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.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Arizona 2010
This was my first trip to another continent. Having flown to Spain to observe three times before, I felt well prepared. And I had prepared myself well, the trip went smoothly and immigration to the USA went well, apart from slight pronunciation problems, it was relaxed. But I had forgotten something: the weekend. And so…

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.

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.

Calar Alto February 2010
A business trip brought me on my first flight, looking down on the landscape was amazing. And then, at the airport in Almeria, it felt like summer holiday, only it was February. The observatory was covered in snow and we were above the clouds. That were so many good, and yet sometimes contradicting experiences. Thanks…
