Silvester in Frankfurt
In der Silvesternacht verwandelt sich Frankfurtin ein schillerndes Spektakel mit glitzerndem Feuerwerk,das den Nachthimmel erhellt. Wenn die Uhr Mitternacht schlägt, wird dieSkyline der Stadt mit…
Montañas del Fuego – The Timanfaya fire mountain
The second part of my trip to the Timanfaya fire mountain (Montañas del Fuego). Its an national park vulcano area in the southwestern part of the island of Lanzarote, Canary Island. Ihe last big eruption was in 1824, and the biggest eruption was in 1730, when it covers half of the island with lava. And please dont miss the first part 🙂
A Seagull in the air
A bunch of seagulls looking for prey. I met thous gulls on a boat trip over the atlantic ocean from the island of Lanzarote to la Graciosa. The seagull followes our Boat for a while in hope of getting feeded by the tourists. They trow some food for them in the air. That seems to happen frequently, because the gulls were very trustingly.
Eine gruppe von Möwen, welche ich bei einer Überfahrt von Lanzarote nach La Gaciosa fotografieren konnte. Während der Überfahrt folgten sie uns eine Weile in der Hoffnung das jemand ein wenig Essen für sie über Bord wirft um sie zu füttern.
Staked Stones
Stacked Stones. At the righ end of playa del duque at Cosa Adeje/ Tenerife is a long area full with stones. The Stones where brought there to potect the coast against the waves. Its the sundown side of his area and a lot of romantic tourists stars stacking the stones to little pyramids.

EZB Building Construction Site
Sundown pictures of the European Central Banks construction site. I did this pictures early this years autum as a side stop on my way back home. And forgot them complelty 🙂 I found them back cleaning up my harddrive this weekend. And found them worth to show them.
Vacation mobile snapshots
Some vacation snapshots done with my mobile, a Samsung Galaxy S3. Relaxing, and playing around a little bit. No heavy gear to carry with.
Just a Fly
Just a fly, I dont now the name or what kind of fly, just a fly, captured in may.
A beautyfull little squaller
I met this little squaller on my last trip to the canaies istland Tenerife. He made a lot of noise while defending his food against everyone. But he was not afraid of my 105mm macro lens. Yes you heared right, I did all thouse pictures with a macro lens. I am not a bird photographer and I never wanted to be one. But I took the chance and did some portraits of this little squaller.
Der kleine Schreihals hier hat ein ziemliches Theater veranstalltet als ich mich Ihm mit meinem 105er Makro genähert habe. Also entweder wollte er sein Futter verteidigen, oder er mochte mein Objektiv nicht. Vielleicht hat er sich ja auch gedacht, so ein altes Sigma auf einer Nikon, das geht gar nicht 🙂
Egyptian Locust
I found this little creatures at the zoo in Frankfurt am Main. They are in boring glasbox, standing in front of a window. So thats why one of the pictures has a blue background. I stumbeld upon by their name, Egyptian Locust (anacridium aegyptium). Egyptian huh. I thought if they are thous fellows mentiond in the old testament as one of the tenplaques. Imagine, if millions of them coming to your farm…..
Light Green
Thats how spring in germany normaly looks. The plants shines in a light green, the sky is pale blue with little clouds and a little breeze is going throu the fields.
The green iguana – Iguana iguana
The green iguna ( Iguana iguana) also known as the common iguna or as american iguna. This little friend here is far away from home. He lives at the Loro Parque. Together with a turtle and some Callitrichidae monkeys. The Loro Parque a very nice zoo in Puert de la Cruz in the north of Tenerife. Its very unusual for me doing thouse kind of pictures, but he was very friedly and interested on my camera. He is behind a glas wall. I had to use a polariser to get most of the reflections out. There are many vititors around who tries th flash with a smartphone against the glas. So you have many reflections there.
Der Hautfriedhof Frankfurt am Main
Der Hautfriedhof Frankfurt am Main. Einer der interessantesten Ecken dort ist der sogenannte Gruftweg. Mitlerweile ist er sogar frisch renoviert.
Central Cemetery Frankfurt a.M. The the so called crypt way. One of the most interesting placed there.
Osthafen Frankfurt – Frankfurt’s East Harbor
Der Osthafen Frankfurt
The beautyfull Frankfurt east harbor at night. A cupple of years ago befor they build the new european central bank there. With the new bridge over the river Main there are now more photographers at the evening as you can count. Everyone is trying to get s skyline picture.
So sah der der Osthafen Frankfurt früher aus. Ein paar Jahre bevor dort die EZB fertig gebaut wurde und er noch nicht so „überlaufen“ war wie im Moment. Mit der Ferigstellung der neuen brücke weiß man ja gar nicht mehr wohin vor lauter Fotografen. Und das Raab Karcher gelände wird ja mitlerweile auch nei bebaut. Dann sollte es wohl komplett vorbei sein mit dem alten, ewas schmuddeligen industrie Charme.
