Lusatia at the foot of Hutberg Mountain

Jun 4, 2014

From Kamenz into the wide world and without detours! … Not possible? Yes it is – even if on a smaller scale! It doesn’t take much but a lookout tower, namely the Lessingturm, a mountain, the Hutberg, and good weather, here in the form of sunshine and blue skies with good visibility conditions.

Due to the topographical conditions, “only” 297 m above sea level are enough to get a wide view of Lusatia. Striking points that catch the eye or should be familiar are the Upper Sorbian town of Kamenz with its airfield (in the foreground) and the two coal-fired power plants Schwarze Pumpe (on the horizon to the left) and Boxberg (on the horizon to the left/centre).

Ambivalent Amsterdam

Too much of a good thing? Amsterdam is probably one of the most interesting cities in Europe, if not the world. A wide variety of worlds and cultures, modern and traditional architecture as well as liberalism and austerity in everyday life come together in such a...

Rotterdam: modern, colorful, futuristic

Where should I start? Yes, with what! Hardly any other place I have travelled to date has left such a variety of impressions as Rotterdam. Although I had the honour of stopping here once before, eleven years ago for a day, this time it was different: more intense,...

Bee Nature

All it takes is a few warm, sunny days and the fields and meadows are buzzing with activity: With the start of the rape blossom, at temperatures of around 20 to 25 °C (early April!), the bees are buzzing and humming and are still hard at work long after you have...

Berlin in the face of the new camera

The first photographic excursion with my new camera is now behind me and took me to Berlin for a long weekend. It wasn't really planned, although the trip to the German capital itself was, namely to watch the SuperBowl in good company, but not in terms of any new...

200,000 photos in 149 Months

A city trip to Warsaw in November 2012 was "her" first big trip, and last October (2023), to Antwerp and Ghent, unplanned the last. After more than 200,000 shots in 149 months, I changed my digital eye. And in the end it happened quite quickly but not by chance, after...

Frankfurt Airport (2023 : #3)

During a short spontaneous detour to the north-west runway of Frankfurt Airport, there wasn't much to see, but for just 15 minutes of lingering on the bench in the sun, the odds of aircraft without a crane on the tail are pretty good.

Frankfurt Airport (2023 : #1)

For a long time and for the first time in 2023, I went to Germany’s biggest airport again to look at planes.

Balcony plants in spring

Spring is here and with it the plants on the balcony are awakening to new life: A short foray through the common hellebore, stonecrop, roof houseleek and heather.

Travel photographers of the year 2022 awarded

It's no secret that on the one hand I like to travel and on the other hand I take far too many photos at the travel destination than I would like. Sifting through and evaluating different motifs and perspectives according to their potential is quite time-consuming....

Start of autumn

The more days October counts, the more the leaves on the bushes and trees turn: red, yellow, green, orange – the beginning of autumn in full colour.
