Thailand 2020
Working days at the telescope in Thailand were always intense. The instrument and data analysis were improved during the day and then tested on stars at night. But luckily the boss didn’t want to work 12 hours every day either, so we also did small activities, such as the hiking trail to the Kew Mae…

South-Tirol 2012
What do you do for the first hike on vacation? You start walking and see where you get to. At some point you have a goal and you can easily reach it. And because you still feel fit, everything is so new and interesting, you think you can go a little further on the way…

Maui 2012 (2)
The last transit of Venus took place in the summer of 2012. As part of this, I had the chance to take part in a workshop that included observing the transit. The accommodation for the workshop was at 1000 meters, on the slopes of Haleakala. And why use a car when you can also rent…

Norway 2014 (11)
We have only seen so much water with so much speed at this point on our hike through northern Norway. So it was good to have a bridge. Probably not everyone feels comfortable when crossing because it consists of a lot of nothing. In terms of weather, you can see the change to good weather…

Ore mountains 2012
A multi-day hike through the Vogtland and Erzgebirge in Germany gave us this fantastic view at almost 900m altitude. The hike was almost exactly 10 years ago. I probably didn’t have a lot of emotions on the trek, as few details have stayed with me to this day. I still remember a lot of the…

England 2020 (2)
This photo was taken on a hike with a friend. At first I just found it interesting that the thistle only has one ring of flowers, the upper and lower ones had already fallen out. Then, when I saw the butterfly, I knew I had to take a picture (it was more a must than…

Thailand 2018 (2)
My first business trip to Thailand was planned at short notice and as I and a friend had arranged to visit me in England, I wasn’t able to stay as long as I (and the project) had hoped. But it was still great, I mean how lucky to be able to travel to other countries…

La Palma 2014 (7)
After my second weekend bike tour on La Palma (described in La Palma (6)) on Saturday, I was already back on my bike on Sunday. I had sent the bike from Germany to La Palma and had to do without it for 3 weeks, apparently I then tried to make up for the bike withdrawal.…

Hawaii 2011
After my observation nights at the Subaru telescope in Hawaii, I had the chance to spend a few more days on the Big Island, Hawaii. Besides renting a bicycle (who would have thought it), I also rented a car for one day. And so, almost by accident on my birthday, I went to the active…
