O wie ist es kalt geworden
Und so traurig, öd′ und leer!
Rauhe Winde weh′ n von Norden
Und die Sonne scheint nicht mehr.
(August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben, 1798-1874)

I've always wanted to experience Goðafoss in winter, but when I was there I actually felt like I was in the poem by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben: it was bitterly cold, a strong wind was blowing from the north-east and it was snowing almost non-stop . While the waterfall was a spectacular sight, I wished there was some color in the sky at sunrise and sunset.

Summer is a wonderful time to photograph Vestrahorn in East Iceland. The sun rises and sets directly behind the mountain at this time of the year, and it is windless more often than at other times of the year, so there is a very good chance of a reflection in the shallow water of the lagoon.
In fact, this was the first time in a week that an interesting sunset showed up

I certainly wouldn't want to return to the Covid period, but it definitely had some advantages for photography. When the country was in locksown, with no restaurants open and no sightseeing boats on the canals, it was possible to photograph the the gabled houses of Amsterdam with their reflections in the canals and in the Amstel River. It was a unique time and I'll be forever glad that I got to witness and photograph this.

Allgemein betrachtet ist so ein Morgen rein von der Optik her betrachtet nicht viel anders als der Abend. Also warum um 2 Uhr nachts aufstehen ?! Hier in Sellin wird die Sonne über der Seebrücke zu sehen sein, aber nur beim Aufgang, der Sonnenuntergang ist hier vergleichsweise langweilig. Mein Hauptgrund für morgendliche Fotoshootings ist jedoch die Ruhe, Stille und Reinheit, die so ein Morgen noch innehat. Was nützt mir ein hübsches Bild, das rein optisch betrachtet ruhig und entspannt wirkt, wenn ich mich das Betrachten an Grillgeruch und eine Party mit Salsa-Musik erinnert ? 😀

This week we experienced a Level 3 thunderstorm situation in Germany, and the strongest supercell happened to sweep across our region. As beautiful as this cloud may seem, its power was truly destructive. Our city of Kassel suffered greatly from the intense rain and hail, which were unlike anything I've experienced before.
