Lost Color
Apples that so far survived the rather mild winter hang on a tree at Frankfurt’s northern Bergen district, Feb.18. I tried one and have to say that they are still quite tasty. I love apples (well, and bananas…).

Flying higher
A crow on a bridge over Main river in Frankfurt, Jan. 27, in front of a plane that approaches the city’s airport.
Tree Man

Lone Crow
A crow on a chimney on a foggy day, downtown Frankfurt, Jan.13.
Full Moon
The full moon behind a veil of clouds over Frankfurt, Dec.17. This is actually an HDR image created out of five different exposures using the Photomatix software.
Self-Portrait on a Bridge
Me standing on Frankfurt’s new Osthafen bridge, shortly before it was opened for traffic, Dec.10.
Fair Tower
Frankfurt’s Fair Tower (Messeturm), seen through the branches of a tree (and from my balcony :-)) at sunset, Nov.11. Between 1991 and 1997, the 256 meter-high (840 ft) tower was the highest office building in Europe, which now I believe is the Mercury City Tower in Moscow (338 meters, 1110 ft).
