I remember that this tree looked exactly like this the same time last year! Just like then, it was decorated with colored egg-like ornaments for Easter.
There is a garden close to our apartment where people can rent plots of land and well, have their own gardens there. This is a photo of one I found rather interesting.
The weather was pleasant today and I decided to take a walk in the nearby park. It is starting to get warmer outside and it sure feels like spring in setting in.
My wife made some lovely bread for Easter! Unfortunately, this photo doesn't do it justice.
We have a lovely bouquet of flowers sitting on our window sill. I've never really been one who enjoys taking photos of flowers but I have to say that I'm pretty happy with this one here.
I got a set of suitcases from Lufthansa using my miles that were due to expire. I did actually need at least a small one since the one that I have is a little broken. I was pleasantly surprised with the bags when they arrived. They looked pretty good and felt robust enough.
This is probably the photo with the most prominent Bokeh that I have. I took this shot with my Nikon AF-S f1.8, which is a lovely lens. I used an aperture of f2.0 here.
For my previous photo of the day, I used the warming flash filter. For this one, I used the cooling filter instead.
Ok, a beer bottle isn't the most exciting object for photography. The content is without a doubt useful, but not really for photography. Unless of course, you're attempting some new-age photography style entitled "through the eyes of the intoxicated" or so.
If I were to give this photo a name, I'd call it "Road to Heaven". Very cliché? I know. But that name does indeed capture the essence of this photo or at least what I was trying to accomplish in post-processing.
This is one of those few times that I actually took a photo of the sky. In contrast to days with cloudless skies and those where you don't see the sky, days like these are indeed more fulfilling for photography.
I have to say that I'm really happy with this shot! This is a photo of the pier by Ammersee (Lake Ammer). The weather was great for the first half of today when I took this photo. It's not often that I've been able to capture some really nice cloud formations in my photos. This is one of those rare times and my lucky day.
My wife and I had a day off today and we decided to make a day trip to the Andechs Monastery. Not that we were planning a pilgrimage of some sort, but Andechs is famous for its dark "Doppelbock" beer. Yes, you heard me right. Apparently, the monks used to (and probably still do) brew this strong beer for the fasting season as a means of satisfying their hunger. I don't know how effective the beer is at eradicating hunger but it sure does a fine job of lifting the spirits.
This is one of my Mission speakers - I have a pair of them. I brought them along when I relocated to Munich.
I always try to buy some photography magazines when I'm in the UK. There is indeed a large variety available there. Of course, my main reason for doing so is that the magazines are in English whereas the ones back home are in German.
My colleagues and I decided to spend the second night of our business trip in London instead of Bristol. This would allow us to catch the morning flight from Heathrow back to our home bases respectively. So, we stayed in Holiday Inn.
I'm in Bristol, UK on business today. I've visited Bristol a couple of times before on business as well and have always found it very pleasant. Here's the link to my previous blog post on Bristol.
The BILLY bookshelf has got to be one of IKEA's hottest selling products. It can be very well paired with their BENNO CD rack, which is shown here.
As you can probably guess, I'm running out of ideas for my photo-of-the-day project. Anyway, I decided to capture the weather forecast for the coming week as displayed on my iPod. In post-processing I applied a "cooling" preset to give it a bluish tone.
We had some guest stay over with us today and these are their boots. Go find Cinderella !
