On belay

I don't even remember when I took this - it was taken on film, probably a couple of years ago. I had the photograph in my dia-projector for ages and didn't bother with it because the scan quality was so bad. I took some time to fix it and it came out pretty good. I'm still in love with the colors of Fuji's Velvia film :-)

Anyhow, this is at Napoleonica (as is this ship, this sunset and this castle), where Blaž was belaying a climber in the late afternoon sunshine on a winter day.

Shanghai

A night-time view of a small part of Shanghai's skyline. The city has quite a lot of smog, which leads to all of the light bleeding from the various signs and other lights, with light pollution much higher than what I'm used to. If memory serves correctly, this was taken about a year ago from a balcony at this building.

Owl

A small owl from the German national park known as the Bavarian Forest.

The view

Taken below the Grossglockner, facing south-east (that's the Stuedl Hut below on the right). This is very close to the spot which I took this photo two years ago (though this older photo is facing south).
