Hiking tour La Isleta

Gran Canaria, travel

Some shots from my hiking tour north of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (La Isleta). It was an overcast day but I liked the atmosphere and took a couple of pictures.

A nice view over the city of Las Palmas.

 

A 8 year old child came to death in the cliffs formed by the Lava stone.

 

 

A solitaire withstands the continuous waves from the Atlantic Ocean. There is a some difference between low and high tide here. The locals are using this spot for surfing.

 

 

The water caves out interesting structures here. Somebody playing football (did you see it?)

 

 

Kind of a snake footprint.

 

 

A pebble found its place.

 

 

Las Palmas Graffiti

While walking around in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria recently I found a lot of well done graffiti in the harbor area (puerto).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Silent moments at the Rhine river

There is an nature reserve close to the place where I live. It’s called „Kühkopf“. Usually I go there for an evening round with my bike.

Recently I took my camera with me (what I should do always)

Beautiful light, watching the slowly moving clouds and the fast flowing water.

Capturing this dead tree …

 

… on its way to a stump. 

 

 

Capo Testa, Sardegna, Italy

When I travel to Sardegra for motorbiking  I usually visit Capo Testa to take a couple of pictures.  It is a beautiful bizarre place where wind and rain has formed the rocks. If I’m lucky the sky has nice clouds and the air is clear. 

The lighthouse

Last time I took a tripod with me to take series of pictures to give HDR a try. I’ve used it modest to keep the pictures realistic.

Here are my first attempts.

 

This landscape looks also beautiful in black&white.

Deep holes are drilled into the rocks.

 

Some of the rocks looking like animals. I see a falcon watching here …

Sydney at night

night photography, sydney, travel

During my 10 days visit in Sydney, Australia I took my camera and a little tripod out at night.

The Opera from the Harbor Bridge

View from Harbor Bridge, direction Circular Quay West.

I could not resist to take even this one which is probably one of the most photographed view of Sydney.

A lot of nice restaurants are placed around the ferry boarding

This one you should not miss: the famous “Cafe de Wheels” where you can have a pie with mash and gravy. It is located at the waterfront of the Woolloomooloo Bay.

Venice, Italy

italy, photo, venice

I’m currently planning my next trip to Venice. Good time to have a look at the pictures from the last visit.

I like this nice reflections and having the multiple layers in one image.

Even if Venice is a very crowded you can find a silent place for drawing.

Some people have no aversion against the flying rats (pigeons) as I have

Time for a change

Since Apple decided to discontinue MobileMe I was forced to move my photo site and found this nice place here.

Stay tuned!
