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…

Zillertal mountain hike
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…

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,…

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…

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.

Musée du quai Branly
This museum for indigenous art from the whole world is located very close to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. For me, it was one of few mandatory places to visit. It was absolutely worth it. The modern exhibition planning allows you to both visit everything in a linear tour, while still allowing to directly enter…

Sunset wallpapers
Time for some new wallpapers. This time sunset is the topic, while none of the photos shows the sun itself. Even the latest picture, taken on Munich’s “Stachus”, only has an artificial sun plus lense reflections. The silhouettes were captured on the hill in Olympiapark. Many people were there to watch the fading light from…

Louvre
Happy new year! I spent the end of 2010 in Paris with some friends. One of the highlights certainly was the Louvre. We only had time to visit the Egyptian collection and the well-known paintings of the great masters. While the first collection was quite pleasant, the famous paintings were too crowded. Below are some…

Narbonne & Sête
Both towns are worth a visit. Narbonne with its famous market hall and historic centre (mainly town hall and cathedral), Sête with its harbour, channels and the signature hill atop.

Wooden wallpapers
Some new high-definition wallpapers. Subject this time is wood. The first three wallpapers are more texture-like, while the last two show also objects: a conifere and a green bottle. All images are photos taken myself, cropped and a little edited with the free image editing software Paint.NET. (I pretty much like the photo filters…)

Grey desktop wallpapers
More colourless desktop wallpapers: this time in all glorious grey tones. As usual they all have full high-definition resolution. The first picture (im)perfect day is a reprise of one of my favourite pictures called perfect day I already released some time ago.

White desktop wallpapers
After the colourful wallpapers the last time I wanted to make something more monochromatic. At the moment I am using a dark—not to say black—visual theme (Black XP), so I went for white wallpapers. Here they are in Full HD resolution 1920×1080: Update (2011-05-11): 5 new pictures in More white desktop wallpapers. Update (2012-09-29): 5…

The museum became widely known for its exhibition of the brown bear JJ1, called Bruno in the German press. Apart from some stuffed animals…
