Yesterday we visited the Duhner Wattrennen. It went really well by bike. You could actually see it quite well from the outside. With the 300mm telephoto on the Fuji crop it was also reasonably easy to photograph. In any case, the organizers were lucky with the weather. Even the Mittelplate oil rig about […]

Not too bad…
Initially, a dense cloud cover was forecast for Cuxhaven, but, as is so often the case recently, it was still quite cloud-free until midnight. The NLC radar had been very busy in the morning, so I decided to try my luck. Not as bright as the last two sessions (I’m guessing magnitude 2), but […]
Cycle tour to…
The new “Fotopoint” in Duhnen. Unfortunately, it was not possible to find out the cost of the wood-letters quickly, but I don’t think it would have been less than €15k.

There’s still room for improvement this year
After the last great display of NLCs, there was another huge NLC field yesterday, or rather two of them. Although there was still a lot of cloud cover, it was still quite good between 11:30 pm and 1 am. The left field in particular was very high in the sky. Als das erste […]
Grimmershörn in infrared
A few shots of the Grimmershörn bay yesterday afternoon. The rain returned shortly afterwards. No wonder the beach chairs are deserted with the persistently unstable and cold weather conditions…
Unbelievable…
This was probably the most violent solar storm since 2003 (as reported on the Internet). Here it was – of course as always – cloudy. There was a small chance that there would be gaps in the clouds from about 2 o’clock. So I got up at 1:30 a.m. and drove to Döse, the northernmost […]
Grimmershörn
Waiting in vain for auroras yesterday evening. Unfortunately, the G2 storm was over before it got darker. It wasn’t worth waiting for a later storm because the sky kept closing in.
At Beerst station
After a hearty breakfast at Drangstedter Tannenhof, a short visit to Bad Bederkesa station, where the museum train is currently parked. Unfortunately, the locomotive was not there. All photos were taken with the iPhone XS as I didn’t have my camera with me. Most of the wagons parked there bring back childhood memories. […]
Frank Gehry
Yesterday the weather was finally good enough for us to drive the 300km to East Westphalia to photograph two Gehry architectures. First stop was in Bad Oeynhausen at the Forum Energie Innovation. Then we went to the MARTa Herford… … and back to Bad Oeynhausen once again.
