At the end of August I spent four days in Lunz am See. Excellent holiday destination. However, the trail to the Obersee was closed which I knew before I arrived there. On the first day, I made a walk around the lake. Basically, it was raining all day with breaks …

I went for two nice hikes during the past weeks. A few weeks ago I made the classic hike on the Rax. From the technical point of view, it's easy, however, there were several parts where I had to put my camera into my backpack. But it's really ok. A …

In the beginning of December we had some snow. Luckily I was able to do a hike before it melted.

So I made the first big journey "after" Corona. I went to Frankfurt and from there to Karlsruhe, Berlin, Neckargemünd and Utrecht. I met two developers and one curator. All people that I met were really nice. It was great. I am full of positive energy. But I also caught …
