Lausanne’s Pont Bessières with the Cathedral in the background. Originally, there was just the road bridge. The metro bridge was only recently inserted below the pre-existing road bridge. I love both ideas: Inserting a second bridge into the first one, and having a two storey bridge at all.

Tie down integrated into the road surface at 32U MU 93530 99172 (N48°44’43.9” E8°54’43.2” or N48.74553 E8.91200). Sadly, this monument to practical load securing has been paved over in 2013.

This picture was taken in the morning, two days after we had torn down the wall. A few tools and debris are still littered all over the place in a way that just begged to be photographed.

Saturn in Gemini, Mars in Taurus, Venus near Taurus. You can see that Mars is reddish. The brightest stars are Castor, Pollux, Capella, γ Gem, β Taur.

Venus a few minutes after sunset.

Taken without any filters. I just held the camera into the sky. I like this image better every time I look at it.

Near Venusberg, Aidlingen. Not on the picture are the even handful of chirping skylarks.

Taken from my balcony. Beautiful colors, caused by the confluence of the sun standing below the clouds a lot of clouds in the sky a hole in the clouds allowing the sun to illuminate them from below

Use this as a desktop background if you like it.

This picture was taken in front of a Berlin cemetery. Communal watering cans are being stolen all the time, so everyone brings their own and locks it to that rack with a bicycle lock. A cemetery which could be well tended to using ten communal watering cans thus requires a hundred - and nobody benefits except the makers of watering cans and bicycle locks. It’s stuff like this which makes me doubt the “sapiens” part in “homo sapiens”.

Light shining into forest, taken with use as desktop background image in mind. You can see the chromatic aberrations the camera causes.

This old railway is still in use.

Bridge over the Tegeler Fliess in Berlin in the middle of the night. This is a colour image, but the snow and the colour of the street lights make it look almost like a sepia black/white image. The snow was still falling heavily while I was taking this picture. Some time later, I caught the very same scene, only with rain and water instead of the snow: XXXXXX

Swan caught just as its head was depicting one half of a heart shape.

The B14 highway near the Vaihingen Campus of the University of Stuttgart. I had finished taking a series of pictures of the highway, and had just stashed away the camera when I heard the police siren approaching from the distance. I immediately started unpacking and setting up the camera again. I just about managed to put it on the bridge railing and pull the trigger, when the police car moved through the picture. Note the reflections of the police car’s blue light on the car roof and how the camera removes all traces of the car body.
