Heavy Metal Breakdown

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 19:22:01 +0100

Somewhere in the state of New York or Vermont. Great song too.

Paths Untravelled

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:57:12 +0100

We all meander through life.

Watch it Burn

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:50:55 +0100

As good a place as any, at least we can sit down.

Double Rainbow

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 16:09:26 +0100

Not quite east, east of Aberdeen.

Is Haskell a path?

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 15:54:05 +0100

Who wouldn’t want to wander a bit.

White Noise

Sun, 20 Feb 2022 10:21:32 +0100

We should go and check what is in there.

Drink Up

Sun, 27 Dec 2020 10:37:09 +0100

It will not stay like this forever. Though you might be the first to change.

Take Another Look

Sun, 27 Dec 2020 10:30:40 +0100

Not every path you see is actually there. Pattern matching is a great thing.

Endless

Tue, 18 Aug 2020 18:04:09 +0200

To see through their eyes.

Little Friend

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 14:05:38 +0200

Save me from Hunger.

Over the Ridge

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 14:05:38 +0200

There an ocean awaits, behind it comes the memory of the future.

Like Magic

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 11:52:31 +0200

Somewhere between here and there and a broken knee.

Microcosm

Mon, 27 Apr 2020 20:36:09 +0200

From the rolling hills, down into another world.

Your Own Heaven

Thu, 27 Feb 2020 16:11:50 +0100

A painting by any other name.

Blindness

Fri, 21 Feb 2020 15:45:36 +0100

You need both to see my world.

Rough Details

Tue, 03 Sep 2019 17:40:32 +0200

The wheel lies broken and the raven is crying.

Hot Air

Tue, 30 Apr 2019 15:11:27 +0200

Found them up there and tried to not scare them too much.

Toppled View

Tue, 30 Apr 2019 14:21:09 +0200

Maybe only inverted.

Longing

Sat, 26 May 2018 11:33:09 +0200

Take the opening you can see.

Passing Through

Sat, 26 May 2018 11:27:58 +0200

There is nothing alive on the inside, only contempt.

Turn Your Back

Sat, 26 May 2018 11:21:02 +0200

There still is time to run.

Faces

Mon, 19 Mar 2018 15:16:40 +0100

Can you see them in your dreams?

A Card From the Past

Mon, 29 Jan 2018 10:41:40 +0100

I tried to recreate the look of an old postcard. Whether or not it succeeded, I like the result.

Look at it and think of your days gone by.

Ghosts in the Mirror

Mon, 23 Oct 2017 13:11:37 +0200

You can see them if you look closely.

Waiting

Mon, 23 Oct 2017 13:01:21 +0200

About 20 miles outside Casper, Wyoming, waiting for the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017.

At this point we were just waiting and not talking much. It was a really eerie mood shortly before totality.

Looking Back

Thu, 12 Oct 2017 18:43:00 +0200

On my way south from Grand Teton National Park, back to Riverton.

I will never forget this view out of the rear window.

Everything

Sun, 19 Feb 2017 19:54:00 +0100

Standing until you miss it.

One day I will get the colour variant of this picture just right.

Know the Location?

Sun, 18 Sep 2016 17:06:21 +0200

You are the only one.

Which Way?

Fri, 03 Jun 2016 22:47:20 +0200

Build a new one, I’ll show you.

Some Mint

Tue, 19 Jan 2016 21:18:21 +0100

Really good with tea.

Claw Back

Tue, 19 Jan 2016 21:15:59 +0100

There is a void.

Horrorfilm, 1IW

Tue, 19 Jan 2016 20:25:54 +0100

Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos, but don't worry, you can download it and watch it with your favourite video player!

2007 at a schoolcamp in the swiss canton of Schwyz we got hold of a videocamera. The next day (and night) were spent shooting a little horrorfilm with all the stuff we had lying around. The dialog was completely improvised and still has us in tears for its absolute nonsense.

I Want to Have a Little Bomb like You

Tue, 19 Jan 2016 20:01:00 +0100

A song taken from the 1969 issue of the 1964 Edinburgh Folk Festival recording.

The lyrics were written by Sydney Carter and it is sung by Nadia Cattouse.

Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded audio, but don't worry, you can download it and listen to it with your favourite audio player!

Hit that drum a great big whack,
I want to have a little bomb like you.
Fall in line and follow, follow,
I want to have a little bomb like you.
I like you and you like me,
but just in case we disagree,
I want to have a little bomb like you,
I want to have a little bomb like you

Cloud Factory

Sat, 01 Nov 2014 16:28:18 +0100

Now I know where they come from. Looks quite sophisticated to me.

Between Worlds

Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:47:56 +0100

Still a long way off. Keep walking.

(This was halfway between Thun and Spiez)

Walk With Me

Sun, 19 Oct 2014 18:41:16 +0100

He looks like he already did something in the general direction.

Look for the phrase at the webcomic A Softer World.

Dune?

Thu, 10 Jul 2014 20:17:05 +0200

Suddenly this thing leaped out of the fog. Maybe I was a little bit tired.

Slow Down

Thu, 05 Jun 2014 22:41:01 +0200

You will have to. Eventually.

Step Into the Light?

Sun, 18 May 2014 20:47:07 +0200

Not yet. Maybe later.

The World

Sun, 18 May 2014 19:38:48 +0200

Sometimes there is no big meaning.

Outreaching Death

Sun, 18 May 2014 19:31:15 +0200

The sky has always been so far away. And then you die.

Almost a Sunset

Fri, 09 May 2014 00:14:35 +0200

At least the colours come close.

