Morning Walker
An elderly nordic walker on a small road near Wiesbaden, some 35 kms (21 mls) west of Frankfurt, early morning, Feb.3.
(Canon 5dIII, 200 asa, 2.8 300mm, 3.2, 1/500sec.)
Tree Man
A worker saws young twigs off a sycamore tree downtown Frankfurt, Jan.13. In a Sisyphean task hundreds of avenue trees are kept in shape by a few dozen workers througout the city every winter.
Mistletoes
A bare tree full of mistletoes at Frankfurt’s northern Seckbach district with its rather village-like atmosphere, Jan.12.
No Snow
Gray clouds over a tree at the Wasserkuppe mountain, at 950 m (3,120 ft) the highest elevation in the federal state of Hessen. At this time of the year, there usually is a lot of snow – but not now.
(F 2.8, 1/320 sec., 100 asa, Canon 5d MkIII, EF 70-200mm f/2.8l usm)
Ocean of Clouds
Frost-covered trees on a mountain among an ocean of clouds covering Main river valley. Seen from the Feldberg mountain, Dec.13.
Sunbeams
Two hikers in the Taunus mountains just north of Frankfurt, Dec.12, as the morning sun dissolves the fog.
Bare Trees
Bare trees in front Frankfurt’s TV tower and some of the city’s highrise buildings, Dec.6.
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).
Maple Seed
Maple seed spinning towards the ground, Nov.1. (1/160 sec, f11, 50 asa, manual flash, taken with my Voigtlaender-branded 20mm 3.5 lens on a Canon EOS 5dMk3).
