Was doing some cruising around the Fränkische Schweiz (franconian Switzerland) the other week and came across this. Not anything super interesting, but for someone who spent the first 24 years of his life in Southern California, it’s kinda cool. Almost stood up too quickly and impaled myself on one of the icicles.
A light dusting of snow fell this afternoon so I decided to head down the road and into the Veldensteiner Forst, of which I’m on the eastern border of. Normally the forests around here don’t interest me much, as they aren’t really ‘wild’ and are often plantations from the last century or so. But when […]
Learning how to ski has been my goal for several years now (I’m normally a snowboarder). I gave it a shot over the weekend down in Austria in the Brixen in Thale area. Wasn’t too pretty to watch, but I managed to get down a red run (American blue) by the middle of my second […]
Wish there was a bit more snow, but what can you do. Hopefully it will stay clear for tomorrow night as well and maybe I’ll think of some place interesting to go…
A couple more photo’s from Tuesday night. Tilt-Shift panoramic of from above Pottenstein. I don’t often use ’tilt’ – to change the plane of focus – while making panos, but sometimes I think it gives a nice touch, as in this photo. Burg Pottenstein, with it’s history dating back a 1000 years watches over the […]
Arrived at the Walhalla temple on new year’s eve as the sun was getting low on the horizon. Warm light on a cold winter day.
I’ve been getting more interested in caving lately, as I should, since the Franconia area around here is full of them. So when I got an invitation for a night trip to the Windloch Sackdilling cave, I had to go along. This cave has several entrances into the first section. The easiest way is to […]
Every year on the 6th of January the hills above Pottenstein are illuminated by fires for the Ewige Anbetung. Seeing it in person is way more impressive than any of my photos. 17˚f (-8˚c) temperatures meant the hands were quite frozen after an hour or so up on the hillside
A bit different from what I usually shoot, but pointing the camera towards the sky these days isn’t all that inspiring due to the weather (‘German gray’ – my new term for the low gray and hazy clouds the cloak the landscape seemingly every day, and most especially at the weekends), so I’ve started to […]
