Bonn Rheinaue

Yesterday we had such a sunny day. We took a walk in Bonn and went to the Haus der Gechichte Museum.



Then we went together with the family Kaulitzky to Rheinaue, a park in Bonn just beside the Rhein river

Our orchids

Spring is coming and our orchids also bloom


Just before storm

I has just came back home and went directly to my favorite place to get a picture of the Thedor Heuss Brücke.
Just after I made some shots, it has rained heavily and with such a strong winds.
A lesson I got today: use your lens hood to avoid such a flare like in this picture.

I took this photo crossing the traffic light. The result is amazingly sharp.
I made some retouching on this photo with gimp. And it makes a lot of fun.



This nice photo was taken in front of casino in Wiesbaden


A nice weekend in Wiesbaden

The sky was for some thim clear, so I could make such a beatiful photo of a blue sky



By the way, it was the first time I saw this small cinema in the town center

After work hunting

After I drove back home from the office and picked up my wife in the city, I decided to take a walk a little bit in the city and shot this photos.


I got this photo inspired by the practical photography magazine I bought last week:

First sunrise after weeks


It was always cloudy since we came back from US in January.
Yesterday after I woke up, I saw this beautiful sky with those wonderful colors.
I just couldn't wait and went directly to our balkony to make this picture.
It seems, that the bird is also enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Another HDR pic



Here is another hdr pic I made today. It was taken on "Am Brand" in Mainz.
Hope you guys like it.
