Calar Alto August 2010 (2)

The destination of today’s journey is already visible. But it will still be a long way to go, first it’s a few thousand meters down to the sea and then the taxi will take us over 2000 meters up again. However, it was great to have the right seat in the best weather, only on…

Brittany 2013 (3)

The sun was hot on this August day and we were really happy to have found a shady spot in such a beautiful setting for our late lunch. Maybe it was an afternoon snack instead, who knows 🙂 After the refreshment there was a walk to the sea before we continued the last 15 km…

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,…

Berlin 2021

I visited Germany last year by plane, mainly because I didn’t want to read and follow the regulations of two other countries (France, Belgium) through which the train journey goes (*). Since the flight was on time and entry with an EU passport was very quick (**), I still had a lot of time before…

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…

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…

Cornwall 2018 (3)

On my bike tour through Cornwall and Devon in the south-west of England, this stretch was something special: several kilometres of flat path. Before that it was a lot of ups and downs for two and a half days. And also after that flat stretch, I still had a lot of vertical metres. One way…

Calar Alto August 2010

After a night of observation, I usually long for sleep. This desire is strongest between 3am and 5am. But it can also be a good thing if one doesn’t give in to this wish straight away, because a sunrise like that can also be great. In this case it was a birthday call that I…

Norway 2014 (6)

The two pictures were taken within two minutes. And they remind me of my feelings, which wasn’t great at the time. The first sight of reindeer was somewhat exciting. But on the other side it was the third day walking with a heavy backpack, the landscape was barren, it was uphill, the clouds hang low,…
