Hawaii 2010
From Waimea I observed at the Keck telescope. Waimea is definitely not a tourist resort, the explorations during the day were not very interesting, I just walked on asphalt. But then I noticed something interesting: The vegetation zones changed very quickly. This can be seen clearly in the panorama picture of this blog entry. The…

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…

Brittany 2013 (2)
We saw this menhir from a small road on our bike tour through Brittany. It was pure coincidence, but impressive. A little further away was a very crooked stone.

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.

Andalusia 2012
Spring 2012 was my (so far) last visit to the Calar Alto Observatory. This time, however, I first went to nearby Granada, where I gave a presentation on my project and was then able to have helpful discussions with my colleagues there. On the day of arrival, but also in the mornings and evenings on…

Norway 2014 (5)
The was the second day of our hike in Norway, and it just looked lovely. The rest the night before was good, especially after a refreshing (very short) bath in one of the small ponds next to the hut. The views were just wonderful.

Sweden 2012 (2)
With a friend I cycled from Göteborg to Stockholm, where we visited another friend. On the way home I cycled alone to Trelleborg, and camped wild. The nice thing about Sweden is, that it’s legal, hence no need to worry about being seen. And it’s nice to have water always close, a swim to wash…

England 2016
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…

La Palma 2014 (3)
In March I was scheduled to work a few days on the highest mountain of La Palma. While I left home at sea level at 20°C, I found an amazing landscape on the mountain. The water of the clouds the days before froze to everything, slowly forming large sideways icicles, showing the wind direction.

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…
