First The Bad Change, Then The Good Change

Dennis

The recent WordPress Photo Challenge is about change. When I think about changes, a lot would come to my mind, but then I found a photo in my folders that I shot last year, it’s a photo about two big changes, the divided Germany, and also the German reunification. I will show you remaining pieces of the wall that divided East and West Germany. I shot the photo somewhere between the federal states Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, not far away from our city Lübeck that was on west side of the border, but pretty close to it. As our city was … Continue reading First The Bad Change, Then The Good Change

Schellbruch Bird Flocks

Dennis

I did put together a gallery of photos that I shot at the Schellbruch, I noticed many birds showed flocking or swarm behaviour and I want to show you the photos. It was pretty interesting to see all the birds, and to hear them, in flocks they are quite loud, it’s really a nature spectacle and I enjoyed this much. When I was there, I met a nature park ranger who was counting the birds, I am sad that I didn’t ask how he is doing it, but while we talked about other things, he was often looking through his … Continue reading Schellbruch Bird Flocks

One Cormorant

Dennis

When I hike to the Schellbruch, the cormorants are the easiest to spot. To be honest, it’s easy to find other birds there too, but it’s much easier to take photos of the cormorants because they are big birds, and they sit or fly everywhere in this area. I shot the photo near the Trave River at the Schellbruch, I am not sure what this red thing is, it’s most likely a sign for the mariner or so, there are other signs and cormorants seem to enjoy resting on them. The birds do also make sounds, it’s interesting to listen … Continue reading One Cormorant

Beautiful Plant In The Forest

Dennis

I saw the plant above in a small forest during my hike through the Schellbruch. I am not sure what kind of wild plant it is, I just thought it is a very beautiful plant. Apart from the plant, I do also like the depth of field and bokeh in the photo, I really like the result. Although it’s not working in every situation with my Nikon 18-105mm kit lens, I am happy that I learned how to get this kind of effect in some situations. If there is enough distance between the main subject and the stuff in the … Continue reading Beautiful Plant In The Forest

14 Miles Hike Again, Enjoying The Schellbruch

Dennis

Today I decided on impulse to walk to the Schellbruch again, it’s quite a long hike with 14 miles, but it’s worthwhile as there are many interesting things on the route through Lübeck. I didn’t even upload all the images I shot the last time I was there, but it’s still a good idea to take new photos, because I like it if I have folders I can choose from. The photo above is a new one I shot today, the weather report said it would be a cloudy day, but not rainy. It was a completely different colour setting … Continue reading 14 Miles Hike Again, Enjoying The Schellbruch

Mashed Potatoes With Spinach And Fried Eggs

Dennis

I am pretty much sure I posted photos of this dish quite often on my blog, because it’s one of my favorite dishes. Mashed potatoes with spinach and fried eggs, that is a fairly simple dish, even an untalented cook like me can prepare it. I know a lot of people who use a convenience product, a potato puree powder, you just boil water up, then you mix in the powder and milk. But you can also make it on your own if you have more time, it does even taste better. To fry eggs, that is no rocket science … Continue reading Mashed Potatoes With Spinach And Fried Eggs
