Obligatory photo of surfers at the Eisbachwelle in Munich’s English Garden.
Eurasian Coots in the Pagodenburger See at the Schloss Nymphenburg in Munich.
Elk at Point Reyes National Seashore, California. Last March.
From last Monday near Tomales Point in beautiful California, a genus Arctia moth caterpillar on lupins.
Random aircraft photo of mine from 2005 at Incheon International Airport, Republic of South Korea. You won’t see lined up 747s like this anymore.
From Maui earlier this month: a few more early mornings with Haleakala.
From Maui: Sea Turtle Part Photos
Here’s a collection of sea turtle parts while on Maui earlier this month. I made ample use of the X100V’s continuous shooting mode, getting several hundred photos and out of those only about six with clearly identifiable turtle parts. They’re amazing creatures and I can spend hours watching them from a distance that won’t stress them out.
You will likely need to tap on a photo to zoom in to see details of the turtle part(s) :-)

Playing with Bulb on my X100V. 7 second exposure of Haleakala at nautical dawn. So cool that I can control the shutter with my phone.
Ethereal light shafts in a coastal forest (Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in California). From 2015.
Last Monday, on the Bright Angel Trail at the Grand Canyon, we were lucky to see Spotted Towhees. They really blend in to their surroundings!
Last Sunday at Hoover Dam. Yes, Lake Meade is visibly very low (look at that bathtub ring!) and perhaps the dam is all the more impressive because if it.
A Peaceable Washington D.C. in 2015
I’ve been looking through photos of my work trip to Washington D.C. in 2015. Insurrection against the Constitution at the Capitol was not a thought and I felt safe, secure.
Near the Washington Monument, looking towards the White House:

Sunset during our isolation vacation at the North Coast of California.
Moonlight over the Pacific. Above the moon, Jupiter and then Saturn.
Sundown at Trinidad, California. We’re hunkered down here for a few nights, completely self-sufficient and not likely to go anywhere. Not a bad choice with this view. I have a feeling this is the last time we’ll risk going somewhere until vaccinations.
