Germany: Winter Impressions

I’ve sorted some winter photographs from Germany. In the south-west area at the lower part there is mostly no heavy snow. But for sure you find snowy awesome landscapes in the Alps, the Black Forest and in the higher midlands of Germany.

	1. During cross-country skiing, at the upper part at the Black Forest near the peak of Hornisgrinde.
	2. A closeup view of a snow-icy powdered bush at the same area.

  

3. The “Schwäbische Alb” during icy days.	4. Again in the upper part of the Black Forest by lustre ligthning.

 

5. In a “white world” at the Black Forest, so Black & White…			6. Taking photographs in the Alps by two meters snow height, bad conditions, and no way is only worth for pretty objects like these…

England: New Royal Shakespeare Theatre – Stratford-upon-Avon

Shooting Hasselblad-XPan photographs inside is generally for me only an aspect

in churches, cathedrals or halls. But Stratford-upon-Avons’s newly restored Shakespeare theatre was for me such a unique atmosphere and architectural highlight that I tried a few shoots freehand.  Amazing the results. A delightful light. I used a Kodak TMAX 400, an aperture of 4.0  and an exposure time set of 0,5-1-2 seconds.

Nepal: New Shots from the Shivapuri National Park & Helambu Area

Again in Helambu. Like predicted from the poet Yuyutsu R. D. Sharma in his Helambu poetry the time is changing  and infrastructure and personal mobility move further on and influence the daily life. Despite all that aspects it is still worth to visit this remote area. Amazing hospitality, beautiful nature and interesting daily life is the true treasure in the Nepali midlands.
