Probably as close as I’ll ever get to an action shot...

They say oistriches hide their heads in the sand in case of imminent danger... That may be something for oistriches, not for a fearless dachshund. However, during many a winter, experience has taught Robbie that the most interesting things can be found…

“No more flowers for me”, I thought, but I got weak when I saw this...

When we arrived, the weather in the Netherlands wasn’t quite as fair as we had wished, but then, all of a sudden, I had to think of the wise words of a good friend of mine. She once observed that, behind the clouds, the sun is shining ... always. You kno…

... after a day of hard work. You don’t really believe someone’s waiting for me with a camera, do you? Or that I’d ride an hour in Winter without gloves? No, it is a self-portrait, taken this Sunday in the late afternoon. From a tripod. To show that it’s…

As seen from my study. There were thunderbolts too, but they were too fast for me.

A photo of mine on Flickr caused considerable commotion: Could it really be that I boycott Apple’s iPod? This picture may serve as proof that I don’t. It belongs to my daughter (who wouldn’t do with less), not to me, but I ordered it. Yep, it’s the 8G…

My mother-in-law has a small platform behind her house where she can sit and watch the ships passing by. I took her place for a while. At the time I took this picture, I hadn’t fully realized that the sun had already appeared from behind the clouds. I was…

One beautiful day last week, I took my camera to work. Surprisingly it wasn’t stolen, so I had the opportunity to dismount on my way home and shoot some pictures. The mountains are basically the same as always, but not seen from the usual balcony perspect…

A wide-angle shot. The mountains seem to be farther away than they actually are. Photography is all about choices: you can’t have everything ... which makes me sad and angry, but not suicidal –to conclude in a lighter vein! ;-)

This Sunday exhibited the same glorious mountain view as the day before. Reason enough to choose a better viewpoint: Walchstadt.

Yesterday, there were thunderstorms over Germany, floodings, and hail as big as birds’ eggs. In Icking, however, we only heard some thunder, felt some raindrops, and saw impressive skies.

I think I shot this picture somewhere in Italy. It must have been after dinner in the late evening: while my wife and I were enjoying our espresso and Amaretto di Saronno (inferred), Cora was eating her icecream (proven by another picture) and clearly sti…

An active member of the AlphaSmart Group on Flickr, I have wanted to take this picture for quite some time. Today the weather was perfect. The picture shows me sitting on my modest Yamaha Neo’s scooter, and taking important notes on my AlphaSmart Neo. No…

The first book of the apocryphal Maccabees (I Macc.6,43ff.) describes the fight of a certain Eleasar against an elephant of the enemy. He placed himself under the monster, and stabbed it in the chest. It broke down crushing the soldier underneath. The stu…

The church honors the local soldiers fallen in WW II (no comment). What struck me was this: “Please don’t sprinkle the statue with Holy Water. Thank you.”
