Thessaloniki II

During the same trip, we went to the sea side for some great food. Next to the taverna was a small port with a lot of yachts waiting for the spring to come.

Thessaloniki

During the weekend we went to Thessaloniki. We had great food and an even greater company with our friends Alexandra, Foteini and Phil. We visited the rotunda , a church-turned-mosk-turned-church, which is currently under reconstruction. However, at one spot of the church / mosk, there was a beautiful light from one of the windows, looking almost like a spotlight lighting a stage. Luckily I had four gifted actors at hand ...

The way to Miltenberg

Yesterday we went to a concert of >Quadro Nuevo< in Aschaffenburg and took the opportunity to visit this pretty town before the concert. As many cities in Germany at the moment, Aschaffenburg is affected by the high level of the german rivers, in this case the Main. Now some of the street signs can only help the birds in the Main to find their ways ...

Villy & Panagiotis

At the first day of the new year, Ioanna and I were invited to the wedding of our friends Villy and Panagiotis in Athens. We had a great time and of course I had my camera with me. Here is a small slide show of some of the pictures I took during my first greek wedding. (Loading might take a while initially ...)

Winter in Potsdam

We haven't had as much snow as this year for a long time during Christmas. When I was visiting my parents, it was a great opportunity to see the snow-covered parks in Potsdam. I really enjoyed the beautiful scenery during these last days. Tomorrow, however, I'll escape to Greece for a couple of days of sunshine and + (!) 15 °C, which is a welcome change.

Sunrise at the Matterhorn

Another image from my slide collection ... This one was taken during a bike tour with Thomas in the Alpes in 1997. We got up very early (probably something like 4:30) to make it to the Matterhorn from the village of Zermatt before / during sunrise.

Potsdam ... many years ago

I finally found a way to digitize my slide collections from the times of analog photography in a way that's not too time consuming and produces very good results. So I will probably spend most of the long winter nights creating digital versions of my old photographs. Since I first started taking pictures in the park of Sans-souci in Potsdam, here a first image of the >Neues Palais< in this park, which I took probably sometime in the 90ies with a Canon 500 N SLR. I'm sure I'll post more of these 'historic' pictures in the weeks to come!
