Autumnal gloom on the North Sea coast. I love the bright colours of autumn, but I also love the melancholy of cloudy autumn days #photography #landscape

A vast, cloudy sky looms over the field. I am completely alone and feel overwhelmed. However, I also see two birds of prey circling in the sky. #photography #landscape #blackandwhite #classicmono

In the Lahn Valley. It was such a beautiful trip: the enchanting river valley, the lush green vegetation glowing in the sunshine, and the blue sky ... #photography #landscape

I went on a wonderful bike ride alongside the River Lahn. Here is a view of Nassau Castle, the ancestral seat of the House of Nassau. #photography #landsacpe #blackandwhite #classicmono

This is where I live, not far from the church. Weisenau used to be a small fishing village on the River Rhine, but it is now part of the city of #Mainz. While small fishing boats once sailed on the river here, today it is busy with container ships. #photography #landscape #longexposure

A thunderstorm was approaching, so I hurried back to the car. Had I stayed longer, I would have got soaked! #photography #landscape #blackandwhite #classicmono

This was taken during a bicycle tour. It shows the village of Nierstein and the Rhine valley. This is a typical landscape in my home region of #Rheinhessen #landscape #blackandwhite #classicmono

I love old windows, especially those with closed shutters. They often have a wonderfully morbid quality, and I can't help but wonder what might be hidden behind them? #photography #windows

Rhine river bank with lush greenery, framing the water like a theater curtain #photography #landscape

This colour photo shows a river landscape. The view of the Rhine is framed by pale green leaves on the riverbanks, with a small island in the centre of the picture. The green-leaved trees on the island are reflected in the river.

A tank depot at the banks of the Rhine. Most of my photos have a story associated with them. Here I had to fight my way through dense undergrowth and balance on slippery rocks to get this shot. It was fun! #photography

A color photo of a large tank depot on the banks of the Rhine. The sky is bright blue, with soft white veils of cloud. The sky, tanks and jetty are reflected in the calm river water, creating a symmetrical composition.

This is "my bridge" over the Rhine in Mainz. A railway bridge with a footpath. I cross this bridge several times a week for my morning jog and enjoy the view of the river, the skyline of the city, the ships, the clouds. It's beautiful, I love this bridge :-) #photography #classicmono #blackandwhite

A black and white photo of a railroad bridge over the Rhine. The bridge stretches from left to right across the river diagonally through the picture. Delicate white clouds float above it, below it the river is in gentle motion.

One last picture of wind turbines, I promise :-) There are so many here, it's hard not to want to photograph them. Last Friday I did it with an ND filter and captured a bit of the dynamic of the movement. #landscape #blackandwhite #classicmono

A black and white photograph of three wind turbines in a field in front of a cloudless sky. One is on the left edge and further away, the one in the centre is the largest and protrudes out of the picture, and the one on the right edge is fully visible, the three turbine blades in motion. The movement is emphasised by the blurring of the turbine blades.

Three and two and green and blue :-) We have many wind turbines in our area and sometimes they are even aesthetically pleasing. First wind turbine photo of two #photography #landscape

Square color photo of a landscape with a green field and a cloudless blue sky. Two wind turbines stand on the left and right of the field and a group of 3 trees in the center.

Even big cities have their rural idylls, as seen last week on the outskirts of #Mainz #Photography #Landscape #ClassicMono #monochrome #BlackAndWhite

A square black and white photo with a white frame. A large leafless tree stands on a field and dominates the center, illuminated from the side by the sun. This creates strong contrasts. There is a tractor trailer under the tree. To the left and right, two much smaller trees frame the scene.

Visit to the neighbouring city of Frankfurt. Riding the subway. And then I saw this ascent from the belly of the city into the daylight. #photography #blackandwhite #urban

Square black and white photograph. Stairs with white tiles, with several landings and round lights in the ceiling. A very sterile atmosphere, a subway entrance in Frankfurt. In the last third of the staircase, the silhouette of a man climbing up the steep stairs.

Last Friday, the sun was shining (that's an exception here in March 😊), I went to a small nature reserve on the outskirts of #Mainz. This is a beautiful forest, with characterful trees! But unfortunately also threatened by plans to widen the nearby highway 😞 #photography #trees #landscape

Crossing the bridge over the Rhine in my hometown #Mainz #photography #blackandwhite

A black and white photograph. A road with railings leads from left to right. In the middle there is a metal strip and a street lamp. A person is photographed just as he crosses the metal strip under the street lamp and thus the centre of the bridge.

The water is right up to his nose! Seen in Metz, France. #photograhpy

Colour photograph. A river in the city of Metz, with houses by the water on the right and a bridge in the background. A picturesque scene, were it not for the huge head and hand of Trump emerging from the river. The river water covers his nostrils.

I have a hangover. After yesterday's election in my home country of Germany, I needed some Big Fat Llamas!!! Strong rise in right-wing extremism. We were spared the worst, but still... #photography

On Sunday morning I walked through a beautifully deserted industrial area, the powerful sun creating strong colours and contrasts #photography

#Photography #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #Trees An afternoon walk in the fields. It's cold and wet. The fog creates a strange, enchanting light mood.

A photograph of a field in winter, with dense fog covering the horizon in white. A path runs from the bottom of the image to the horizon. At the end of the path are 3 trees, just visible through the fog.

I love birch trees, especially in winter when they look like torches in the landscape #Photography #BlackAndWhite #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #Monochrome #Trees

#photography #BlackandWhite I waited a long time before two walkers did me the favour of walking near the pylon :-)

Black and white photograph. Dark sky, fields coloured white by the snow and a tall, very dominant electricity pylon in the centre of the picture. Two very small walkers in comparison as black silhouettes under the pylon.

#photography #trees Early morning. It is cold. Fog rises in the clearing, in the sky the hesitant sun colors the cloud bands.

Colour photograph of a forest clearing in the early morning. In the centre is a striking tree with no leaves. Mist rises from the ground. In the sky, the weak sun colours the clouds red.

#photography #Mainz There is a small beach on the banks of the Rhine in my hometown Mainz, empty in winter, but in summer people flock here and try to create a beach feeling with trendy drinks. Great fun :-)

#photography I straighten up inside and breathing through my mouth to avoid the stench of piss. Underpass to hell? But then I spotted the rubbish bin at the exit, hiding anxiously from too much use. So I have to endure the stench a little longer and document this successful attempt at camouflage.

Photo of an underpass with graffiti on the walls and puddles of urine on the floor

A photo of a litter bin sprayed with the same graffiti as the wall behind it, cleverly concealing itself.

#landscape #photography #blackandwhite There are some beautiful floodplain forests on the banks of the Rhine, even close to big cities like Mainz.

A black and white photo. Several trees on the banks of the Rhine, partly in the water, form a floodplain landscape.
