and that not only means, that the flowers are starting to bloom and the trees are getting new leaves. Also the amphibians are back in the ponds.

Beim Schmied
Schmiedearbeit ist wirklich Schwerstarbeit. Heute können Maschinen die Arbeit erleichtern. Aber es bleibt immer noch Schwerstarbeit, die zudem auch nochgefährlich ist.
Heiße Feuer erhitzen das Eisen um es für die Bearbeitung geschmeidig zu machen. Laut fällt der Hammer auf das glühende Eisen und bringt es in die vom Schmied gewünschte Form.
Ein Feuer, und insbesondere ein Schmidefeuer, ist immer interessant zu beobachen.
birds of prey
Recently I attended a bird of prey flight show. Different falcons, hawks, eagles and owls showed there skills in flying. It was amazing. Unfortunately I had to use high ISO because the weather was not so good.
Here are a few impressions.

If you have the opportunity to see such a show, go and watch and enjoy.
Much smoke for nothing
but for photos.
I took my camera yesterday evening to shoot some pictures of smoke. I like the results. I hope, you enjoy them, too.
I’d really like to get your feelings and opinions about the pics. Drop me a comment.

Happy valentine
The February meeting
Yesterday was the first Saturday of a month. Thus I met some fellow photographers here in the region. We usually meet for taking photographs. The month we met a an illuminated castle. That castle is not allways illuminated. Only for 4 weeks from mid January ’til mid February. The title of this years installation is “1001 night”, while the last years title was “Ice palace”.
We had a wonderful time, even it was slightly raining. But it was not as cold as last year.

Create a Photobook
Recently I stumbled about this website. I was looking for a company for creating a high quality photo book. I usually create a book out of my photographs. At least one book as a review of the last year, but also a book for special occurrences like holiday, photo trips and so on. I gave them a try and found out, that they are producing very high quality books. They have a very easy to use software running on Windows, MacOS X as well as on Linux. That’s because they are using Adobe Air for it. It’s easy to use, runs smooth and has, at least for me, enough possibilities to create a nice book out of my photographs.
In my opinion they are creating high quality products with an easy to use software and it lasts only very few days from ordering to delivery.
This is the company: myphotobook ! (click on the ad in the upper right corner above the tag cloud )
Well done!
I’m back …
… from another island: Helgoland.
Helgoland is a small island in the German Bight in the North Sea. The shortest distance to the German mainland is 70 km. It’s also the island with the largest distance to the mainland.
To go to Helgoland you have take a ferry boat (or a small plane) and it lasts 2,5 hours for coping that distance. During winter the ships are able to sail into the harbor while you have to change to a small boat on the sea tobe brought to land during the summer. During the summer many ships starting to Helgoland from different harbors while in winter only one ship sails every other day.
We were a small group of 9 people starting on Tuesday to Cuxhaven and sailing with the ship on Wednesday. We stayed until Sunday and had a wonderful time.
When we arrived at Helgoland we had a nice sunny day and walked around the island in the afternoon. It’s an interesting island with in interesting geologic history. Nowadays the most impressing view is the red rock.
We were at Helgoland during winter to watch the gray seals and also the baby seals. They are born during winter.
Weather was fine. No rain, but some sunshine. Unfortunately also two foggy days.

Have you ever looked in the eye of a mamba?
Never? I did.
On Saturday we were at a Terrazoo. It’s a building with many terrariums containing exotic animals like iguanas, tropic frogs, geckos, small crocodiles, strange insects and, of course, snakes. Beside pythons and cobras there were also green mambas. Another terrarium contained poison dart frogs in blue and in yellow.
It was very interesting to watch to all those exotic animals.

Viel Spass!
