First Winter Hikes

Dennis

As I mentioned, I moved temporary to take care of my uncle until he feels better, but that doesn’t mean that I have no free time, because his wife takes care too, and that means there is still enough time for myself. I know the village already, but I never checked the whole area and as someone who likes to hike, I thought it would be a good idea to do that. The place could be interesting in summer, there are lots of fields and farms, some smaller forests, and very small lakes. We have winter and everything should be … Continue reading First Winter Hikes

Gathering

Dennis

The photo above is my entry to the recent photo challenge. I thought I could use one of my bird photos for the theme “gathering”, although I shot the photo by the end of summer. Some photo challenges do remind me to go through the photos which I didn’t upload yet. You can see cormorants in the photo, I found them when I walked through the Schellbruch preserve area outside of our city. I really like cormorants, they are very interesting birds.

Close-Up Plant Photo

Dennis

Here is a plant photo that I shot by the end of summer in a local school garden. The original photo was really bad, with extreme highlights, but then I noticed that the plant was not too much overexposed, only the rest of the image.

Even that close, I was happy to see that the plant was just a little blurry, and that I could fix this with sharpening and a little amount of clarity. I like the result, except that … Continue reading Close-Up Plant Photo

Beautiful Narrow Alley

Dennis

Since everything is grey outside, and as I am not very inspired currently, I thought I take a look at my photo folders and upload a few older ones. Here is a photo I shot last summer or so, it is a beautiful narrow alley, we have many of them in the city centre of Lübeck, but to find them, you must know where they are. Some of them are very hidden, others not. Continue reading Beautiful Narrow Alley

Eye Spy

Dennis

It’s interesting, yesterday I uploaded a photo of my cat Shyna and I talked about her eyes, and today there is the photo challenge called Eye Spy, a photo challenge about eyes. Don’t worry, I have so many photos of Shyna, and I thought the photo of this post fits very well to the challenge. To be honest, I like this photo even more, it’s extremely cute anyhow. If you wonder what she has in her mouth, she was chewing on a cat play pole, but it looks as if she would drink from a straw. I shot several photos … Continue reading Eye Spy
