Balcony Balancer


The wood pigeons love to use the balconies as a launch platform,
but sometimes they also like to have a little stroll around :-).

That little tree in front of the school really exploded last week.

ISS 2015 #1


This happened entirely by chance… while watching the Weekly Space Hangout the ISS was mentioned and I had completely forgotten that tonight was of the first good opportunities to view a pass around here. About ten minutes before I set up the new camera quickly – it was the first time I used it to capture the ISS and while the processing was a bit of a nightmare with too many pixel errors, I think the result worked out fine. This is a single 120-second exposure with a Canon Powershot SX1 running CHDK.

I can’t remember what those were called, but they grow in two places around here…

Wide Wing


Maybe it’s just all feathers, but this pigeon looks like
it had eaten a little too much from the bird feeder :-).

Those yellow blossoms are appearing in some spots, and for a change not a mystery: they’re called Scharbockskraut in German and Lesser Celandine in English with the Latin name Ranunculus ficaria.

Like a red and white, slighly crumpled umbrella.
