A morning in the flowering heath landscape in September. As there was fog that morning, the many spider webs in the heather bushes were wet with dew as we walked into Fischbeker Heide. Everywhere you could see the white webs … read more or write a comment …

Rarely have I seen a tree fungus such as this birch porling so beautifully presented. Right on the top edge of a broken birch, beautifully brought into the light by the morning sunlight, while the ground behind the birch stump … read more or write a comment …

In an area northwest of Hasselbrack (the highest point in Hamburg!), you will find such a steep climb with many roots on some hiking trails. It’s almost as if a natural staircase has been laid in the forest for us.

At the blue hour, the setting sun still illuminated the clouds in the west and so the facade of the Elbphilharmonie glowed in the background. At the same time, the illumination of the masts of the Rickmer Rickmers there provided … read more or write a comment …

Golden clouds above Steinwerder