Wanderlust

Sat, 12 Apr 2014 14:52:01 +0200

On my way from Thayngen (Switzerland) to Arlen (Germany). Somehow I managed to get into the only heavy rainshower for the whole weekend.

Protection

Sun, 06 Apr 2014 17:32:33 +0200

Feeling save yet?

Steam is Rising

Fri, 27 Dec 2013 11:54:56 +0100

I could watch it for hours.

A Quiet Place

Sat, 09 Nov 2013 01:01:44 +0100

Calm and beautiful, nothing more.

Fences

Sat, 09 Nov 2013 00:30:25 +0100

Do not let a border stop you.

Fire Clouds

Fri, 18 Oct 2013 18:43:55 +0100

Yeah, it is kitsch. But that’s life for you.

Walking Home

Fri, 18 Oct 2013 18:30:30 +0100

And again on my way home. Days are getting shorter.

A Close Vineyard

Fri, 04 Oct 2013 17:46:28 +0100

Just an impression of my way home from the office. And I do like wine.

Almost On Top of the Chasseral

Sat, 24 Aug 2013 09:56:53 +0200

A minute before this picture was taken it was all sunshine. A minute later the rain very nearly washed me off the surface.

Parc la Mutta and St. Remigius

Sat, 03 Aug 2013 06:35:37 +0200

So much history in this place. The church St. Remigius gets first mentioned in 765 CE and the standing stones are far older.

It is so fascinating to get there before sunrise.

It's a Sunrise

Sat, 03 Aug 2013 06:29:24 +0200

There are way to many pictures of sunrises. Here is mine.

Flower and Steel

Sun, 07 Jul 2013 18:17:37 +0200

A small flower in a world of steel.

Lifecycle

Sun, 07 Jul 2013 17:54:40 +0200

Old and young.

Storm

Mon, 17 Oct 2011 01:23:57 +0100

I only wanted to try the water shader in terragen and in the result you can even see a little bit of waves ;)

Fireplace

Sun, 31 Jul 2011 22:47:12 +0100

It was freaking hot so close up.

Aimless Wandering

Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:11:00 +0200

This is somewhere in the Swiss canton of Basel-Country near Zwingen. In order to escape the festivities for 1. August (Swiss National Day) I was wandering around without a clear destination in mind.

This turned out to be a really great experience and I can only recommend it.

Walking Through Memories

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 13:44:46 +0100

Looking for something that is not there.

Ploughing Through the Sky

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:49:39 +0100

Not in La Mancha but still, a windmill.

Well at Lake Neusiedl

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:29:02 +0100

Yeah, you can’t see the actual well. Who cares.

Cutting the Clouds

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:27:09 +0100

Somewhere in the Austrian State of Burgenland.

It was a dark day and this was a calming view.

Give Me Borders

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:43:57 +0100

Somewhere at the Austrian/Hungarian border towards Hungary. It looks sad.

Surrounded

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:09:52 +0100

The sky is the limit. Where else can you go with all the walls around.

Mossy Revolution

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:03:13 +0200

It is so damp near the river everything is covered in moss.

It looks amazing.

Across the Doubs

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:11:42 +0200

There was no bridge for some time. Fortunately the river was very calm and shallow here, so crossing it was a pleasant experience.

Lonely

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 11:12:09 +0100

Nothing but a cross.

Black Snow

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 11:02:34 +0100

This is somewhere around the small village of Stoss in Central Switzerland while almost getting lost in the fog.

In order to see the hill I had to tweak the image a bit thus resulting in the black coloured snow in the foreground.

Friendship

Fri, 21 Dec 2007 19:58:33 +0100

Over a horn of mead (and good mead that was).

Jesus in Rows

Wed, 10 Oct 2007 15:52:42 +0100

Just hanging there. Doesn’t he get bored? I would jump down.

Only a Peek

Wed, 10 Oct 2007 15:48:43 +0100

What do you see here? Nothing Is not acceptable.

The Dead Horse

Wed, 03 Oct 2007 20:21:12 +0100

Statue of St. Wenceslas riding a dead horse by David Černý.

This is a parody of the Wenceslas Monument. Beat it!

Swans on the Vltava

Sat, 29 Sep 2007 18:44:17 +0200

A beautiful evening in Prague.

Theatine Church

Mon, 30 Jul 2007 12:49:22 +0100

Theatine Church in Munich put into perspective.

Capricorn Stairs

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 15:38:45 +0100

It leads to them, I am sure.

Details Matter

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 15:42:04 +0200

This is somewhere in the Canton of Schwyz (Switzerland).

The view was breathtaking but the small details are just as beautiful.

A Modern Halberd

Sun, 17 Jun 2007 06:52:38 +0100

It is always war.

Weight of the World

Thu, 30 Nov 2006 14:58:08 +0100

Just sitting here and staring into the fog.

Some Colour

Thu, 30 Nov 2006 14:33:27 +0100

Why yellow? I have no idea.

Spittelhof

Thu, 30 Nov 2006 14:26:55 +0100

I used to see this farm everytime I went for a walk.

Werewolf Night

Sun, 08 Aug 2004 21:00:00 +0200

The sky over Dornoch Castle in Scotland.

Now to be a werewolf.

Pennan Harbour

Sun, 08 Aug 2004 15:00:00 +0200

I really liked Scotland. Sadly I haven’t come around yet to go a second time.

This is a slidescan.

I am not quite satisfied with the colours, expect some tweaks in the future.

Also it may be a good idea to clean the slide better next time…

A Cat and Its Boat

Sun, 08 Aug 2004 11:00:00 +0200

It just sat there staring at the Forth Bridge completely oblivious of me.
