Being a born European, train travel comes as natural as walking. In fact, trin travel was the mode of transport in the first 18 years of my life, until I got a drivers license and a job to be on the road most of the time. Coming to Australia, train travel was mainly confined to suburban trips, though, while as a tourist here, I did trips like Melbourne to Adelaide, Melbourne - Sydney - Brisbane - Cairns, all by train.

Last time we started our Italy journey in Perugia. Here are more images from the b&w archive: All images are copyright ncas_48Photography/NSchmiedeberg

It is almost unbelievable, but the first time traveled to Italy was in 2007. That is 25 years after having settled in Australia after having lived in Germany. But living in Germany means being relatively close to Italy, so why waste holiday time traveling there while the whole world waits. Italy can wait, or so. So is life. Eventually, after having tasted South America, USA, Asia, in 2007 the decision was made to go on the long flight to visit Italy.

We hear most of the time about Ecuador through political or environmental reports and posts. Recently I read also that Ecuador has become a more dangerous country to travel. But that may be the same for many other countries in Latin America. Back in the early 1970's Ecuador was very safe to travel. Most travelers went to visit the Galapagos Islands and Quito.

Time goes so fast. Thanks to photography we can re-visit places we have been to. Having been born just a 150km south of the border, Denmark should always have been very close, but in pre-Shengen times, cross border travel was not quiet as popular and in our family we relied on public transport. So it was until the early 1970 that I traveled to Denmark the first time.

National Museum of Australia, Canberra This is a second attempt, since mysteriously the text vanished form the first post. Curved screens and the Fujifilm ZUH12000 are ideal partners due to the dual focus lens, which allows to focus areas which, in which a normal lenses may not be sharp, such as curved screens. This week Integrate, Sydney will open its doors and Fujifilm will show its new flagship the ZUH12000 projector.

Hi Photographers. It has been a while since I posted. Now that things are settling on my side, I will continue our walk through the archives. Over the years I have traveled many times to or via Hong Kong and each and every time there are new things to discover and experience. At my first visit in the early 1990's the city was certainly more 'British, but after the hand back to China, Cantonese and in particular Mandarin have become much more prominent.

Like AI or not, sometimes you get interesting results. This is an original photograph, processed in Adobe Firefly. No idea if the steam train is vaguely authentic. However it gives you a feeling of travel in the past. What's your opinion?

Today is another day of a kind of rebirth. Just seven days ago I was told about all the risks of things which could go wrong during anaesthetics. Having lived long enough, it really did't bother me, except that I could have woken up as a vegetable. So I goto on to the table. Mask on. First clean oxygen. Then something smelly and .

It is has been a few years that I went to Haarlem in the Netherlands. As it happened Haarlem was not the planned destination, but affordable hotels in nearby Amsterdam were full and Haarlem was convenient. But as it happened, Haarlem was full of surprises and interesting experiences. Like a big apartment in the attic I rented which could only be reached via a staircase we call in German "Hünerleiter".

Note: This text has been drafted by Norbert Schmiedeberg and edited using Chat GPT There’s a special kind of thrill when images spill beyond a single frame. Blend a few projectors, curve the canvas, wrap an image around a corner—and suddenly the room feels larger, the story more present. Multi‑projector shows do this with surprising economy and tremendous flexibility: panoramic, curved, circular, even fractured into discrete surfaces that converse with one another.

Over the years I have clocked up many kilometers between cities and continents. One can say, I am an avid flyer, though in the last few years, due to circumstances, that has reduced from 10-15 long distance flights a year to just 4 or 5. Actually this post also belongs to our sister site www.aviationpicturesncas48.com, but since I have not posted here for a while and photography and travel belong together, you got it.

I had an enquiry from oversees about some images from Australian Trees. So I set down and looked through my archive. From some of the old analoge images, right through to the one taken more recently with my Leica SL2. Actually, it is not important which camera system was used. Important is to capture these fascinating creatures of nature, which ensure that we can breathe fresh oxygen.

The story continues.

It has been more than 50 years since I first ventured to New Zealand. This first time was actually only an on-the-off-chance trip. A stopover of 3 or 4 days on my return flight from Australia to Germany via the Pacific-USA route. While impressive, these few days did not give me that much, partly, because it was in the middle of the summer holidays here and everywhere full of tourists.

Once upon a time any city which felt it was important enough had a tram system. Trams were deemed to be the most convenient and efficient means of transport, being able to move large numbers of people. I grew up in a city which was almost build around tram lines, until in the later 1960's the city managers felt that this was an outdated and too costly mode of transport and ripped it all up.

I am not always a fan of strongly tinted hair. But yesterday a young lady sat in the bus in front of me and the light and glow in the purple hair was just beautiful. Here are three images as she put her hair up.
