maybe my secret affinity to abstracts, but for sure my love for harmonious compositions took me away - I simply liked this picture from the very first moment. Up to now not much postprocessing, just simple cropping was applied.

new year's excursion to Hintersee was prolific. the kids went skating and I found some time to stroll around. It is obviously correct to call the landscape at the east bank of this lake "Zauberwald" - magic forest.
the xmas test version of bibblepro gave me opportunity to play with my raw files, and this one worked best for me in b&w.

fishermen at the beach of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. the men in the boat have laid out the net in an almost perfect semi-circle. now the men on the shore prepare to tow the net in.

fishermen at the beach of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. removing the bycatch, including sea snakes, and sorting the fish is the last task. everything went by in quiet mutual understanding, only rarely a command was heard. last of series.

fishermen at the beach of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. nice catch, safely brought in. due to the civil war situation, market opportunities however are little. The road trip from Batticaloa to Colombo takes 8h plus, even if there are no road blocks.

fishermen at the beach of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. Now the net is almost ashore and the tension eases up. Slowly they are heaving the load in, and some of them secure the lower rim of the net in order not to loose any fish.

fishermen at the beach of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. Silently they were watching the surface of the sea, but suddenly the started gesticulating and shouting, then discussing the best strategy for a catch with their muscular driven boats.

sudden high waves splashing into the pool gave an additional thrill to the kids bathing in there.

cloudy skies, sometimes the waves came through. off season the place was not crowded and gave enough opportunities to enjoy the play of the waves.

I love the overwhelming impression that the interior of this church imposes on the visitor through its narrowness and height.

I do love this backlight, pre-bad-weather situations. Late in autumn the woods are very dark, burying all their energy deep inside for next spring. Picture taken last year with an Oly C-8080WZ

I love the strong geometric elements of the tower of St. Ägidius church in Bad Reichenhall, my hometown.

from the archives: off season you are easy prey for the beach vendors. and then, making a choice can be a torture.

even in Bad Reichenhall the days can become very short now when the sun hides behind Predigtstuhl.
