At a humane time, an aurora warning popped up on my phone… Clouds were still a good while away. That’s what you call luck. Less luck, however, with the terrible LED lighting of the Kugelbake and the – at least here on the Tidal Elbe – unwanted suction dredger. A short sequence was […]

Everything around my hometown and the Cuxland
That was probably nothing…
Unfortunately it didn’t work out with the comet. It was just too bright on the horizon. Yesterday in the early morning there was a band of clouds that was up to 10° high and today it couldn’t be seen either. Well, at least I got a few nice pictures of the Kugelbake. Next […]
Perseids and more…
Well, that was quite a surprise on the afternoon of 12 August. A fat oval of aurora borealis with the prospect of it lasting into the evening was announced. I abandoned my plan to photograph the Perseids in Dorum and instead drove to the Kugelbake – or rather to the northernmost point of Lower Saxony […]
50th summer evening by the sea
We were lucky… The weather got better towards the evening and the rain from the afternoon was over. Of course, there was a lot going on on the dyke and the promenade. OK, so the advertised laser show was a bit of a home-made affair… My first fireworks that I have photographed. […]
Sahlenburg
Lotsenviertel
On the way from the harbour festival through the pilot quarter. It is noticeable that the town of Cuxhaven has little interest in a well-kept appearance. Unfortunately, things don’t look any better in the city centre.
Grimmershörn
Futile attempt to see NLCs again this season, well then, the probability is decreasing for 2024, but don’t give up yet 🙂 The same motif as a b/w realisation, but with the Nikon D5300 full spectrum camera. Finally, once again the Cuxhaven landmark…
88th Duhner Wadden Race
Yesterday we visited the Duhner Wattrennen. It went really well by bike. You could actually see it quite well from the outside. With the 300mm telephoto on the Fuji crop it was also reasonably easy to photograph. In any case, the organizers were lucky with the weather. Even the Mittelplate oil rig about […]
Not too bad…
Initially, a dense cloud cover was forecast for Cuxhaven, but, as is so often the case recently, it was still quite cloud-free until midnight. The NLC radar had been very busy in the morning, so I decided to try my luck. Not as bright as the last two sessions (I’m guessing magnitude 2), but […]
Cycle tour to…
The new “Fotopoint” in Duhnen. Unfortunately, it was not possible to find out the cost of the wood-letters quickly, but I don’t think it would have been less than €15k.
