Zoo Cologne - Halloween
It’s that time of the year again. The sucessful import of Halloween made it into the Cologne zoo, nicely decorated.
And of course, this is the much needed canonical Halloween shot as a proxy for more images to be found on the fotocommunity site, like this linked image and the following ones (click the left arrow). Actually I was quite suprised, that the session yesterday with high iso and slow shutter speed yielded quite a number of halfway decent images.
Autumn Intermezzo - Maple Leaves 2
Details of the maple leaves.
Green fades into yellow fades into red. No Velvia look, but the real thing. ;-)
Tenerife - La Laguna Street
A visit to La Laguna, walking the streets during the Siesta.
Actually San Cristóbal de la Laguna, which is the complete name. The old town is part of the Unesco World Heritage.
Autumn Intermezzo - Maple Leaves 1
Maple leaves from a tree near my home, an display of the gorgeous autumn colors.
Seeing the colored leaves of the maple tree just across the road from my front door, I couldn’t resist and arranged some of them for this photograph.
Tenerife - Outpost
An outlook from a decaying outpost at Pico del Ingles.
This continues the Tenerife series with new images from a second trip to Tenerife during our autumn vacation. After the ghosttown this ruined, decaying building at Pico del Ingles featured an interesting mix of light, shadows and landscape.
Hallig Gröde - Back from the Mainland
Back to Hallig Gröde after a short visit to the mainland.
This year, Rainer’s new boat was finally in operation, so I took the opportunity to join for a short trip to and from Schlüttsiel.
Hallig Gröde - Church Warft After Sunrise
The early bird gets the gorgeous soft morning light.
Actually, this is a step backwards in time, two days before the last image here. Maybe the Velvia look of this scene in 2003 is more atmospheric? Well, let’s see what Photoshop can do … ;-) There has been a pause in the Gröde images here, because I’ve been messing around with the database structure und application for creating the entries, see the SLISH project for more details. If something on this site went awry, please let me know.
Hallig Gröde - Sunrise Continued
A nice pastel-colored sunrise on the next morning.
View from the east jetty towards Hallig Habel and the main land. Within this mood, even the notorious wind generators are somewhat aesthetically pleasing.
And one more thing.
An assortment of images, both from last year and more from this year, can be found on the album page Kölner Lichter.
Quite spectacular with the Hollenzollern Bridge in the foreground.
Last year, I took some images of the fireworks from a position in the southern city, not really optimal. So this year I went to the Zoo Bridge, which was somewhat crowed in the end, but gives a phantastic view.
