Last week, there were still quite a few colourful leaves on the trees.

This Rose photo and the one before are now from the beginning of August. Catching up slowly!

More experimental planespotting with the new camera – this Aeroflot Boeing was on its way to Russia. It’s still difficult to catch planes with the 20x zoom lens, so sharpness is not quite perfect yet.

Migrating Geese, painting moving patterns in the sky!

The strangely-shaped Rose was growing up nicely!

First Advent, but actually we’ve had the tree up since yesterday, although the balls were still missing. But we made it in time! This is only a first try of taking a good photo of it – a larger than usual tree and the new camera make this very interesting and I’ll probably take some more pictures soon!

This somewhat futuristic area is one of the combined bus and tram stations in Oberhausen, which always make me somewhat jealous because we don’t have those here in Mülheim!

Guess who I met again last Sunday – but with that ear position, I kept my distance :-).

Another chance to test out the SX1 for Moon photography today – but again, the source images were far away from perfect, because it was not quite dark yet and it took a lot of playing around with filters, brightness and contrast to get this result. This was again stacked from 10 photos.

This is not actually a flower, but an attempt of taking a photo of the wine leaves at night with the re-purposed christmas lights as illumination. Remember, these photos are still from the end of July!
