Playing Dart


I noticed that my mother and her husband have a dart board in their garden now. It’s been a while since I played dart and I challenged them to play it with me. I am out of practice but I improved again with each round. But of course I am a much better hobby photographer than a dart player and I wanted a picture of the darts with shallow depth of field or blurred background. My 50mm lens was attached and I like this lens for this type of photography, so that I shot the photo… Continue reading Playing Dart

Hats for Cats


I kid you not, the following was not staged. While I am very accurate with some things in my life, I am sometimes a chaos person too. Currently I don’t have a laundry bin, but even if I would have one, it would just animate me to collect dirty laundry. That’s at least what I experienced when I owned one of those larger laundry baskets that you can close with a basket cap. Yes, maybe a small one would be better but currently I prefer the chaos variant and collect a bit of laundry at the corner on my bed … Continue reading Hats for Cats

Tasty French Fries For The Almost Flat Belly


Today I went to a takeaway with my mother because we got the idea to eat french fries. My mother wanted them with ketchup and I got mine with mayonnaise because I love mayonnaise. It was very tasty, and I just allowed myself to eat it. As I previously mentioned, I had the plan to make more sports and to shrink my belly by doing so. I didn’t want to change my nutrition too much, but I definitely experimented with low-calorie food and I do now only drink water instead of ice tea. With that said, I did some things … Continue reading Tasty French Fries For The Almost Flat Belly

Beautiful Side Streets in the Historic District of Lübeck


I still think that you can take nice photos with a phone camera or with a point and shoot camera. The image above was shot with one of both, I guess it was my phone back then but I am not sure. At the end it’s about the right place and sometimes also about the right time. But if you are in a good place, it’s always worth a shot, no matter if it’s just a phone or a point and shoot camera. I don’t want to forget the photos that I shot with these devices, that means sometimes I … Continue reading Beautiful Side Streets in the Historic District of Lübeck

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual


This week the WordPress Photo Challenge is about unusual things, and I think I can participate with a photo. When I lived in Reinfeld for a half year, I did often hike through the small forest areas because it was so easy and fast to get to the forests compared to living in a city. You get used to it that you have more nature next to your door than in a city. I sometimes walked the same routes, but sometimes I also tried to discover different ways. One day I walked a to me new route, and then I … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual

Tasty Bulgur Salad


I like to eat some Turkish and Arabic meals and side dishes. I do for example like Bulgur salad. I have a Turkish fruit dealer around the corner and I know this family since a very long time. Years ago when I bought fruits, she suggested me to try her Turkish Bulgur salad. I said that it would look like Cous Cous and that I really love Cous Cous, but she replied that it would be similar, just still not the same. I got a small box filled with Bulgur for free, including the suggestion to put it on lettuce … Continue reading Tasty Bulgur Salad
