Goodbye 2011
I wish you all a great year 2012!
A long time ago
I hope all your plans and dreams for 2011 come true. I think it’s going to be a fantastic year.
This photo of some trees at Schauinsland can also be viewed in my Flickr stream.

Goodbye 2009
silence
Yesterday I re-visited one of the most beautiful places in the Southern Black Forest, called Schauinsland. This is a beech tree that got its shape from the steadily blowing wind.
The weather was really uncomfortable (fog, wind, heavy snowfall, -5°C) but perfect for shots like this one. I’m really happy with how it came out. I didn’t convert the photo to b&w but due to the fog there were no colors. So it’s a “natural” b&w. 🙂

Photo from last winter (still have a lot of these). Hope I can visit this place very soon again.
