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…

England 2021
It took a bit longer than expected, but finally the clouds moved away and the sun came out. The above picture shows the clouds, moving left. Until then the cycle ride in this early October Sunday was a bit chilly. After the sun came out I watched out for a quiet place to have lunch…

Norway 2014 (3)
The glacier relatively close to the hut (Vuomahytta) would have been a nice goal for a day trip, I think. It would have still been a day of hiking, as two thirds of the distance there wouldn’t have been a path. However, we didn’t schedule a rest day in our hiking trip in Norway, and…

Cornwall 2018 (2)
The weather in the UK during that June and July in 2018 was surprisingly sunny. I remember thinking two weeks before my holiday, that if it’s sunny now, I will probably have a lot of rain on my cycle tour. And even this one week of dry weather was unexpected. But no, it didn’t rain…

Calar Alto October 2011
Observing time at large telescopes is valuable and sometimes one only observes several hours a night (e.g. the transit of an exoplanet) and the rest of the time is for other projects. The big advantage for the visiting observer is, that they can enjoy the night sky on such a dark sport themselves. Although, the…

Heidelberg (Germany) 2013
A conference allowed me to visit Heidelberg. One late afternoon and evening was left free for the visit of Heidelberg Castle, above the town and the river Neckar. The view was great, and the sunset even better.

La Palma 2021
Amazing how the clouds behave like a river. They overflow a mountain ridge on La Palma, some warm up so much that they evaporate on the way down while others just keep moving along. The see of clouds in the foreground is also really interesting to watch, the ups and downs the relative movement between…

Germany 2014
I think this is one of the loveliest stretches of the cycle path along the Danube river. It’s narrow and hilly and so the area is quite empty of people, and more importantly, cars. This was the second time I cycled it on a tour from Thuringia to visit friends in Switzerland. River cycle paths…

Norway 2014 (2)
The hike from hut to hut along the Norwegian-Swedish Border had many great views. Being so remotely was nice. It also made the hikes harder, as we had to bring food for a week, sleeping bag, and every thing else that might be needed for a week away from civilisation, but every arrival felt good.…

Thuringia 2010
I have no memory, where the photo was taken. But I do like the variety of different greens, together with the colourful spots from the summer flowers.
