Short visit to the Hanse-Bird fair which took place at “Elbinsel Kaltehofe”. Very nice location with some individual spots. However, shooting pictures near noon time did not turn out to capture the nice flair of the location properly. Between 1894 and 1990 the island was used to filter the water of the river Elbe. It […]

Cuxhaven: Lighthouse “Kleiner Preusse”
From Wikipedia: The lighthouse was built in 1906 along the dike of Wremer garnet cutter port as a cross light. Because of its small size and its black and white paint, he received his name “Little Prussian”. In 1930 he was again dismantled, after wearing a red and white paint few years. The current lighthouse is […]
Germany 2014-04-12
Nice Canolafield which was already in full blossom mid April. Just slightly too late to grab the pictures while early morning fog was still visible.

Cuxhaven: Hinrich-Wilhelm-Kopf caserne
Hinrich-Wilhelm-Kopf caserne. The place I spent nearly 10 years of my life for “working”. Now this has obviously gotten down. Since more than 15 years no one is there anymore and this is truly visible. Curious what happens to that huge area when they close fully down in summer this year and try to sell […]
Bremen 2014
Bremen tour A short tour through Bremen. Walking around near the old city hall, Böttcherstrasse and the Schnoor area. The Böttcherstrasse is close to the city hall. Only 100m long and has nicely restored old buildings. Worth a visit. Moving on to the Schnoor. A street in the oldest area of Bremen. Never been there […]
Bremerhaven 2014
Bremerhaven Harbour Some night shots in the harbor while a Wallenius Cargo ship was pulled in and some from opposite side of the “Klimahaus”.
Fehmarn 2013
Highly recommended for bird-shooting… However, either it was me not able to get to right places or because of the strong winds or because wrong time of the year (which I doubt), but not good conditions for getting some nice pictures from this trip. The best (if one could call it that) area was in […]
