On the way from Freiburg to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc we passed Lake Geneva through Montreux in the best weather and then later drove through the canton of Valais into the Alps. Definitely, Lake Geneva is a place to consider for a vacation once.
Colmar
Zunächst war für den ganzen Tag Regen vorhergesagt. Dennoch, einen kurzen Abstecher nach Colmar kann man ja machen, wenn es nichts ist, kann man immer noch wieder zurückfahren. Die erste Überraschung war “tolles Wetter”. Als wenn jemand ein Loch in die Wolken über Colmar gesägt hätte. Superb, das läßt sich schon mal gut an. […]
Rhine Falls
A planned visit to the area there was definitely the Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen. Well, that was – weather-wise – the worst day of the trip. Well, that’s how it is… It’s quite spectacular, but also very crowded, even in bad weather (I don’t think I’d want to go there in good weather; it must […]
Chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Haut de Ronchamp (Le Corbusier)
Auf dem Rückweg von Basel nach Freiburg machten wir noch einen Abstecher nach Ronchamp. Hie steht die Wallfahrtskirche von Le Corbusier. Ok, mehr ist dann da auch nicht zu sehen 🙂
A little bit of architecture
I had picked out a few photo locations for architecture before the trip. On the German side, this was the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein. The light there was unfortunately already too bright, yet the Vitra Design Museum designed by Frank Gehry and the Vitra House. Unfortunately for us, there was a rubble […]
Freiburg in Breisgau
7-day vacation in the south of Germany, Switzerland and France. The border triangle with Freiburg as the warmest city in Germany is a good place for explorations into the area. And indeed, we were not disappointed weather-wise. Had it initially looked like we would have 50% of the time rain and overcast days, this was […]
IC 1318 – Gamma Cygni Nebula
2 clear nights within a few days, you can hardly stand it 🙂 Last night I photographed the IC 1318 – Gamma-Cygni nebula. After the exposures with the D500 were finished I mounted the Fuji GFx with the Mamiya 210mm and made another 50 exposures with it, while the D500 made the dark-, bias- and […]
NGC 7000/IC 5070 – North America Nebula/Pelican Nebula
Last night I tried again on the North America/Pelican Nebula. The nebula is already quite large, so here with the Samyang 135mm on the Nikon D500. Funnily enough, without having planned it, I had photographed exactly the same nebula exactly 5 years ago. Progress is visible… The recording data. The bright star on the right […]
Traffic sign madness…
Between 150€ and 250€ costs a normal traffic sign incl. post and mounting. Doesn’t sound sooo much, but if you push it to the extreme, then it adds up quickly. The shown here is by no means an isolated case and certainly someone comes along and babbles some reason, but does not change the fact […]
