For several months my last post on Flickr. I am going back to the landscape I like the most, the mountains, this time the Himalayas.
In about two weeks I will be in Pokhara hoping to see a sort of similar image, Pokhara from the lakeside of Phewa lake, and in the distance the Himalaya.
The view here is BTW also wonderful, the Hopfensee, with a view on Hopfen am see, and in the distance the Alps. Earlier I posted already www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/53379369699/in/datepo..., a shot in the other direction.

Since I came back from my Germany trip the weather hasn't been inviting for doing photography in my own country. Lots of rain and very grey days didn't make me feel to go out.
The first of December I had a meeting with a friend in Leiden, and fortunately the weather was quite good and I walked a few hours through the wonderful center of the city of Leiden. At blue hour I was standing on the Rembrandtbridge, named after the famous Dutch painter. It is said that his birth house was close to the building with the stepped gable in the left of the image.

Taken on the same day as my previous image (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/53553210207/in/datepo...) the volcanic origin of the Cape Verdian island becomes very obvious on this image. This part of the coast is not suited for swimming, and the surf is really spectacular.
There some other beaches in the vicinity, but most people go to other islands if they want a beach holiday. I enjoyed my bicycle tour a lot. You can see a part of the road in this image.

I visited three islands. The first island was Sao Vincente, and because I couldn't get a boat to the island of Sao Nicolau earlier I stayed there 8 days.
Sao Vincente is less interesting than the other two islands I visited but on this day I rented a bicycle and went to the north east. An arid landscape but with great views, also here the volcanic origin can be seen, and I have quite some nice shots of the wonderful coast line. More to come later.
In this image you can see some parts of the city of Mindelo and a very small part of the harbor. On the right in the distance you can see the island of Sao Antao, IMO the most beautiful island of Cape Verde.

I haven't posted yet too many pictures of my Germany trip from last October. And because in two weeks from now I will travel to Nepal for three months I probably will forget all the nice shots I have made in Germany.
Tübingen was another German gem, and the city center is really very scenic. Enjoy!
