towards the sun
my daughter on a swing just reaching out over mt. Hochkalter towards the sun.
small beads
maybe my secret affinity to abstracts, but for sure my love for harmonious compositions took me away – I simply liked this picture from the very first moment. Up to now not much postprocessing, just simple cropping was applied.
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…
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.
ulysses enters troy
in Munich’s glyptothek they have an exhibition “the myth of troy”. in contradiction to the saga my ulysses enters troy in the evening.
perfect semi-circle
forgot the best picture in the series… fishermen at the beach of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. the men in the boat have laid out the net in an almost perfect semi-circle. now the men on the shore prepare to tow the net in. where this photo was taken? have a look at flickr.yuan.cc/maps/springm
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. where this photo was taken? have a look at flickr.yuan.cc/maps/springm
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. where this photo was taken? have a look at google maps.
the net is almost in
fishermen at the beach of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. Now the net is almost ashore and the tension eases up. Slowly they are heaving the load in, and some of them secure the lower rim of the net in order not to loose any fish.
hot on the trail of fish
fishermen at the beach of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. Silently they were watching the surface of the sea, but suddenly the started gesticulating and shouting, then discussing the best strategy for a catch with their muscular driven boats.
safe pool, Ambalangoda beach
sudden high waves splashing into the pool gave an additional thrill to the kids bathing in there.
waves, Ambalangoda beach, Sri Lanka
cloudy skies, sometimes the waves came through. off season the place was not crowded and gave enough opportunities to enjoy the play of the waves.
St. Johann Nepomuk (Asamkirche) in Munich
I love the overwhelming impression that the interior of this church imposes on the visitor through its narrowness and height.
fish vendor in Ambalangoda
Ambalangoda beach, Sri Lanka
As work and family take it’s toll, again I found no time for taking pictures. So this is from the archives again.
mt. Watzmann in bavaria
I do love this backlight, pre-bad-weather situations. Late in autumn the woods are very dark, burying all their energy deep inside for next spring. Picture taken last year with an Oly C-8080WZ
statue of St. Florian in Bad Reichenhall
St. Florian is the patron against fire. His statue is in the oldest part of Bad Reichenhall
St. Ägidius in Bad Reichenhall
I love the strong geometric elements of the tower of St. Ägidius church in Bad Reichenhall, my hometown.
the torture of choice
from the archives: off season you are easy prey for the beach vendors. and then, making a choice can be a torture.
low sun over saalach river
even in Bad Reichenhall the days can become very short now when the sun hides behind Predigtstuhl. large version through clicking on the image. kudos to the lightbox people.

No time to shoot, so I have to resort to the archives. This is a Polygonatum odoratum, which grew in my former garden. Picture processed with
reflections in the city (II)
the artificial climate I feel in the city is (for me) very well represented through this reflected tree.
