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

Weekly Photo Challenge: Pattern


The photo above is my contribution to the “Weekly Photo Challenge: Pattern“. I took the photo in the St. Marien Church in Lübeck when my me and my mother walked through the Historic Downtown of Lübeck. The church is like most churches in Lübeck pretty huge. I am not so religious but anyway interested in culture and I count the churches of Lübeck to culture and that is why I still like to take photos of them. Because they show what kind of great brick gothic architecture, you can find in my city. Here are two more photos… Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Pattern

A Photo of two Sand Lizards and further Informations


My little young cousin did catch two Sand Lizards for a short photoshoot in Salem (in North Germany). It´s one older and one younger Sand Lizard. Indeed… she did release both to the nature after taking the photos because the Sand Lizards are threatened due to the continuing endangerment of their habitats which I will explain further in this article here. But my little cousin reminds me to my own childhood. She is always on the campground in Salem with grandma and grandpa. There is a lot of nature and she´s just discovering that all in her young years like … Continue reading A Photo of two Sand Lizards and further Informations

Weekly Photo Challenge: Up


This is my contribution to the “Weekly Photo Challenge: Up“, while I must admit that the husband of my mother took the photo, when he visited a friend who is living in an apartment tower. The quality of the photo is not so good but anyway I do like the image. What you can see on the image, is a small part of Lübeck´s skyline. There is one old freight depot on the right side of the bridge and I took a photo some time ago. You can´t see it but in the direction behind the bridge is the train … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Up
