Slovakia 2013

These photos were taken when leaving the High Tatras. Before that I spent a few days at work and two days on holiday there. Today the bike tour back to Germany started. It would probably have been a great time-lapse if I had thought so at sunrise. Then it was completely clear there and there…

Ore mountains 2008

During the semester break I had the chance to go for a ride on my bike on a sunny morning. The sunshine was great, but the best moment was when I came out of the forest and could see the mist over the valley, something I had very rarely seen before. It wasn’t until a…

Arizona 2010 (2)

After arriving on Mt. Hopkins in Arizona, USA, with almost no problems, I explored the area. However, this was a little different from Germany, there were dangerous animals here. I didn’t see a rattlesnake, but I did see a bear. The first time I was on my way to the telescope, which was another 3km…
