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 […]

Calar Alto January 2011
Nobody else in the group wanted to take over this observation run at Calar Alto, which started on January 2nd. I had to reschedule my New Year’s Eve a bit, but the partial solar eclipse that was taking place at the same time really interested me. And so I celebrated New Year’s Eve until 2 […]

La Palma 2014 (8)
After I had been able to adapt my fitness to the landscape of La Palma by cycling for a month, I dared the big challenge of cycling towards the summit. However relaxed, I just wanted to see how far I could get. At 2000 meters I made a short excursion on foot towards Las Nieves, […]

La Palma 2014 (7)
After my second weekend bike tour on La Palma (described in La Palma (6)) on Saturday, I was already back on my bike on Sunday. I had sent the bike from Germany to La Palma and had to do without it for 3 weeks, apparently I then tried to make up for the bike withdrawal. […]

La Palma 2014 (6)
My second weekend bike tour on La Palma (the first is described in La Palma (5)) led south and steadily uphill again. Since I didn’t want to go back to the west side of the island, I used one of the forest paths back. From then on it was very quiet and I didn’t see […]

Racism in the middle of society — Ronny Errmann
Actually I wanted to meet a friend tonight who has his job at the university in Central Europe and wanted to go to a friends wedding at the weekend and wanted to see some other friends before then. But as the meetup didn’t work, I can write a little bit about racism. Racism is the […] […]

La Palma 2014 (4)
Most houses on La Palma have a roof terrace and due to the steep slopes, every house has a good view in at least one direction. Since I liked to get up early and because of the La Palma time zone, sunrises and sunsets are very late, I was able to enjoy the sunrise regularly. […]

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 […]

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 […]
