Lone Seagull sitting on the interesting rocky headlands on the Oregon Coast. Was hoping for a nice sunset but it did not occur this particular night. After some adjustments in Lightroom, used Nik software to bring out some detail and increase contrast. The image may be overly sharp but I liked it this way. This new 16-35mm lens is great.

This is Mount Cook, the highest mountain in New Zealand, located in the Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park.

I took this photo a few days ago during my stay at Lake Tekapo. We traveled along Lake Pukaki while the mountain was covered in clouds. Later that day we got really lucky with the weather, as it became really sunny and the complete mountain range was cloud free, which happens not really often. After sunset, I had the great opportunity to take this photo, while the mountain was covered in the last red sunrays while the other mountains and the lake went dark. The reflections on the lake were just marvelous.

The photo is nearly untouched, I just did some minimal lens correction and color adaption, as photos taken with the 70-300mm sometimes seem to be a bit foggy.

Pittock Mansion is a very popular shooting spot in Portland. Luckily the fog can make the view completely different day after day.

Cape Lookout, Oregon. Clouds make for great sunsets, but sometimes the simplicity of a clear sky is beautiful.

The suspension bridge (The Great Belt Bridge), which has one of the longest mainspans in the world, meets a massive offshore wind farm and a huge container ship right in the line of fire, yet all these man-made constructions come out tiny in comparison with the greatness of nature.

Government House is located in Sydney alongside the Royal Botanic Gardens, overlooking Sydney Harbour, just south of the Sydney Opera House. Constructed between 1837 and 1843, the property has been the official residence of the Governor of New South Wales since Sir George Gipps in 1845, except for two brief periods; the first between 1901 to 1914, when the property was leased to the Commonwealth of Australia as the residence of the Governor-General of Australia, and the second from 1996 to 2011.
