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

Alternative Evening Meal Habits


I discovered fresh cheese for myself, I ate similar spread before but the fresh cheese consists of much less fat. Last week I found one with 5% fat content and that alone would be much less fat than a low-fat margarine has. I saw a wraps recipe where fresh cheese with 0.4% fat was mentioned and that’s how I got into this. The lowest I could find in my favorite grocery store was 0.8% and I purchased this one regularly this week. Of course, that’s no real alternative to low-fat margarine in every case, because I wouldn’t eat meat with … Continue reading Alternative Evening Meal Habits

Weekly Photo Challenge: Bridge


The current WordPress Photo Challenge comes with the topic bridge. It’s funny, I really can’t tell you how much bridge photos I shot, I am not even sure why I do that, but I can tell you that I have tons of bridge photos. I don’t know, sometimes I like the textures of the cement or wood, or the graffiti work that makes materials look very urban. There must be some kind of reason why I take these photos, maybe it’s just that we have too much bridges here (laugh). Joke aside, yeah I think it’s about the structure, the … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Bridge

Beautiful Blossoms


I don’t know when and where exactly I took this photo, but I thought it looks beautiful and I want to have this in my personal online library of photos. As always when I upload a flowery photo, I have no idea what kind of plant this is. I find it much more difficult to research about plants than let’s say animals or birds. I hope you like this photo and if you are new to the blog, check out my photography portfolio if you are in the mood to take a look at photos. Continue reading Beautiful Blossoms

Beautiful Grey Heron


Since I started to run, I always try to run routes where I can see a bit of nature. Yesterday when I was running again, I noticed a grey heron and I was a bit mad that I did not have my camera with me. When I was in Reinfeld back then I noticed that grey herons often come back to the same ponds. So, with that in mind I packed my camera bag and wanted to hike the same route that I did run yesterday. I was quite happy when I saw the grey heron again, but this time … Continue reading Beautiful Grey Heron
