Wordless wednesday. Enjoy!
Growth Plan II
Blog
Sky Blue
Shipping Vessel “Karlo” in Krk harbour. Thanks to the intensity of light the dirt and grime in the harbour spill remains invisible.
Delicate Posture
Krk Harbour, before the Krk – Grad regatta started. There were a lot of spectators, both foreign as – in this case – local. The regatta itself was not spectacular in any sense, starting in an almost complete calm, and the bigger part of the high-tech yachts wasn’t (for me) either. But he was.
Growth Plan
Nota bene the battery of trash cans in the background: Maybe the situation is a bit intimidating for the little boat. Oh yes, and that was a situation where I was caught *without* a camera: ran back to the trailer, got it, captured just two frames and then car and trailer drove away.
Lost in Transport
The peak in tourist season is said to be over, but still hordes of tourists crowd the small streets of Krk. The morning is the best time to avoid this – for me demotivating – scenario, and often there are new, improvised and short-lived sceneries, ready to be savoured and transformed into bytes for further…
Organic Growth
Found during my morning strolls through the city.
The Revolution, Then and Now
There is not much left from the importance or even glory of the once ruling communist/socialist party and their world-shaking ideas here in Krk. The only visible leftovers are some fountains (like here) and plates, but besides that: Cuba libre is just the name of the drink, and this fountain is degraded to a cheap…
“Hello Tree” Show in Krk
Dagmar Franolic opened her show “Hello Tree” in the Gallery Decumanus in Krk last saturday. Until then I had seen aquarel paintings from her, but for “Hello Tree” she extended her technique and included collage elements, wooden blocks and multimedia to her palette. “Hello Tree” focuses on – hard to guess – trees, which are…
… A Great Tool For Learning How to See …
?? Authors’s note: Increasing the amount of voodoo and using a vpn to a befriended server, I finally managed to upload some images. In the end it was less about posting and more a personal challenge if my skills would suffice to overcome this provider’s faulty setup. Finally by pure guessing on my side it…
Enforced Break in Posting
For completely unclear reasons I cannot upload any image files to my hosting account from Krk in Croatia at the moment. I have tried every available trick including commandline voodoo magic, but no file gets transferred by more the 12% of it’s size. Posting will be resumed whenenver I am able to overcome this problem.…
Coop Himmelb(l)au Opera Pavillion
The Vienna architect cooperative Coop Himmelb(l)au is responsible for some remarkable buildings in Munich. Their Munich Academy of Fine Arts is featured in the gallery here, and for this years opera festival they have created a pavillion for the more avantgarde presentations. This pavillion is transportable and will travel the world after having served here,…
Perfect Summer Day
No words wednesday 😉
August Wallpapers
The August wallpapers are available from the wallpapers page
Toes and the Lake
Sometimes a lake full of water can be too much, especially when this water is not thoroughly warm. Then a small basin, barely large enough to sit in, can be more attractive than the whole lake.
Sunlight in the Old Boat House
School’s out here in Bavaria, and we used the first holiday weekend for a visit to some relatives in Austria. Besides the welcome opportunity to cool down in the lake – temperatures are in summer range again – the old boat house offered visual delicacies as well.
Marshall Watching
My friend Carl Weese sent me this image today: Their cat Marshall scrutinizing the last post on spring2life, probably checking if that small biker might make up a substitute for a mouse. Seems that spring2life has some renommee also with quadrupeds. Thanks Carl!
Bench and Biker
Found this just stepping out of the tramway, before entering the office. It seems there are certain predispositions where I just see. Now if I could only find the switch or trigger for it…
‘R’ for Reservation
Commuting again, while the summer weather takes a break to make place for rain showers and cold temperatures around 13°C in the morning (that’s 55°F for you folks outside the metric system). My self chosen lens diet – only the wideangle – is not a diet in the sense of restriction, instead reveals constantly new…
PIT
Working on prominent lines and combining strong foreground with a blurred, yet still informative background, I found new joy in wideangle perspectives. Of course I am curious if the partial unsharpness I deplored in my widangle images from Budapest and Krk is a problem of the lens – then I would be willing to replace…
Golden Light at the Backwaters
Sunday ended with a short excursion, one of the daughters with me. Talking a little bit, explaining to her an older film camera but also various plants and insects, and enjoying the last light of the sun, already hiding behind rain-filled clouds, but still providing a golden shine. Quality time, a reservoir for a week…
Not Insects
Never leave the house without the camera – and never hurry. I was sent on a mission to capture some pastries for sunday afternoon and did hide the camera well to avoid admonishments re. loitering et. al. And after business I saw this board, which I have probably passed hundreds of times, always in the…
Sparse Tourists
Again from yesterday’s photowalk: One of the main tourist attractions here is the Old Saline, dating back to 1837 and filled with the most advanced pumping machinery invented at that time. The staircase to the miner’s chapel (here) proved a rain protected vantage point for this image.
A Wet Affair: Photowalk 2010 in Bad Reichenhall
Hard to believe, but this year’s weather for the photowalk was even more wet than last year’s. The palm trees (planted in pots and brought into the streets by the spa administration, only to pretend a mediterranean climate) were dripping with rain. At least I was lucky having brought my own model (to the right).…
Cafe in Decay
Can’t resist to answer Tyler Monson’s duplicities in “American View”, which gave me such a lasting smile today. That late summer look was achieved by some curves magic in bibble5.
(Tree) Shadows On The Wall
The house in the image to the right was already subject of a post, here. This time I got a glimpse of the shadows’ play out of the bus window, and instead of changing immediately (and reaching the office early) I decided in favor of the sunlight’s spectacle on the walls. Processing of these images…
