Germany is in the grip of football fever and here I’m without a single photograph to show some of it. That changed today as I went out to shoot some of the madness around the time of the exciting match between Ghana and Czech Republic. What you see in the photo is part of a huge tableaux covering the whole inside of the ceiling of Cologne’s main train station. It is an awesome sight!
This is a photo from my trip to Vienna in April of this year. This was shot near the Danube insel (island) in the city.
Something from Heidelberg. This was one of a couple of strange little creatures next to the gate on the oldest bridge over the river Neckar. Perhaps, it is simply a mouse!
To me, this looks more like a painting rather than a photo. It has a soft and dreamy feel to it.
As I mentioned yesterday, I did get to shoot later in the evening. In fact, I ended up shooting a lot! Here is the first one. More to follow over the next few days. The locations for the shoot were some barley and wheat fields near the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding, which is slightly outside Cologne.

(Note-22.05.06: Unfortunately, my laptop crashed yesterday and looks like I’ve to give it in for repair. It might be gone for a few weeks. So I don’t think I’ll able to post quite as regularly as before. I’ll try to post, if possible, from this Mac in my lab. Fortunately, I made a backup of my photos, lab data etc., a few days back so hopefully I haven’t lost anything. Keep your fingers crossed and do keep visiting!)
Another shot of the hibiscus-like flower from yesterday. For the first time after buying it, the versatile nature of my tripod came in handy while taking this (and subsequent) shot(s). Actually, this was shot hand-held and not using a tripod!
Let us leave the world of monochrome for a moment and enjoy the world of color once more! Here is a macro of a flower from my garden, which actually is beginning to resemble a tropical jungle these days! I managed to a get quite a few shots I liked from these flowers so you can expect to see more of these over the next few days. I’m not very good with flower names but this seems to be a variant of the hibiscus.
This is one of the circus performers from yesterday’s photo in the final stage of a sommersault.
I don’t know how clear it is from the photo but this is not a mirror image. It is actually two different circus performers held up by two different hands! The photo is cropped and flipped horizontally from the original.
