London May 2015
A few weeks ago I was with friends in London. We were in the city for 4 days. 2 of us have never been there and I was in London over 8 years. So My friend who knows the city really well, did a sight seeing with us. We went to London Eye, of course we took a ride. We saw the Big Ben, Westminster Palace, Westminster Abby, Lambeth Palace, Buckingham Palace, St. James Palace, Hyde Park, The Tower, Tower Bridge, Millenium Bridge, St. Paul’s Cathedral, The Monument, Picadelli Circus, Baker Street, Trafalgar Square and more… It was really a lot in a very short time. My feet are still hurting but it was worth it. In case you are wondering,…
Park Sanssouci
Heute morgen war ich zu einem Termin in der Nähe vom Park Sanssouci in Potsdam. Da ich diese Woche Urlaub habe, habe ich dies genutzt und meine Kamera mitgenommen, um nach dem Termin im Park zu fotografieren. Meine kleine Tour hat etwa um 9 Uhr begonnen und um diese Zeit waren noch sehr wenige Leute im Park unterwegs. Ich habe meine Tour am Neuen Palais gestartet und bin anschließend direkt durchgelaufen zum Schloss Sanssouci. Normalerweise sind dort immer Leute und es ist fast unmöglich Fotos vom Schloss und den Treppen ohne Menschen zu bekommen. Ich hatte aber Glück.
Potsdam Tour
Eine Freundin lebt bereits seit einigen Jahren in Potsdam und heute war es endlich soweit, dass sie mir ein kleine Tour durch die Stadt gegeben hat. Ich war bereits hin und wieder in Potsdam, habe aber immer nur die gleichen Ecken gesehen. Es war also an der Zeit mal etwas mehr von der Stadt kennenzulernen.
Unsere Tour hat am Alten Markt begonnen. Dort befindet sich die Nikolai Kirche, das Stadtschloss und die Fachhochschule. Nicht weit entfernt befindet sich der Lustgarten, welcher als nächstes auf unsere Tour besucht wurde.
Park Babelsberg im Frühling
Gestern war so ein schöner Tag und ich musste mal an die frische Luft. Also bin ich zum Park Babelsberg in Potsdam gefahren und habe den Park fotografisch erkundet.
Ostdeutscher Rosengarten in Forst
Bei einem Besuch in meiner Heimatstadt darf ein Spaziergang durch den Ostdeutschen Rosengarten nicht fehlen.
Rest in Peace Pablo
A few weeks ago I lost my cat Pablo. I miss him terribly. If you don’t have or had any pets, you may not get it. Pablo was always there for me. It was nice to come home to someone. I wasn’t alone in my apartment. When I woke up in the morning, he always came to cuddle for a few minutes. On some mornings he was waiting for me to open my eyes. As soon as he saw I was awake he came to lie on top of me and get some love. He hated it when I sat on my computer because it meant he wasn’t in the center of my attention. When I sat on my couch to watch tv or read a book he slept next to me. Most of the time he needed some contact to me.
I think he hated it when I tool pictures of him. When he was sleeping and I took a picture he woke up and sometimes he even left. But these pictures helped me a lot in the last weeks because I was so cute and I loved him.
So this is one of the last photos I took. We were both on my couch. Pablo was sleeping and I was playing with my camera and my fisheye lens. I tried to take a photo of Pablo just for fun and of couse he woke up , because I was like 5cm infront of his nose. He wasn’t amused but I got my photo and really like it.
Berlin Mitte
Today I went to Berlin Mitte with a friend. We walked around and each took some photos. When the sun came out it was actually pretty great. I’m really waiting for spring. It’s time for some warmer days.
We started walking from Friedrichtsstraße to Bode Museum and Lustgarten. After taking some photos from Berlin Cathedral we went along Unter den Linden to Brandenburger Tor. We wanted to finish on the Main Train Station, so we also saw the Reichstag Building.
Berlin Tiergarten zur blauen Stunde
One day after work I went to Berlin to take some photos in the blue hour. I went to Brandenburger Tor and just started walking. I took some photos of House of the Cultures of the World (Haus der Kulturen der Welt) and Reichstag building with the tv tower in the background. In the end I went back to Brandenburger Tor and did some photos.
bouquet of tulips
It’s spring and this weekend the weather wasn’t that great so I bought a bouquet of tulips to have some spring in my living room. And today I tried different variations of photos of that bouet. I tried with different lenses and with different lightning.
Siegessäule
An einem Tag letzte Woche war so schönes Wetter, dass ich nach der Arbeit zur Siegessäule gefahren bin. Ich bin alle 285 Stufen nach oben geklettert und hatte eine schöne Sicher über Berlin. Als ich oben war, war die Sonne gerade am untergehen. Das Licht war also nicht mehr sehr stark. An einem schönen Sommertag werde ich nocheinmal da hoch gehen.
