With one hand on the tiller and one hand in the pocket they steer the boats with confidence. Amsterdam, Holland.
Make sure your rudder is good order as you navigate through life, ha de Gött!
Testing something new today with a series of photos of wave coming in over the rocky beach. Hope you like it.
If you don’t try, you can’t fail. Ha de Gött!
Isar is the river that runs through Munich. The river flows from the Austrian alps and finally ends up in Europe’s second largest river Donau after 263 km. The water is clear with a green and blue colour. Along the river runs pleasant walks and parks for sports and fun.
Pre trip checks on Google Maps showed some promising photo opportunities and I was not disappointed. Even with thick compact clouds there was a reasonable good light. I was also happy with the guy fishing for salmon and that he moved around along with my movements giving me a great focal point. Hope you like the pictures.
Let the river flow, ha de Gött!
Looks a bit angry looking out over the sea.
Angry at the ocean for splashing it over again and again?
Angry at the humans for polluting the sea?
Don’t let your anger sink you, ha de Gött!
I took this picture in Munich. The sign was sitting over the Kunstpavillon (Art Pavilion) in the Alter Botanischer Garten (Old Bothical Garden).
What do you think? Is art only for those with more than they need, or is art needed for all of us.
Art is everywhere, just look around. Ha de Gött!
Ha de Gött!
It’s that time of the year when you should look back. So I did look back to my favourite hobby, photography. After much consideration a top 10. Hope you like it.
To stay ahead you have to look back, ha de Gött!
Not 50 but this title might lure the search engines so my blog gets some more hits. Not my intention but the weather this Christmas has been grey and colourless so the title is fits.
Still I went to the beach but, even if the temperature in the water is the same as in the air, +5°C, I didn’t go for a swim. Still a good walk along the sea after all the Christmas food and candy before I start to look like Santa.
Grey is also a colour, ha de Gött!
Ha de Gött!
The Germans take their Weihnachtsmarkt, Christmas markets seriously. Me and my little wife been travelling a lot this year so we decided to crown the days before Christmas with a trip Munich. Situated in Bavaria in the south of Germany you could see the alps from the city hall tower. When the sky opens like this over the alps in the otherwise grey days. Well, hallelujah!
Even without snow the Christmas spirit was present among tourists and natives. With temperatures around freezing point the sellers of warm drinks, glühwein (mulled wine) and hot chocolate made good money. Walking around the smells of different things to eat and drink while rubbing shoulders with the world is great. Best is when you find that unique craftsmanship sold by the artist themselves. We came home with some beautiful hand painted Christmas ornaments.
Not all shopping and photo. We attended a fantastic organ concert in the Frauenkirche and string concert.
Frohes fest (happy holidays), ha de Gött!
