black trunks and white blanket

Filed under: Photo — olliver @ 23:56 h

Here are some more photos I took over the last few days. As you can see on some of them, most rivers, ponds and small lakes in the city are frozen and snow covered.

Snowy ivy   Pillars and frozen pond I   Pillars and frozen pond II

Snowy white, grey river and black trunks

Filed under: Photo — olliver @ 23:49 h

The day was quite pleasant for snapping pictures, because it was relatively mild with -5°C and calm. I took the chance to walk along the Parthe river which already began freezing over with larger ice floes slowly drifting downstream.

Parthe river I   Parthe river II   Parthe river III

On the following images you may like to try spotting the pond ;-). There is indeed one, but it is all frozen over and snow covered. I did not try to walk over the ice to the island in the middle of the pond, because I was not sure about the ice’s condition under the snow blanket.

Photo retrospect first quarter of 2008

Filed under: Photo — olliver @ 22:12 h

The first quarter of the year is gone and I think it is about time to reflect it with a photographic retrospect:

rural suburbs   Chapel at cemetery   grave at cemetery

church yard   old cemetery   Russian orthodox memorial church

early spring flowering   Flowering willow   Cherry Plum in flower

Jesus meets Athens   flowering apricot   meadow in blue

For armchair botanists and others interested in plants I added the scientific names where it made sense (requires at least a prominently featured plant in the first place ;-), providing I know what it was. This is only a small selection of what I considered worth keeping and the decision process was quite hard, as there were much more pictures of equal quality than usual. In case you wish to see more, you can have a peek at my Picasa repository, but please note that these images are copyrighted and may not be incorporarated into someone else’s work, republished or reproduced without my prior permission, whether commercial or non-profit. For this matter please contact me and if I like your project or offer, we may even get to discuss details and conditions.

2007 photo retrospect, part seven

Filed under: Photo — olliver @ 16:55 h

Finally we’ve reached the end of the retrospect:

harsh lights   Eva Luna I   Eva Luna II

wooden bridge at night   trees in contre jour   white bridge in contre jour

les peupliers   backyard in contre jour

As a whole, I was quite content with 2007’s achievements concerning photography. Hope you liked some of the pictures, if not, this year will surely introduce some improvements, as usual ;-).
