There is this one house on Nathan road in Hong Kong which looks like an ancient alien space station. It probably landed here in the late 60s and no one realized what it was at thst time. Has been here ever since...
Hong Kong Monsoon
It is monsoon season in Hong Kong. Rain, thunderstorms, 25 to 30 degrees Centigrade and accordingly a humidity of nearly 100%.
Still, the town bustles with activity, only heavy thunderstorms stop people doing whatever they are doing in the streets momentarily.
One simply gets wet, that's it.
Unlit sign Hong Kong
What ever it is an advert for, I don't care. These rainbow colours in the image are beautiful.
Morning Tea
Type "Iron Buddha" Oolong Tea
Courtesy of the " West Hotel". Probably a kind of excuse for the solid piece of wood they call a mattress.
China preps
Got my visa, bought a new lens for travel, put together all the stuff and it fits into the suitcase. Great, lets travel.
Across Mongolia at 11000m of altitude
On a flight from Hong Kong to Amsterdam at 11000m of altitude. Amazing weather, no clouds for an hour. Deserted landscapes, Mountains, Valleys and Canyons. What a view!
Kaleidoscope
Early February 2016 saw me in Sydney after 2 months of travel in Australia. I liked it but was somehow tired. This morning I slept until 11 am in my hotel room. When I woke up I realized that I was looking at a most amazing kaleidoscope at the ceiling. The sun was high up and was reflected from the roofs of the cars on the street into my room. I lay there for an hour an just looked at the changing colours and daydreamed. Then I grabbed my old Fuji X100 from the desk next to the bed and took images of the ceiling. So strange, so beautiful.
La Tour Eiffel - The Eiffel Tower
A slightly different point of view than usual.
More Pannings
I am trying out vertical Pannings...
The Water Vortex Machine
Being taken by a fellow photographer to a water vortex machine. An upright tube, filled with water and a wheel at the bottom. Which you can turn with a hand crank to turn the wheel and to create a water vortex. I was not really in the mood to go there, but she insisted. Thank you Benedikta for doing so!

Thanks Flip for taking care of the domain stuff ... .
I am starting to really like the Fuji X-Pro2. Check the first panning shots I did with the X-Pro2.
Stubborn domain registration ...
... and doesn´t link properly. No worries, it will be solved.
Domain linking
Shortly the site will have its proper address... . The DNS files have been set up by Philipp Nierkamp. The first pings show some life. Thanks!
Learning Squarespace and finding an old favorite
It is difficult to decide what should be on this site. And how to present it properly. But while looking through my images I stumbled upon this old favorite.
This image was taken in the sculptures hall in the Louvre. I saw these girls walking around with a group of teenagers several times before. And then I waited for a photo opportunity. And I got it half an hour later.
