Rocks with Pine Cone

-

Some hikes require getting your feet wet, and it is a good thing. In dense forests with streams, you can finally escape reception and noise. All you hear is the chirping of birds and, if you are lucky, the grunting of wild boars. And you enjoy art made by nature.

Late Summer in the Countryside

-

It is still hot, but the days are getting shorter. It is August after all. We are impressed by how long the trees' shadows are.  And early in the morning, the countryside is full of life, with birds and hares everywhere.  Again: the province of Málaga is not just the coast. The interior is worth seeing and often has much more to offer. Here, near the small town of Archidona. Not far from the coast, but another world. Enjoy!

But, evidently, our town does not offer as much space and as many beautiful spots as a safari park ;-) Anyway, after work, I wanted to rediscover what I thought I already knew inside out. I saw dramatic skies, charming trees and streets waiting for me in the moonlight. I could not capture the smell of earth and moss after rain. Enjoy! You can find prints of and other stuff on my website following this link . The places where the pics were taken are also mentioned there.

Urban decay

January. Time to forget the holiday season and to concentrate on  new projects. I wanted to begin this new year with something different.  With my camera, I mostly try to capture beauty. From unusual angles, but beauty - little details which one does not see because he or she is looking at the phone or just rushing, and which make this very moment unique at that place. A couple of months ago though, I saw pathetic pictures of urban decay in bankrupt Detroit (among them, pictures of hope as well). Very good work. Some of those photos remind me strongly the situation here (by far not as bad as in Detroit of course), so that I felt committed to documenting the situation next to my door. I chose to work with black and white.  Some pictures may look a bit surrealistic, but they are all very real. No montages, no filters, just the situation as it is - me with my small camera: when windows are dirty or broken and the sun is shining, one does not need any technical means to...
