We had a fantastic summer in 2018. Sunshine, heat, no rain. For days, weeks and months. Everybody was happy, enjoying the weather. Everybody… except the moor. In the first image you can see one of my favorite spots in the Dänikhorster Moor. A canal running through the heart of the moor. In the next image, an image from two days ago, the same canal. It is shot from the opposite direction. And it has been raining for a few days already.

The lakes also lost substantial amounts of water. The third image shows one of our lakes. The fourth image shows you the same lake only tow days ago.

I hope that the late autumn rain and the rain of the winter and spring season will refill the water level back to the normal point.
The weather forecast for the next days: cloudy with sunshine… no rain.
My favorite jetty at our lake. Not always accessible. It is the end piece of jetty with sailing boats. Access is restricted to “Opening Hours”. They open later and close earlier than sunrise and sunset.
This time they owner stayed a bit longer… fishing. Lucky me! I asked him if I could enter the jetty to capture a few images.
After a friendly approval I shot 3 long exposures. This one is for a duration of 30 seconds at f6.4 using a LEE big stopper. (the others where 20 and 10 seconds)

It is also the only one which includes the rope as a foreground interest. What a difference to those without the rope.
Happy days.

Today I feel a little bit homesick… I miss my lake, my woodlands, my moors and my seas. There is only one way to cure that. I will pack my gear and hit the streets of Berlin. Happy days! Reinhold
Today is the 6th anniversary of my Fuji X-100. I used it for everything: street photography, landscape, architecture, nature, objects. I think this one will stay in my rucksack forever. I am still using it. But not as much as I should! I like the in camera black and white film simulation.
Image 11/20 – Hansel and Gretel taken by Surprise… I was surprised to find this old barn at the lake near to where I live. I never walked this road before. But I definitely will visit this place again.
This image is part of my series: Develop my personal style
The first 10 images are already published. If you are interested… here is a gallery of the images so far.

After a long cold and gray winter we are all waiting for some green highlights in our landscapes. And for nature it is easy being green. Spring arrived and a good weather forecast for the weekend. Let’s green up our live!
Something in the root system of the forest floor caught my eyes during one of my photo walks through the woodlands . I was fascinated by the image which I saw. I darkened a few areas of the image to focus on the main “object” I saw. Next time I search for Ripley… 🙂
