Black desktop wallpapers

A new batch of five black 1080p high definition wallpapers, all made from photos recorded in or around Munich. The first image shows the entrance of the university sports facilities in the Olympic park. The lamp can be found in the ethnological museum and the last picture is recorded in the Pinakothek der Moderne.

Coloured desktop wallpapers

Just a new batch of colourful desktop wallpapers in the usual (1920×1080 pixels) resolution. The blue waves were photographed in a shop window in Prinzregentenstraße, Munich. The green leaves are from Frankfurt, behind the Museum für Angewandte Kunst. The yellow lamp is the decoration in a small restaurant in Barcelona. The red picture is a lamp in someone’s apartment. Top of the wall is from Luitpoltpark, Munich again.

Zillertal mountain hike

Panoramic view of a dam crest, its storage lake and mountain formations all around; on top cloudy sky

Last weekend, I went on a mountain hike with my camera. Fortunately it didn’t rain, so I could take many photos of rocks, mountains and the sky. We started Friday evening, walking for three hours before arriving at the hut Alpenrose where we stayed for the night. The next day we had big plans: climbing up Schönbichler Horn and descending to the Schleigeisspeicher storage lake (above).

More white desktop wallpapers

You would not guess which search terms bring most visitors to my page: all combinations of the word white and wallpaper. Unsurprisngly, my post on white desktop wallpapers is the most visited page of my blog. So I thought I better publish more pictures like that… The first two images are from Munich (Allianz Arena, Pinakothek der Moderne), the other three are from Barcelona (airport and museum of modern art). As all my wallpapers, they are in 1920×1080 (1080p) resolution.

Barcelona by night

While the harbour looks great in the night, the valuable coastline next to the city is occupied by concrete, cranes and industry. The first two photos show both freight and passenger docks. The city itself is quite photogenic, thanks to bright lighting and organically grown buildings. The Plaça d’Espanya is one of Barcelona’s traffic nodes in the north-west. The cheapest connection to the airport (bus line 46) departs here. La Rambla is the main promenade, connecting Plaça Catalunya to the coast at Port Vell.

Barcelona university

Barcelona’s university building in the city centre is quite impressive. The entrance hall reminds me of a gothic church, up the stairs it resemble a classic art gallery. Behind the main building lies a small park, which is crowded by cats. My impression: it must be inspiring to work there!

Frankfurt

Some weeks ago I was in Frankfurt for two day. Luckily, the weather was already good enough to enjoy the evening outside — with my camera. The view from Main Tower is great, but I prefer the atmosphere next the river.

Regensburg by night

Last time I posted photos of Regensburg, I only was equipped with my mobile phone. This time I took photos by night, but with a much better camera. Danube and the cathedral really stand out, even against the cloudy weather that night.
