Berner Oberland

Great view from the Männlichen summit down on the Bernese Oberland. What a great day!

Circus Roncalli

Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:50 +0100

The famous well known Circus Roncalli paid Bonn a visit last month. What a great opportunity to grab the camera bag and the tripod and walk just a 200m from my place to shoot pictures you don't get to see everyday.

Engadin House in Scuol, Switzerland

Thu, 31 Mar 2011 18:20 +0100

After several years of absence, I returned to my family's favourite winter vacation spot: Scuol in the beautiful Engadin. On a walk through the old part of the town I came across this beautiful Engadin house, which is one of the oldest there.

Schloss Augustusburg

A pretty place, this palace in Brühl. Even in winter.

Nine Eleven

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 20:33 +0100

This shot dates back to 2006, when I was on a business trip to Chicago and arrived deep down in Union Station, just on platform 9-11. I aimed at releasing this photo ever since on each Sept 11 but frankly forgot about it every year. So, since this year was no exception to this rule, I am happy that I remembered it today. And the difference in German and American date format allows me to publish this piece of work today too. November 9 has got quite some history over here as well...

Ahr Wine

Took a nice walk at the Ahr valley, a beautiful area full of vineyards. Check out the "Rotweinwanderweg" between Mayschoss and Altenahr, if you get the chance.

My Hibiscus

The first season of my balcony gardening brought out this wonderful hibiscus - among others.

Release me from this caging light

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 16:07 +0100

This one's taken at the old coalmine Le Hasard Cheratte in Belgium. I googled the line "Release me from this caging light" but all the search returned was someone's profile page which did not provide any additional information. Do you know this line's origin or deeper meaning?

Deutsche Norton

Tue, 25 May 2010 22:32 +0100

Got a bit infected with the urbex-virus apparently. So I went to visit the abandoned factory site of the Deutsche Norton in Wesseling. The weather was great as you can see and the site is pretty impressive.

Fort de la Chartreuse (1)

Tue, 11 May 2010 23:11 +0100

Last saturday, I went off to Liège together with Alex to finally get started with urban explorations (attention: new buzzword!). First, we visited Fort de la Chartreuse and spent several hours on this huge site. So this first photo is only a start; there is more to come, from two more abandoned places we paid a visit that day.
