Moonlight and Aurora

Two light sources were active in this shot: The aurora borealis and bright moonlight from the side, a very appealing combination for me. Patience was needed when taking the pictures, I spent several hours at this spot.

Elbe Sandstone Mountains view in the morning light

The ascent to the Lilienstein began early in the morning in the dark. The weather forecast had promised 85 per cent humidity, which increased the chance of seeing patches of mist in the valleys. The morning light was marvellous, giving us an unforgettable experience of nature.

Azores - View to the volcano Pico

The driveway through grassy green meadows leads the eye to the silhouette of the volcano Pico, highest mountain in Portugal on the Azores island of the same name, which rises majestically in the distance. This intense green of the Azores seems to glow and offers strong contrasts with the blue of the sea.

Outlook

The highlands of Iceland offer countless exciting landscape motifs. The masses of water flowing from the large glaciers towards the coast are very impressive. Here you can imagine what happens when a volcano erupts under one of the glaciers ... .

Saxon Switzerland in the evening light

Gohrisch is one of my favorite places in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Somewhat off the main routes, it holds great views and many details worth seeing for the landscape photographer.

Mallorca / Majorca - View over Pollença

The island of Mallorca offers very different motifs. Here is a panoramic view of the beautiful old town of Pollença with its sea of houses interspersed with alleys and the Calvary el Calvari, with the Eglésia del Calvari chapel and the Carrer del Calvari staircase leading up to it. The place where the photo was taken is the Puig de Maria, the local mountain opposite. The climb is worthwhile not only because of the wonderful view, but also because the monastery café is very inviting.

Mallorca - View in Artà

About an hour''s drive north of the Mallorcan capital, you reach the lovely region around the old town of Artá. It is picturesquely overlooked by the pilgrimage church Sant Salvador and already on the approach you think to guess the worth seeing views that would offer from above.

The forecast had announced a change in the weather. This often results in particularly exciting light situations. Hoping for spectacular light, I went to the mountain station of the suspension railway in Dresden.

Play of colors in the cold winter sky. Clouds, sky and northern lights combine to create a play of light over the mountains.
