Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel, Germany. February 2010.
AeroVis Airlines, Antonov An-12BP, UR-CEZ.
First sunshine in weeks, came out just in time for the arrival of this beauty. The reflections from the still snow-covered ground made the light perfect.
Sandlake Dunes, Oregon / USA. September 1995.
We reached Sandlake Dunes in foggy weather. Strolling through the sand towards the Pacific Ocean, all we heard was the everlasting swell of the surf. I tried to capture the atmosphere before my friends vanished in the fog.
Pacific Coast, Oregon / USA. September 1995.
Third and last picture of the Pacific Coast series. Next stop on our journey will be foggy Sandlake Dunes.

This one, I uploaded earlier already, but reworked it since. Still no idea where exactly this picture was taken. Any helpful hint would be welcome.
Portland, Oregon / USA. September 1995.
Park at the Rose Garden.

Dear Friends and followers of my humble website,
I wish you a Happy New Year, and hope that it will bring you health, luck and prosperity! Thanks a lot that you still follow my site!
Unfortunately, as you can see from the lack of recent uploads, I did not have too much time to take photos over the past months. The lack of light during fall and winter did not help, either.
But 2010 looks better, as there are several trips coming up, which should be good for new photo material. In the meantime, I took the time over the holidays to review and re-edit shots from earlier journeys.
I started back in 1995, when I traveled the US West Coast along with 3 friends. It was my first serious attempt at photography, with a borrowed Leica CL. I had uploaded a few shots from that trip earlier already, but I did complete re-edits that I will upload during January.
Hope you will enjoy them!
All the best
Stefan

Berlin, Germany. October 2009.
Night view of the Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom), with the television tower at the Alexanderplatz in the background.
Despite of commonly being referred to as Cathedral (or ‘Dom’ in German), it is actually a Protestant church, that has never been the seat of a Catholic bishop. It was built between 1894 and 1905 after plans of Julius Raschdorff.

Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel (HAM / EDDH). 23. August 2009.
Antonov Design Bureau, Antonov An-124-100 “Ruslan”, UR-82027.
For so long , I had dreamed about getting the Antonov. And there it is. At the right time, right place, right light. Got it. Yes. Strike!
And now I feel like a child in the night after Christmas. Sure, I got what I wanted – but now that I have it, there is a certain emptyness inside…
Anyway, hope you like the shot.
