St. Jakobi Church in Lübeck


As I mentioned often, we have quite a lot of churches in Lübeck, and other old architecture. As I mentioned too, I am not very religious, but I am still interested in architecture, especially old structures including churches. The church in the photo is called St. Jakobi church and was built in the year 1334. The church has the title “church of the seafarers” since the medieval. Many churches of Lübeck were totally destroyed during the second world war, and most of them had to be reconstructed or repaired afterward, but the St. Jakobi church was not damaged during the … Continue reading St. Jakobi Church in Lübeck

14 Miles Hike Again, Enjoying The Schellbruch


Today I decided on impulse to walk to the Schellbruch again, it’s quite a long hike with 14 miles, but it’s worthwhile as there are many interesting things on the route through Lübeck. I didn’t even upload all the images I shot the last time I was there, but it’s still a good idea to take new photos, because I like it if I have folders I can choose from. The photo above is a new one I shot today, the weather report said it would be a cloudy day, but not rainy. It was a completely different colour setting … Continue reading 14 Miles Hike Again, Enjoying The Schellbruch

A Trave River Harbor Installation And The History Behind It


I shot the photo above one month ago when I wandered through Lübeck. The photo in this post is shot near the inner-city, the side where I shot the photo from is the historic district of Lübeck, but in this photo you can only see the old harbor installation on the other side of the district, in the middle is the Trave River. We call the area on the other side Wallhalbinsel, which means something like “Wall-Peninsula”. To explain this, what you see on the photo is a peninsula, it’s an artificial island, here is how the peninsula looks like … Continue reading A Trave River Harbor Installation And The History Behind It

My First Long Exposure Photo Outside In The Evening


My mother and her husband asked me today if I would like to accompany them when they drive to the beach in Travemünde in the evening. That was a nice idea, I planned to use my tripod and to take some evening or night photos at some point anyway, and the beach is a perfect subject. I have read a lot about long exposure, for example when I tested long exposure at home, I also learned how to set up all things manually with my D7100. That means, I know already a little bit about the theory, it was time … Continue reading My First Long Exposure Photo Outside In The Evening

Half And Half: Heaven And Water Divided By Industrial Architecture


I shot the photo in this post a few weeks ago when I walked a long march to the Schellbruch in Lübeck. Before I arrived, I had to walk along the Trave River and through the industrial area you see in the photo. To be honest, this is a photo I find very attractive. I know, self-praise is no recommendation, but there is so much blue going on in the image that I simply love this scene, there is something I love about this image, it’s all the blue. I also like how the warehouse does cut the heaven and … Continue reading Half And Half: Heaven And Water Divided By Industrial Architecture
