Total Solar Eclipse 22 Jul 2009 – Clouded Partially Eclipsed Sun

At the end, it didn’t work out. We were only partially sucessful, so to speak. Just a few glimpses of the sun thru the clouds between 1st and 2nd contact, and even heavy rain after 3rd contact. The deep darkness was impressing, nevertheless.

Above the Roofs of Cologne #9

Ganz unverhofft ging es über Köln mit dem “Geo”-Ballon der Hamburger Ballonwelt, mit ein paar Bildeindrücken, die man sonst nicht so leicht bekommt. Vielen Dank an Susanne, die die gewonnene Ballonfahrt an mich abgetreten hat, und an Franz Taucher, der uns sicher rauf, rüber und runter gebracht hat.

Encircled Block

Back to the roots, the first part of the Stadtbild Köln series. An image from an excursion to Chorweiler, Cologne’s infamous suburb, but not without a certain photographic appeal. For Karl of course, this particular picture would be much too pretentious. ;-)

Playing around with my new LX3, a really old telephone, the venerable W48 from my father-in-law’s grab bag, found itself under photographic scrutiny. And yes, the LX3 is a great little camera, a major improvement from my old LX1, especially in the noise department and the overall handling.
