Welcome to Europe. Welcome to Italy. Welcome to Lake Garda. Welcome to Malcesine. Welcome. Just a couple of weeks ago in June 2022 I made a short trip to Italy. It was my first time at the beautiful Lake Garda in the very north of Italy, directly in front of the majestic Alps. The lake fills an enor...

Last weekend was one of the first weekends that really felt like spring or early summer. It was sunny and already rather warm. So I decided to make a short trip to the wonderful old city of Bamberg. The medieval town of Bamberg is not totally unique for its old, crooked houses and narrow, organic st...

In this second part of my review of the best writing apps for Mac, iPhone and iPad I wanted to mention all those apps that didn't make it in the first list of essential apps from last week. These apps here in part two aren't bad apps at all. This is just a selection of apps that I personally strug...

This time I'm going to write a bit off topic. This post post and also the next one hopefully coming out in the following week will be not so much about images or photography, instead they will be more about getting and using the right apps. This time I will focus on writing apps, but expect more pos...

There‘s a lovely medieval city centre, a nice city gate but first and foremost there‘s a real palace. Wow, a real palace in such a small town.

A gentle breeze, mild temperatures, the birds are singing in their trees and eagerly starting to build their homes for the coming season, the first flowers already craning their heads out of the green soil. Springtime. But this was yesterday. Long ago. 24 hours ago even. Today is a different day. Wi...

This year I’ve made it to Zermatt another time despite all the hassle that a trip during COVID restrictions means and despite the still enormous price level that Switzerland but especially Zermatt are famous for. I complained about it a lot in one of my last blog posts here about the iconic local...

After a long break I'm back with some new photos I took during the course of this ongoing pandemic. I hope you all are doing well so far. Let's hope we're getting through all of this soon. The order of these photos is not chronological anymore, I just start with those images that start to tell a lit...

The Matterhorn and Zermatt belong together like skiing and snow. The Matterhorn is Zermatt, Zermatt is the Matterhorn. It’s even part of Zermatt’s public slogan, the byline says just “Matterhorn®”, nothing else but with a trademark sign. While St. Moritz on one end of the famous Glacier Express is t...

My series of posting a new blog entry every week is a little bit broken this time as I spent some days skiing in Filzmoos in Austria. So I hope you don't mind when this post is online a little bit later than usual. It's sometimes a hard to sit down and take the time to write these posts when you'r...
