I forgot to mention a few things: every 5th or 10th tree on Corfu has no leaves. I only realized after a few days that those tress won't get any leaves ever: they have dried out and are dead.

Also important: I mostly used the 8-25mm/f4.0 lens, which …

So I am back from Corfu since a few days. It was a bit exhausting, but great.

Where should I begin? I actually used my tripod and I also took quite a few good shots with my smartphone. I think this is one of the best photos that I took …

There is no doubt that the Libre Graphics movement is in some sort of crisis. The last Libre Graphics Meeting was in 2019, the darktable devs are estranged and I cannot make the local darktable users have a second meeting. And there is the darktable telegram group, where apparently mainly …

I am running out of photos, currently I am uploading old pics to pixelfed. I don't know... lot of work and the weather is kind of not ideal. And I have no idea where I should go. Plus, the season is not so good, no snow but no green either …

Finally I have got new photos! Yesterday I went for a hike in Semmering after almost 3 months of "break". It was no sunstar day and the 20-Schilling-Blick was in the fog but instead there was a magical misty white mood.

This time I barely edited the photos and I …

Another month has passed but not much happened in the meantime that is relevant for this blog. I am digesting some private experience, and there is a lot of work to do, so there was no time for hiking since the end of October. I don't even have hiking plans …

So another month has passed again!

On one of the last days of October I made a hike in the Südburgenland, from Bad Tatzmannsdorf to Stadtschlaining. Nice hike, nothing spectacular, but that time of year is spectacular even with boring landscapes.

I don't know why, there was nothing special about …

Yesterday I visited the really impressive exhibition "Ways of Freedom - Jackson Pollock to Maria Lassnigg" at the Albertina Modern. The exhibition is remarkable for several reasons. First, there are also works of female artists between 1947 and 1970. Second, the curators are demonstrating that Abstract Expressionism is not something that …

So I returned from Tenerife two days ago.

I had been on research trips for several weeks alone before, but not really on holidays, and the destinations of those earlier trips were usually cities. Although, this was not really planned as holidays either, but as a photography trip. But I …

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 …
