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.

Cologne – Thielenbruch – Anemones

Spring, finally! Early bloomers in the Thielenbruch wood, the eastern-most part of Cologne.

After some warm days earlier in March, we had quite a cold spell since the beginning of spring. So when it became warm again, I took the opportunity on a Sunday morning to photograph some anemones in the Thielenbruch wood.

Eifel – Mayen – Anemones

Anemones again, another herald of spring near Mayen, Eifel.

A mostly cloudy, windy day wasn’t a very good prerequisite for macro photography. Nevertheless, I like this image of a partly wilted anemone flower, it shows the perishability of the early bloomers, whose flowers already disappear while the fresh green is spreading.

Cologne – Blooming Crabapple Tree

Continuing the spring photographs, detail of a blooming crabapple tree in our garden.

Actually, I’m not quite sure if this really is a crabapple and what kind. I didn’t plant it. ;-) According to the research I did there are simple too many malus hybrids, so classification is difficult.

Cologne – Sunset before the Fireworks

Against all odds and a terrible weather forecast, the evening turned out really great with a beautiful sunset.

The silhouette in the foreground is the cloister church of the convent Karmel Maria vom Frieden. I very much enjoyed the view while waiting for the night and the fireworks of the Kölner Lichter.

Cologne – Isen Castle – Snow 4

Fourth image of the “Cologne Snow” mini series. Believe it or not, yesterday we had quite a spell of snow in Cologne, so I took the opportunity to walk my new EOS 20D. ;-)

For those of you not familiar with the landscape, the area near the Rhine at Cologne and Bonn has likely the mildest climate in Germany during winter time. We get very little snow at all, and with almost total certainty none at Christmas. So this scenery is somewhat special, and I tried to catch some of the spirit. The image above and the others were taken around the Isen Castle in Cologne, Holweide and on my way back home.
