Sights of London (dual screen wallpapers)
For my new screen setup, I wanted some fresh, dual screen full HD – 3840×1200 pixel, to be precise – wallpapers. Due to lack of suitable landscape oriented images, I experimented with rotated motives. These are the results:

Lights of London (yep, these are wallpapers)
When I stood on Queen’s Walk in London, next to the National Theatre (roughly here; btw: this is one of the few occasions where “here” is a sensible choice for a link text, but I digress…), I could not help but notice the abundance of lighting. So I opened the shutter and waved my camera…

Triple screen desktop wallpapers II
From this handy index of high resolution Hubble images I have derived another set of three screen wide (3·(1920×1200) = 5760×1200) space wallpapers: Image credits: Both: NASA, ESA; Orion nebula: M. Robberto (STScI/ESA) and the Hubble Space Telescope Orion Treasury Project Team; Helix nebula: NOAO, The Hubble Helix Team, M. Meixner (STScI), and T.A. Rector…

Triple screen desktop wallpapers
I needed three screen wide wallpapers in resolution 5760×1200. But there were only a hand full of decent ones. So I searched the European Space Organisation image archive for material. Luckily, they release their photos under a Creative Commons license, i.e. the CC-BY 4.0. These four wallpapers are based on two images: Carina Nebula, NGC…

Wallpapers of Berlin morning mist
Fernsehturm Berlin offers a great view over the city. I was up there in the morning on a sunny day. A milky mist had not yet vanished, covering everything in a blurry aura. Enjoy!

Schaustelle Pinakothek der Moderne
From April to October 2013, Pinakothek der Moderne had to close for renovation. During that time, a temporary exhibition space called Schaustelle was erected. Here is my take on the construction:

Crystal wallpapers
Some old and new photos of crystals, taken at the Museum of Man and Nature and Museum Reich der Kristalle, both located in Munich.

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,…

Minimal white desktop wallpapers
These photos were recorded in University Town, a new campus of NUS. Its architecture is quite impressive, yet not intimidating. These pictures show some details in the new sports building that was opened last month.
