Alsterpark at Sunset
A strange glass building is placed in the middle of Alsterpark, located at the eastern coast of Hamburg’s Außenalster. In fact, it is an architectural sculpture by artist Dan Graham named Double Triangular Pavilion.

Hamburg Elbe & Finkenwerder
Luckily, the D-Ticket includes ferry boats operated within the HVV tariff. Add a sunny evening and you have yourself a small discovery boat tour to Finkenwerder.

Pictures of Oldenburg
Also, this is a test post created from the impressive looking WordPress mobile app called Jetpack. I want to find out how convenient it is to post from “on the go” without them comfort of a desktop. So far, so good. The post editor has the look and feel of a native app, and picture…

A Day on Helgoland
Impressions from a recent daytrip to Germany’s most peculiar and remote island. Consisting of actually two isles—Helgoland itself and smaller neighbour Düne—the unequal pair packs a lot on just under 2 km² of land surface: seals & birds, dune camping & old hotels, barren nature & music festivals, tollfree shopping & a bunker museum. Definitely…

Wallpapers of Berlin morning mist

Pinakothek der Moderne 2/2
Part 2 of my visit to Pinakothek der Moderne (Part 1). Again an exercise in high-key photography, applied to my favourite aspects of the building: its staircase and the glass roof.

Pinakothek der Moderne 1/2
After being closed for several months of renovation – strange for an almost new building – the Pinakothek der Moderne is open again and still has its Sunday admission of 1€. Reason enough to revisit my favourite spot for high-key photography. The following pictures are almost unedited, cropped photos taken with lightstrong overexposure. Like usual,…

Impressions from Erfurt
Here are some late impressions from my last trip to Erfurt, the home of the German television channel Kinderkanal. That’s why its mascots are scattered all around the city. The other photos are from Domplatz, where a small fair took place. A Trabant (or Trabbi) is becoming a rare sight…

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.
