Sorry – Blog on hold for a while

Dear Readers,

I am terribly sorry but this blog is on hold for a while due to heavy workload. Time will show whether I continue this or not.  I have still 3 blogs very active at the moment and this is more than enough. I am really sorry about this.

Mystic Light on an old Cedar Tree…

I am fascinated by surfaces, especially by old tree bark. This one I found in my hometown – a huge old cedar tree which seemed to reach right up into the sky while I was standing near to this huge stem. And look how colorful this bark was with all the green lichen or moss growing on its weathered and sculptured surface…

Digitalized…

I had so much fun transforming the globe pictures into some colourful abstract pictures that I decided to play around a bit again with digital painting – not much but only a hint in order to show what came into my mind when I saw these the first time: water.  There is a transparent quality in these images which makes me extremely happy because they remind me of diving in summer time in one of our lakes. Water and landscape beneath the surface are just like this…

From Surfaces to Abstract Images – Colour pure

The original photos have been made from those huge metallic globes which have been placed on the lawn in front of the European patent office in Munich. The are shiny, plein silvery metallic and seemingly without colour at all like this.

But the reflections from the trees and the buildings, all sorts of shadows do their magical job: they ignite a range of colours which are visible only after photoshop has done its work. I did not add any colours I just extracted and enhanced the colours which are already there – magical – isn’t it?

The scratches on the surface add textures and sometimes it looks as if there has been someone who blew golden glitter on the globe…

How sweet are these – Duck Babies?

It is time to bring something else than dead objects – LOL.
Well – everybody has seen little ducklings and who could not be touched by them. But how sweet are these…?

Doors but not the Music…

I am fascinated by doors, entrances. No matter whether beautiful, old or new, special or not – doors always have something behind their outer shell – a story. They are hiding or revealing something depending how good your instinct and imagination is. So what is your impression of doors such as these…?

Rare Encounter – Snowgeese in Munich

The city of Munich does not only have a river but also quite a few lakes which attract lots of birds. And sometimes – if you are lucky – you can watch some very special guests.

Two weeks ago we had a very rare encounter in Munich: a pair of snowgeese in the middle of the town on the Olympia Lake. First of all we did not realize that these geese were something very special but after looking closely we noticed that we had some really rare guests here. Totally white with a few black wing feathers, being much smaller than the grey geese, these were very elegant birds with a very beautiful plumage.
