Hot Weather… Fresh Drinks… less Sugar!


I know, I know… I bitched about the hot summer a lot. But some fresh drinks are great to cool down. I now want to write about something, I changed in my alimentary habits. I am not a big fan of sugar-containing drinks anymore. I do think those industry drinks full of sugar are everything else but not healthy. On the other side I don´t really want to make rocket science when I get thirsty. There is a good compromise. I still buy industry drinks but I mix the stuff or let me say I dilute the sugar I consume … Continue reading Hot Weather… Fresh Drinks… less Sugar!

Midsummer? I feel sick!


This will be rather a short status update and I do think there won´t be much blog posts next days maybe weeks. It´s midsummer here and it is horrible hot in north germany while I would not like to be in south germany now. The last days were horrible hot and even the sea is warm like water in the bathtub. It´s midnight and still hot like in africa. Well, the news said the air is actually coming from africa. There is no breeze and the air moisture and temperature makes me sick. It´s like somebody is crushing my head … Continue reading Midsummer? I feel sick!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Nostalgic


We visited a nostalgic palace in Schwerin, which means that the Weekly Photo Challenge: Nostalgic comes to the right time. The palace is build on an island surrounded by lakes. The palace is called “Schloss Schwerin” and it is a very beautiful place. The palace is build in 1845-57 by order of Friedrich Franz II as a residence for the grand dukes of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. I think the architecturally idea is called neo-renaissance style and remembers a little bit to the french style like the Chambord. Today Schloss Schwerin is a museum. Outside it is already beautiful but sadly we didn´t … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Nostalgic

Anywhere in the Inner-City of Lübeck


This is just another new photo of any street in the inner-city of Lübeck. I edited it a little bit with Android Pixlr-o-matic. The result is a little bit grungy. I do like the image anyhow. I am born in Lübeck and after a while I started to think that my city is pretty boring. But the more photos I take, the more I start to regain a passion for this city. This seems to be one interesting side-effect of the photography and does not only count for my city but also for nature and everything else around me, I … Continue reading Anywhere in the Inner-City of Lübeck

Bumblebee seeking Dust on a Flower


I had to visit to the authorities yesterday and I found this bumblebee on my way, seeking for dust on a flower. I noticed many of them but decided to go closer to take close-up shot of one of them. When I saw the images on my smart phone display, I thought the photos would be great. But arrived at home, I thought that the photo quality is not so good. But I decided to upload them anyway, because I like to have photos of insects and animals in general on my blog. But also photos of flowers. I think … Continue reading Bumblebee seeking Dust on a Flower
