hoarfrost under Hochkalter

new year’s excursion to Hintersee was prolific. the kids went skating and I found some time to stroll around. It is obviously correct to call the landscape at the east bank of this lake “Zauberwald” – magic forest.

the xmas test version of bibblepro gave me opportunity to play with my raw files, and this one worked best for me in b&w.

traces of winter

this year’s winter is almost non-existing here in Berchtesgadener Land. Only in shadowy valleys in the mountains it is cold enough for skateable ice. there I found these beautiful frost flowers on some rocks in a landscape from a fairy tale.

preparing for market

fishermen at the beach of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. removing the bycatch, including sea snakes, and sorting the fish is the last task. everything went by in quiet mutual understanding, only rarely a command was heard. last of series.

the catch is safe

fishermen at the beach of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. nice catch, safely brought in. due to the civil war situation, market opportunities however are little. The road trip from Batticaloa to Colombo takes 8h plus, even if there are no road blocks.
