Zoo Cologne - Willow Tree
A wonderful early spring day in the Cologne zoo, not only animals but also trees pose as photo models.
Again, I’ve been playing around with the Canon 17-40/4.0L which has been a great lens for the trip to Tenerife. IMHO, at 17mm it gives the willow tree a very dynamic perspective.
More images can be found in the trees album.

Hallig Gröde - Sunset
Finally, the sun is about to set in the west, illuminating the clouds with a range of warm colors from yellow to red.
The really nice thing about our accomodation on Gröde was this view. The bedroom windows were facing west, so sunset photography was very comfortable. ;-) This image concludes the Hallig Gröde series in my PhotoLog. A complete album of the Gröde images is now online (first version, better structure to come). A new visit to Hallig Gröde is planned for September 2004, so stay tuned for more images to come in the future.
Hallig Gröde - Evening Light
One of the houses on the Knudswarft in the red light of the sinking sun.
In total, there are five houses on Gröde, four of them on the Knudswarft and one on the Kirchwarft. All of them have a thatched roof, which means you have to be a bit careful with a barbecue in the summer ;-), but also gives the houses the typical look harmonically complementing the landscape.
