Weekly Photo Challenge: Change


The photos above are last images we could take when there was still a lot of snow. We had a strong and long winter until this april but the snow disappeared one week ago. The last winter pictures of 2013 above means change to me because of that. After this long and varied winter and even as a winter fan, I must admit that I now want some sunbeams as well. The dog of my mother above on the pictures, has probably the same request. 🙂 Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Change

Weekly Photo Challenge: Color


I had to search for a photo in my folders for the “Weekly Photo Challenge: Color” because as said, here in north germany is still everything full of snow. I found this flower here and I did shoot the photo last summer. I do think that the colors are pretty powerful and therefor I do think it is a good photo to participate in the challenge. What do you think? Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Color

Daily Prompt: Places


The Daily Post asks “Beach, mountain, forest, or somewhere else entirely?” and I must say it is difficult to answer. One thing is sure. Nature offers a lot of interesting places. And I am lucky that I can discover most of these places today even if it is via internet. Thank´s for all the interesting blogs, photos and stories in the internet. My financial condition would not allow me to travel to all of these interesting places. But there a many possibilities anyway. Born and living in the german federal state called Schleswig Holstein, I am surrounded by the North … Continue reading Daily Prompt: Places

Weekly Photo Challenge: Lost in the Details


This collection of seagull photos is my contribution to the Weekly Photo Challenge: Lost in the Details. We took these photos on the baltic coast in Travemünde (North Germany). I do think the photos fit to the photo challenge because they are close-up photos of the seagulls and I do think you can see a lot of details on the photo because the seagulls flown by pretty close. I really dislike self-praise but this time I have to say that the photos are simply awesome. But I do think we should thank the birds 🙂 I also would like to … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Lost in the Details

Weekly Photo Challenge: Forward


First of all let me note, I am on Pinterest now too. But now let me talk about the Weekly Photo Challenge. Here is my contribution to the “Weekly Photo Challenge: Forward“. It is a train (DB Class 295) in germany and well, a train rolls forward and that fact is why I do think the image fits to the challenge theme. 😉 I did capture the photo last summer 2012 and found it in my folders. I edited it a little bit today with Photoshop. I made some lens corrections like adding a vignette effect. I increased the brightness … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Forward

Weekly Photo Challenge: Illumination


I don’t know what got into me. But I really didn´t have any idea how I can participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge with the Motto Illumination. But then I found a blue LED at home and asked my self if I could use it for the Weekly Photo Challenge. I searched for more stuff and found a transparent vase which I filled with some water. I did put the vase on two books with a white paper on top. I did place the books so that there is still room between both books because I wanted the LED under … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Illumination
