While the entire ski resort was overcast and had to deal with a snow storm I decided to try my luck higher up the mountain. The clouds suddenly disappeared and all I could think about was capturing the moment. The contrast between the storm under the clouds with the Sun shining above made this an even more mesmerizing moment.

There are a lot of rape fields in Northern Germany each May. Some days ago I took a trip by bike through Kiel's surroundings. It was a nice sunny day and I decided to take my Camera with me. It was a good decision I think.

After braking hard, a couple of peeved drivers passed by me and I got out of my car to take a photo of this lonely tree, sitting on this little hill, enjoying the last shafts of sunlight.
