Intention was some bird shooting. However, not really anything happening at the 2 spots I was. Some nice fall foliage which didn’t make the afternoon too bad.
Sunday October 13th, 2013
Starting of th eday is very cloudy and quite cold. However, later it got much better and afternoon was a fantastic day again – liek yesterday. Some Lake Tappan pictures when the sun started to put some nice light to through trees. Before I went to Lake Tappan, I spent some time at the Stateline […]

Very nice weather when I arrived. Short round trip to Oradell, Lake Tappan and Stateline Lookout. Not much to see in the first two places, but Stateline was quite busy with some falcons.
Fehmarn 2013

Bremerhaven
Spent an afternoon in Bremerhaven Harbor. Some interesting locations worth to visit but better done in morning hours before 10am. This ensures much better sunlight coming mainly from the back, so no shots have to be taken against the sun. Anyway, some general shots around the harbor. At the North Ship sluice one of the […]
Cuxhaven: Karstadt/Hertie Store
Finally, actually 2 times finally, they are tearing down the closed Karstadt/Hertie building in Cuxhaven. 2 times, because I finally found some time to have a closer look at the building pull down. Karstadt opened their store in Cuxhaven on September 28th 1960. At that time, it was a modern concrete building but nowadays this […]

At the turn of 1981/1982 the ship sank in the river […]
