England 2022

A friend is visiting me over the weekend. They caught the earliest possible flight so we had some time in the morning and all afternoon to explore London before heading to my apartment. And so we got off the tube at Hyde Park Corner and made our way to the city centre, to Buckingham Palace,…

England 2016 (2)

When I lived in London my commute consisted of a cycle ride and a train trip (sometimes I would cycle all the way, but that was well over one hour cycling). And the cycle ride would often lead me through Richmond Park. The park is quite big, at least much bigger than I had expected…

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…

Thuringia 2008

This is one of the many photos I’ve taken on walking, hiking, or bicycle trips over the years. Just a snapshot of the landscape because I liked it that much. When I look at it today, the colours of the sky are a bit weak, but you can’t have everything.

Ore mountains 2010

I hope winter for this year is over, as I’m looking very much forward to cycling in the warmth. This year I didn’t see just some snowflakes falling, and not even anything on the ground. Hopefully there will be more snow in the next winters (but there is not much hope: https://interactive-atlas.ipcc.ch/). The photo was…

Thuringia 2010 (2)

Autumn starts to become visible in the image. It was one of the many cycle rides I did in the local area I was living at the time.

La Palma 2014 (2)

This was a lovely hike, passing from the dry landscape close to Santa Cruz de La Palma to the area where enough water is available to sustain a pine forest. Thereby, the trees collect their own water from the little droplets of the clouds, that are often hanging around the hills,. The steep landscape provides…

Ore mountains 2004

At the time I worked shifts, including weekends. And I cycled every day 15 km to work and 15 km back, which meant I was really fit. One sunny Wednesday I headed out cycling and, after half a day, passed by this bridge. Getting off the bicycle to take pictures and look around was a…

La Palma 2014

I lived on the Canary Island La Palma for one year. It was an amazing year. There are more pictures to share, this is one of the first ones, taken at the beginning of a walk on my first morning on the island. And when I say walk, it actually turned out to be a…
