Weekly Photo Challenge: Details


I didn’t take a lot of new photos over the recent weeks, mainly because I was busy with other things, just recently I had to repair my PC for example. Also the weather is not really good in Northern Germany to have fun outside, it’s most of the time cloudy and rainy. This year is a bit strange, the spring felt like summer, and the summer is more like autumn here in the north. This weekend I saw the WordPress Photo Challenge with the motto “Details”, and I still can participate as I have way too many photos waiting to … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Details

Black And White Cat Photo


Here is yet again a photo of my cat Shyna. The photo was taken when I still was in Reinfeld, we shot the photo on the terrace as I had her on a leash. I edited the photo with Lightroom, I wanted to crop it a bit, I made changed to the tone curve and converted the image to black and white as I was not happy with the overblown highlights. My cat is always photogenic, it’s no rocket science to take pictures of her, because she will like all cats just look good. Continue reading Black And White Cat Photo

Weekly Photo Challenge: Look Up


Usually when I post photos of churches, it’s not because I am religious, I am actually not, it’s because I find churches interesting from an architectural standpoint. I saw the Look Up Photo Challenge on friday and thought it would be an interesting topic, but I couldn’t participate as a friend from Berlin did visit me over the weekend, and we took some drinks and had a lot of fun. Now it’s sunday and I am alone again, with headache of course, and I thought I do participate a bit delayed. My entry is a photo of the St. Mary’s … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Look Up

Our Garden Chicken


As I mentioned often, my mother and her husband have chickens in the garden and they are quite funny and good suppliers of bio eggs. I thought I upload a photo again of one of the chickens. I have way too many photos of them, and I really need to upload them over time too. Believe it or not, I think chickens are cute too, I like them so much because they follow me everywhere when I visit the garden. They are very trusting and social.

Forest Flowers


At the time I’ve been in Reinfeld, I really enjoyed it to hike through the small forests in that area. I did this regularly when I had free time, and it always helped me to gain new energy. I had my camera with me most of the time as I searched for photo subjects. In this post you can see a photo of flowers that I found in the forest. There was always something unexpected happening, one morning I found deer in the forest, another day a mouse by the wayside, I met talkative people on my way, or strangers … Continue reading Forest Flowers

Black Cat


At the moment we have just rainy days most of the time, but last week we had some good days. I was hiking last week when I noticed this black cat on the other side of the street, and I shot a photo. I mainly have photos of my cat Shyna in my cat photo category on this blog, and I am always happy if I can take photos of other cats at times. The black cat in my photo looks almost a bit grumpy, maybe the cat didn’t like that I was stalking with the camera. Anyway, I like … Continue reading Black Cat
