England 2022 (7)
After a few clear days with frosty nights, the air was a little moister last night, so that the clear days are now. Moisture on frozen ground meant riding a bike would have been an unnecessary risk. Still, I was drawn outside. Even if it wasn’t snow, ice needles look good too. After three hours…

England 2022 (6)
The last entry about England I complained about the drought. That has changed in the last few weeks, there is now often wet gray November weather. Although, even with some rain, for the ground we will still be in a drought for a few months (if average rainfall falls). But, thanks to southerly currents, it’s…

La Palma 2015
As part of a conference, I spent the afternoon on the Roque de Los Muchachos, visited at telescopes, waited for nightfall and only went back to the city after dark. We stopped again on the way down and had a good view over the west side of the island. Santa Cruz is brightly lit with…

Thuringia 2010 (2)
It was good to get out on the day, the colors were just great. And I guess I enjoyed the sunshine in October. Without the picture I would completely miss the memories of the day. But what I’ve been thinking about now is how often I probably wasn’t outside back then, despite the nice weather.…

Ore mountains 2005
A few rays of light come through the dense forest. Maybe we should have dug for the treasure there.
