Winter in Potsdam

We haven't had as much snow as this year for a long time during Christmas. When I was visiting my parents, it was a great opportunity to see the snow-covered parks in Potsdam. I really enjoyed the beautiful scenery during these last days. Tomorrow, however, I'll escape to Greece for a couple of days of sunshine and + (!) 15 °C, which is a welcome change.

Sunrise at the Matterhorn

Another image from my slide collection ... This one was taken during a bike tour with Thomas in the Alpes in 1997. We got up very early (probably something like 4:30) to make it to the Matterhorn from the village of Zermatt before / during sunrise.

Potsdam ... many years ago

I finally found a way to digitize my slide collections from the times of analog photography in a way that's not too time consuming and produces very good results. So I will probably spend most of the long winter nights creating digital versions of my old photographs. Since I first started taking pictures in the park of Sans-souci in Potsdam, here a first image of the >Neues Palais< in this park, which I took probably sometime in the 90ies with a Canon 500 N SLR. I'm sure I'll post more of these 'historic' pictures in the weeks to come!
