Cathedral


This is St. Stephan's Cathedral in Passau, a beautiful city in the south-east of Bavaria, Germany. It houses the largest cathedral organ in the world, also the largest organ outside of the US. Photography in churches and museums is often frowned upon, but this is mainly because of people who use flash - not that it's at all useful. Passau is known as the city of the three rivers, as the Danube, the Inn and the Ilz all join in this city. It's not very well-known but it has a beautiful old town and a very impressive castle.

Fire


Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.

Sundown on the Croda da Lago


The last rays of sun illuminate the Croda da Lago, one of the Italian Dolomites. The photo was taken about a week ago, when we spent some time climbing in the Dolomites around Cortina D'Ampezzo. This was taken from the Cinque Torri as we were finishing for the day.

Country Roads, Take Me Home

Gregor's "new oldtimer", Citroen CX Break in a beautiful rainy sundown, on a country road. Taken with the new 24 megapixel Nikon D3200. Not that those pixels are used here on blogspot, or anywhere else :) The car is not new in his garage, but the certified old-timer title is. And comfortable ride this is. No matter if it's driven on a highway or on a country road.

Huh?


Taken a few hours after this shot, the expression on Vida's face says everything.

Satisfaction


Satisfied after a day of climbing in the sunshine.
