Hangover?

Winter Wonderland

Here we are, at the tail end of oh-ten, and it’s mightily cold back home in Germany. Makes for scenic views, though – both in the countryside...

...and in the city. Here’s Hamburg’s harbor on a particularly beautiful winter day. Sunshine in the middle of December – all too rare in this part of the world.

Flare Is Art.

Lots of ice floating in the harbor by the Baumwall subway station...

...and downtown on the Alster.

Roof With A View

A couple of San Francisco icons, as seen from neighboring rooftops: above, Coit Tower in North Beach, and below the famous Transamerica Pyramid.

Golden Glow

A slightly filtered view of the Golden Gate, with the polarizer bringing out the colors of the sky and the bridge basking in the afternoon sunlight.

Scary Pumpkin

Halloween, by way of Switzerland.

Floating Market

Here’s Seattle’s version of a farmers’ market: a “Farm Boat” delivering fresh produce from local growers to workers downtown, by way of Lake Union. Turns out the idea isn’t quite as novel as it seems – but nonetheless very cool.
