The little house in the forest

30/10/2016

2 Comments

 
This afternoon I returned from my second trip to the "Lüneburger Heide" in Germany. I assumed that when I will visit this area for a week and in the last week of October, the forests would be coloured yellow/orange. This photo of the accommodation and Wanda is taken yesterday evening and the majority of the beeches is still green. The temperatures are too high and when some leaves coloured yellowish, the wind blowed them away immediately.

​But, I had a very nice holiday: no computer, walking every day (with and without Wanda), go shopping, reading books, watching movies, sleep late, meeting friends and last but not least photographing some beeches and mushrooms.

New world coming

There's a new world coming
And it's just around the bend
There's a new world coming
This one's coming to an end
Picture
Brimstone - Canon 7DMKII, tripod, remote release, 180 mm, 1/20 sec, F 3.5, ISO100
There's a brand new morning
Rising clear and sweet and free
There's a new day dawning
That belongs to you and me

Yes a new world's coming
The one we've had visions of
Coming in peace, coming in joy
Coming in love​

Take the time to waste a moment

9/10/2016

After a small break of two and half weeks it was time to collect my camera and macro lens and to meet the members of the Palinka-club which I had not seen anymore since our trip to the Cevennes. The intention was to search and photograph mushrooms but just in case, I also took my 35-350 mm lens with me.
After a short walk we found the first mushroom, a beautiful Cauliflower Fungus which is perfect for details and structures.

In the meantime the sun has already risen and in the distance the light was visible at the end of the forest. The closer we came the more noises of waterfowls we heard.

Unfortunately, I spent too much time with the mushroom as the light on the lake was just a little bit too hard....the scenery was lovely due to the fog. The first group of Canada Goose flew away and after ten minutes it was completely quiet on the water.....time to search for other motives.
I only found a fat grasshopper but fortunately two Common Winter Damsels and two Small Coppers were found by the other members.

While we were photographing these insects it became very very crowded around us.​
On our way back we passed three birches with Red Admirals on the trunks; they were drinking birch sap but get chased way by some hornets. We finished this perfect trip with a tradional cup of coffee at the terrace and some new plans for trips in 2017 and 2018!
