The Renaissance Garden

Posted in Architecture, Berlin, Landscapes, tagged on November 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Today has been the first day for a week with sunshine. Well, the sky got cloudy again after lunch, and when I got home from work it looked dreary again. But at least it stayed dry.
On days like these I like to browse through my flickr account. That photo was taken in the middle of [...]

The Beauty of Water

Posted in Landscapes, Nature, Photos, tagged , , , on July 29, 2009 | 1 Comment »

I must admit: I love water – be it the waves of the sea rolling in, a majestic river, a lake or a small pond like this one. I can look at water for a long time, and it makes me feel alive and makes me quiet at the same time.

Lithuanian Landscape

This is a photo showing the lake which surrounds Trakai Castle. In some way it is typical for Lithuanian landscapes – You can drive hours and hours by car or by bus, as we did, and don’t see any villages or even farms. All you can see is plain nature, which for somebody like me, [...]

Looking across the River Spree

Posted in Berlin, Landscapes, Nature, tagged , , , on March 18, 2009 | 4 Comments »

On me water has fascinating effects. It gives me the feeling of being on holidays. It calms me, it takes away the stress. I enjoy the different shades of blue, the sound of it, the movement of it – from a slight ripple to the beating of waves against rocks.
