The Cat Tree Issue


I wanted to share an edited photo of my cat Shyna, but something related weights on my mind so that I use this post to chat a bit. I did finish my living room and now I am looking to purchase a new cat scratching post. It’s funny, I can’t count anymore how often I discovered a niche over the last years. It basically happened again this week, at least to a certain extend. Most cat climbing trees that are sold in Germany are beige-colored, our old tree was the same. The color is ok but not exactly what I … Continue reading The Cat Tree Issue

Give Me Five Cat


My cat Shyna knows quite a lot of tricks. When I shot the photo above, I said “Give me five” but in German. But I wouldn’t be surprised if she can do it if I say it in English.

There must be some kind of reason why I take these photos, maybe it’s just that we have too much bridges here (laugh). Joke aside, yeah I think it’s about the structure, the … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Bridge

Black And White Metal Texture


Sometimes I do also take photos of textures. I do especially like metal surfaces that are rusty, or rust in general. I like these textures in color, but recently I started to experiment more with black and white effects, usually when the colours in the photos look dull or if there are other issues. That was the case with the photo above, the colours were not really prominent or special, but the surface texture got more defined when I applied a black and white and a bit more clarity. I think I didn’t often upload texture photos, maybe I should … Continue reading Black And White Metal Texture
