... nicht hier, denn wir sind im Turme von St. Petri, Hamburg. Aber schaurig ist's hier auch, zumal ein Sturm ums Gemäuer weht, so dass der Turm merklich schwankt. Quasimodo is waiting... but not here, for we are inside the clock tower of St Petri Church, Hamburg. Yet it is very spooky here, too, especially so as a storm is howling around the walls making them shake considerably. View Awards Count

Hamburg: Blick vom Turme St. Petris auf die neue Konzerthalle in der HafenCity, errichtet auf der Basis eines alten Kaispeichers - die Skandale und die in schwindelerregende Höhe gestiegenen Baukosten erinnern mich an das Sydney Opera House. Hamburg: View from the steeple of St Peter's over at the new Concert Hall in the HarbourCity, which is being erected on the base of an old warehouse. This is our equivalent to the Sydney Opera House, what with all the scandals and the costs rising to staggering heights - and still no end.

Letzte Quittenblätter im Garten meiner Nachbarin. Die vorherrschenden Farben derzeit sind braun und grün, verblühte Stauden und vergehende Blätter zeigen interessante Strukturen. Last quince leaves in my neighbour's garden. The prevailing colours are brown and green, faded perennials and decaying leaves show interesting structures.

Ich musste einfach anhalten und dies Foto aufnehmen, obwohl ich für meinen Werkstatttermin zum Winterreifen-Aufziehen bereits verspätet war. Der Kontrast zwischen den goldbraunen Blättern und den nassen schwarzen Baumstämmen zog mich an, dazu noch der zartgraue Nebelschleier im Hintergrund. I just had to stop the car and take this shot, although I was already late for my appointment at the garage to put on winter wheels. I was quite taken by the contrast of the golden-brown leaves against the blackness of the wet tree trunks, and the soft grey mist in the distance. Copyright © Baerbel A Rautenberg (BARefoot images).
