England 2022 (6)
The last entry about England I complained about the drought. That has changed in the last few weeks, there is now often wet gray November weather. Although, even with some rain, for the ground we will still be in a drought for a few months (if average rainfall falls). But, thanks to southerly currents, it’s […]

La Palma 2015
As part of a conference, I spent the afternoon on the Roque de Los Muchachos, visited at telescopes, waited for nightfall and only went back to the city after dark. We stopped again on the way down and had a good view over the west side of the island. Santa Cruz is brightly lit with […]

Norway 2014 (11)
We have only seen so much water with so much speed at this point on our hike through northern Norway. So it was good to have a bridge. Probably not everyone feels comfortable when crossing because it consists of a lot of nothing. In terms of weather, you can see the change to good weather […]

Norway 2014 (8)
According to the map we expected a bridge, but only found a ford. It wasn’t the first we had to cross, the nice thing was that the sun was shining this time. The only problem was that we only had one pair of sandals. This was always allowed to be worn by those who wanted […]

Spain 2017
I had the chance to visit friends in Spain. And so, at the beginning of March, this hike in the Sierra de Huetor National Park took place with not exactly the best weather and yet it was already very spring-like. There was a lot of change in the landscape again, from olive groves through dry […]

Norway 2014 (7)
Before our hike we had a day to explore Tromsø. We used part of the time to visit the Fjellheisen, from where you have a really nice view over the city. There we unpacked our walking sticks for the first time to practice handling them before the heavy backpack would be added. We had some […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]
