnhotel, Semmering, which I took last October. It shows the beautiful hotel with the characteristic deep green roof, surrounded by autumnal trees and forests, and mountains in the background. I also really like the colors, accentuated by the light of the setting sun.
Here is the first picture of the new year and the second one from my vacation in Tuscany this summer. I took it during sunset and I like the golden light even better than the other one. It shows bushes in the foreground on the mountain from which I took the photo and some vines in the valley below. And...
Here's a picture from my holiday in Tuscany this summer: I took it in the evening just before sunset from a mountain near Massa Marittima. It shows a typical Tuscan landscape on different levels. You can see a cypress tree and several bushes in the foreground and a typical Tuscan country house with a vineyard far away in the valley...
Here is another picture from my trip to the USA: I took it at Crater Lake in Oregon in the late afternoon. It shows the beautiful mountainous landscape around Crater Lake in the setting sun and fog. On the lower left you can just make out the lake. I really like the vastness of the landscape and the mood of the sunset....
This is the second picture of my USA trip on my page. I took it on the "Union Creek Campground" in Oregon and it shows some twigs in the sunset. Even though it is a simple picture, I like the mood and the colors very much. I especially like the soft bokeh.
Here is another picture from my visit to Munich. It shows the so-called "Endless Staircase", a work of art by the artist Ólafur Elíasson, which can be visited in Munich since 2004 (address below). Officially, however, the artwork is called "Umschreibung". Even if you are not allowed to enter, it is still worth a visit. The unique shape combined...
