Glühwein
If you´ve ever been to the “Weihnachtsmarkt” in Germany, then you will surely know the traditonal “Glühwein” (mulled wine). Besides all the different “Schnickschnack” you can get in these x-mas-markets, this hot beverage is extremly welcomed, ´cause of the mostly freezing temperatures in this time of the year. So, if you know it… get it […]
The swans of Hamburg
Besides the seagulls, there is another kind of bird which is very common for the city of Hamburg: the swans. They populate the Lake Alster the whole year through, till it gets cold in november. Then the “Schwanenvater” (“Swans-daddy”… which is actually a person paid by the city of Hamburg to do the job!) collects […]
There is something about seagulls
I guess seagulls are for Hamburg, with its port, the same as pigeons are for other cities. Some people call them “air rats”, some people just like them beeing part of the typical scene of a port city. I belong to the latter. While walking along the harbor you will always have them as companions… […]
Bye-bye Chespirito!
R.I.P. Roberto Gomez Bolaños (1929-2014) – your positive and clean humour will be missed. Bye-bye #Chespirito mögen die Guten bei Dir sein! #chavodelocho #chapulincolorado — Kris (@LatinPoint) 29. November 2014
Pic of the week – 2014/43: Seagull Reflection
In the last days we´ve been having lots of foggy days, where the whole city just sunk into an ocean of mist. Normally, the fog should disappear as the day gets older… but in this case it just stood there… from sunrise till sunset. This kind of days are a welcome present for photographers, cause […]

Well, this is my last entry for the #blackandwhitechallenge (you can checkt 1 and 2 and 3 and 4). It was real fun participating in it and thanx to all the ones who liked the pictures on G+! This last image is one I took some years ago while visiting the island of Sylt in the […]
#blackandwhitechallenge: Day 4
Continuing the #blackandwhitechallenge, this is my 4rth entry (the ones before are here: 1, 2 and 3): an image of the Alster Lake in Hamburg during the summer. The Alster Lake is one of the favourite places for locals and visitors in Hamburg to hangout, relax and have a good time.
#blackandwhitechallenge: Day 3
Going on with the #blackandwhitechallenge, my 3rd entry is a night image of the National Theater (Národní divadlo) in Prague. I took this pic a long time ago, while visiting the city with my brother. As I said in my picture-of-the-week post, Prague is a very interesting and exciting city to visit. Specially at night, the city […]
#blackandwhitechallenge: Day 2
This is my 2nd entry to the #blackandwhitechallenge on Google+: a picture of an old tunnel or gateway in the historic centre of the city of Lübeck. Lübeck is by the way a fantastic place to visit if you´re interested in ancient architecture and hanseatic cities! By the way, if you want to follow me on […]
Pic of the week – 2014/42: Prague
One of the cities I really like most is the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague! I´ve visited Prague more than once (I think 7 or 8 times) and every time I get off the train at Praha-Holešovice, it´s like travelling back in time. I also had the chance to be part of the last New Years […]
