Cool, I Have Won Mineral Water


I had a bit of luck this week. I am following one German site that regularly collects and posts promotional contests that are running across the internet, and I like this site because the guys behind it weed out all the shady contests. In other words, they do a really good job to only post about contests of serious and very well-known companies. Once in a while, like every one or two weeks on a boring day, I go through all of the recent contests and participate in some of them that I like. I prefer the contests where I … Continue reading Cool, I Have Won Mineral Water

Weekly Photo Challenge: H2O


A little bit late, but here comes my entry to the WordPress Photo Challenge of this week. I’ve been busy with other things but yesterday I tried to look for a photo in my library that would fit to the H2O theme, and to be honest because the decision was difficult as I have so many photos that would fit. I decided to show you one that I shot in the garden, you might think I took a photo of the rain, but I just asked my mother to simulate rain with the water hose. It’s one of the photos … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: H2O

Rising World Alpha Patch 0.7 Released, Including Water Feature


There is a new patch for Rising World, many people waited for the release because it was previously mentioned that the patch would add water to the world in the game. So, from now on you will find ponds, lakes and oceans in Rising World after Steam downloaded the Alpha Patch 0.7 for you. According to the patch notes, there are still some features to add before the water really adds up with you gameplay, because the water is at the moment only static. The water will not interact with the terrain yet, there are no physics, which means the … Continue reading Rising World Alpha Patch 0.7 Released, Including Water Feature

Harbor Area In Lübeck


Fun fact, I have 5200 images that I didn’t upload yet, because taking photos is much easier than preparing or uploading them. At times I should upload older ones. Above you can see a photo I shot in Lübeck near the harbor area. You can see the Trave River in the photo. This is one of the photos where I wondered how it would turn out, I shot the photo after I got my D7100. I believe I was drawn to the colours in the heaven and the reflections in the water. The photo was shot in the morning, during … Continue reading Harbor Area In Lübeck

First Winter Hikes


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

Beautiful Eurasian Coot


In the photo above you can see an Eurasian coot, I shot the photo near a pond when I walked through the parks. I believe it’s the first time that I took a photo of an Eurasian coot, or the first time I uploaded one to my blog. It’s good to have some other bird photos uploaded to the blog, although it’s sad that we don’t have so much colourful birds in Germany, our birds are rather common and not so paradisiacal, but still beautiful I think.
