With this article I present my personal three favorite photos from the past year 2022. In the last months I had a lot of fun diving more into the abstract kind of photography. I was fortunate to travel to Iceland and revisit some beloved locations but I also found some new ones and new perspectives. On another trip I drove about 7000 kilometers through scandinavia and again visited swedish lappland and the arctic island of Senja in Northern Norway. During the fall season I was primarily shooting the fabulous forest of the Harz region and the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland in Germany. I also ... Continue reading →

With this article I want to present to you my personal top three photos from 2019. During last year I did not go on as many photo trips like in the years before and thereby took less photos than usual per year. One reason is that I started a long anticipated project, naming a landscape photography blog. I've spent quite a lot of evenings and weekends writing tutorials, product reviews and trip reports for the new site. However, I nevertheless managed to spent a few weeks on a dedicated photo car-camping trip in Norway and some time in the Saxon and Bohemaian Switzerland and the Harz region ... Continue reading →

This new gallery of in-game photographs is the result of this endeavor. All the images below are created in the world of Witcher III, most of them in Skellige. The islands of Skellige remind me the strongest of the real northern realms like ... Continue reading →

Since I was born and raised in East Germany, or the GDR (German Democratic Republic), which was reunited with West Germany in 1989 and I formerly was - for instance - a so called "Jungpionier" during primary school and surrounded by Soviet influences, I am particular interested in the past of the UDSSR and their influence of our lifes in the GDR between the World War II and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and beyond. Even now (2016+) a lot of people are living in soviet like buildings which we call the "Platte" here in East Germany. I find it somehow fascinating that ... Continue reading →
