Buttermere Lake Reflections, Cumbria, England
Buttermere Lake is a famous location in the Lake District of Northern England. Surrounded by scenic mountains and remote enough (one needs to drive some time to get there), it is certainly a location on top of the bucket list for landscape photographers—so it was on mine when we first visited the Lake District. The […]
Portland Bill Lighthouse, Dorset, England
[the_ad id=”61716″] During our first trip to the Jurassic Coast, we stayed on the Portland peninsula. The Portland Bill Lighthouse is located on the southern tip of Portland, above some quite picturesque cliffs. We walked around these cliffs several times during our stay, but only one evening was the weather dramatic enough to give the […]
Frosty Leaves, Odenthal, Northrine Westfalia, Germany
[the_ad id=”61716″] We were on our way back from an extensive Sunday Morning Walk. The night had brought some frost, and whilst the morning sun was burning away most of it, the shadows kept their lovely coat for some time. These leaves caught my eye—forming quite an abstract pattern with the ice sitting on the […]
Falkenhagener See, Brandenburg, Germany
[the_ad id=”61716″] When visiting my family near Berlin, we have the chance to experience really cold weather —at least during Christmas or New Year’s Eve—where lakes freeze over. This does not last long and is a rare beauty in the surroundings of Berlin. West of Berlin lies Falkensee (falcon-see) with two lakes. One of our […]
Muehlenweg, Odenthal, Northrine Westfalia, Germany
[the_ad id=”61716″] I took a morning walk after a heavy snowstorm the night before – my usual route through some woods near my home. I was pretty lucky, as the sun came out and transformed the winter landscape into a real winter wonderland. Those trees have never looked that fascinating. I was very happy, as […]
Porlock Marshes Lone Trees, Exmoor, England
[the_ad id=”61716″] We went for a walk into the Porlock Marshes, Exmoor, on a dull afternoon. We were quite alone and had the marshes completely for ourselves. Years ago, the marshes were flooded with salt water, leaving some “dead trees” behind that form quite interesting scenery. The black-and-white transformation adds to the strange moodiness of […]
Gloebusch, Northrine Westfalia, Germany
We are fortunate to live in a rural area with fields, forests and small streams – quite rare in highly industrialised Northrine Westfalia. We take afternoon walks regularly, sometimes a nice chance to take pictures as we go. Some weeks ago, the sun was finally shining again – after weeks of overclouded skies, we got […]
Gruene Hoelle, Rheinland Pfalz, Germany
We were on vacation in the beautiful Eifel region in Rheinland Pfalz, Germany. There is an area of outstanding natural beauty called the “green hell” (Gruene Hoelle), which we explored during an autumn hike with quite murky weather conditions. The black and white transformation best conveys the ‘moodiness’ of this hike despite the lack of […]
Portland Bill Lighthouse, Dorset, England
We were on our first holiday to the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. On one of my explorations on the Isle of Portland, I came across the Portland Bill Lighthouse, which oversees a nice coastline. During some more interesting weather conditions with moving clouds and wind, I was able to capture this shot of the Lighthouse […]
Buttermere, Lake District, England
[the_ad id=”61716″] During our first vacation to the Lake District, I planned an early morning shot of the Buttermere Lake to capture the sunrise. The drive took about two hours, and as it was summertime, I had to get up really early. However, it was all worth the effort. I found the lake absolutely quiet […]
