"Remembrance Day"

Remembrance Day | London | GreatBritain | 2004

Once a year in november there is a big ceremony in London for the fallen soldiers - the Remembrance Day. A lot of active troops and reservists defiles through the streets. Even the Queen is present. And so was I. Not going to london only for the Remembrance Day, but since I was there for the weekend, I had a look for this special event.

"London Potpourri"

Mix | London | GreatBritain | 2004

At the second november weekend 2004 I spent 2 days for myself in London. It was sunny and so I had a lot of spots to take pics and to enjoy the autumn warmth of the sun.

"London Nights"

Nighttime | London | GreatBritain | 2004

London by daylight and London by nighttime are, like other cities as well, two different impressions. London especially has a few bridges like the Tower and the Albert Bridge, which are a pleasure to see at night.

"Relaxing in autumn atmosphere"

Autumn | Liebenwalde | Germany | 2004

One hour northwest from Berlin there is the little city of Liebenwalde. We stayed there for a week to recreate our strength before we get our first child Svenja. We stayed at the Hotel Preussischer Hof (today the "Best Western Grand City Hotel Liebenwalde").

"One of the best"

Zoological Garden | Berlin | Germany | 2004

Once again it is a pleasure to spend a day in the Zoological Garden in Berlin. It was the end of October 2004 and we saw a lot of "Indian Summer". The animals enjoyed the last warm sunbeams.

"Small but powerful"

Small Animals | Ubstadt | Germany | 2004

Here are some pics from insects like wasps and butterflies. In 2004 I used for pics like these my 400mm CANON-lens instead of a real makro-lens. So you can say it is the start of my makrophotography-career ...

"Sun, Moon and ... Lightnings"

Sun + Moon | Ubstadt | Germany | 2004

I like to take pics from the moon with my 400mm CANON-lens... to see all the craters. But also waiting during a lightning to get some random pics of a thunderbolt is a pleasure for me. 2004 was a good year for that!

"The Baby-Bringers"

Storks | Ubstadt | Germany | 2004

Beneath our home is a big meadow where you can see some storks during the summertime. But on a Saturday morning in August 2004 there were over 60 storks who troop themself for the great flight to the South. It was an awesome impression for me.

"2 Cities - 2 Countries - 1 National Garden Festival"

Landesgartenschau | Kehl/Strasbourg | Germany/France | 2004

This National Garden Festival was the first one which extend over two countries. Especially for this event they built a pedestrian bridge over the River Rhine. It was a hot day and water played a major role.

"With photographic eyes through Karlsruhe"

Karlsruhe | Germany | 2004

In July 2004 a colleague and I decided to take pictures in our city. We had no idea what to shoot. But the longer the day went, we had a lot of good moods in the camera.

"Animals in the Zoo"

Zoo | Karlsruhe | Germany | 2004
