Schloss Brühl NRW

The castles of Brühl are part of the UNESCO world heritage. A quick summer walk in the park before another thunderstom passed above.

Rhine river evening, Cologne

Spent an evening with two tripods and the intention to create a series of time lapses of the sunset near the Cologne cathedral and Severins bridge across the Rhine. Here a few stills.

Cars, cars, cars

The area has a few very good car enthusiast spots to offer, not least the Classic Car Remise in Düsseldorf, also architectonically a very nice place. And I could see myself owning a bit of car space there to store a few gems.

Later, I had to return the Porsche only to pick up an EV, an all-electric Jaguar that would prove very fun to drive but very challenging to arrive at destinations in. More to come…

Zeche Zollverein by night

UNESCO world heritage site commemorating the former coal center of Germany if not of the world at shaft 12 with the prominent double towers.

Porsche at Zeche Zollverein

One of the few summer pleasures took me to Northrhine-Westphalia to UNESCO world heritage site Zeche Zollverein. It happened to be in a red small Porsche.

Hinsbecker Bruch, NRW

Months after my last trip and as Corona cases reached a low in 2020, I felt ready for a trip and spent an extended weekend in Northrhine-Westphalia around Dusseldorf and Cologne. City, Coal mining and here, landscapes.

Wisner Flue to Challhöchi

Bike trip via Wisen and Wisner Flue, a prominent limestone outcrop above the village of Wisen, to Challhöchi, where the best sunsets can be observed in the region.

Oelegg drumlins day to night

Spent a long evening in the drumlin fields around Menzingen like many years ago – but with much better camera equipment (and a bit more knowledge, too). The Oelegg location I found still to be the best one for a Western panorama with a set of these glacial hills. And I had the drone with me, too, to get a few aerial evening shots as well.

Dusk at Neu Falkenstein

A long evening for a timelapse at the viewpoint for Neu Falkenstein castle ruins also yielded a few individual shots.
