  • I won a @wildernesstrailbikes contest earlier this year and one of the prizes was a pair of @quocshoes Gran Tourer shoes. They arrived recently and what was supposed to be a quick shopping ride to check them out turned into a proper water resistance test because I had to ride 7 km in pouring rain back home. My feet stayed dry and I was impressed.

  • Trailers for "Avengers – Endgame" and "Captain Marvel"

    These two trailers hit within the last few days and while I really can't wait to watch "Captain Marvel", the excitement for "Avengers – Endgame" is bitter sweet.
    Marvel has built up an amazing franchise starting with the first Iron Man movie. It has spawned an entire universe of movies, TV series, and other media that have entertained me for ten years. I really wonder how they are going to end this chapter with the last Avengers movie and what the next chapter will bring.

  • Captain Picard sings "Let it snow!"

    I somehow manage to forget this exists every year. This year my colleague Heather posted it in the work chat. Thank you, Heather!

  • Just finished “Lethal White” by Robert Galbraith, a.k.a. JK Rowling. Very good book and quite a bit different than the last three. Enjoyed every moment reading/listening to it.

  • Well, that settles it then. The Campfire Audio Andromeda are a worthy successor to my broken Westone UM3X. I’m sitting in a public space, listening to rock and I didn’t realise I was headbanging because I’m so engaged in the music.

  • A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to shoot a couple of pictures while a beekeeping friend took care of a few of their hives. Fascinating animals. This is my favourite shot out of the session.

  • She looks so much like an overgrown bunny sometimes and it’s incredibly cute when all feet are right next to each other.

  • Signs of an incredibly fun afternoon clear-my-head ride. It was very muddy, the ground quite loose on already wet leaves in the forest and yet I didn’t face-plant once (YAY!). I simply love coming home with the bike looking like this.

  • Photos March 2017

    I can't believe how many pictures I shot in this month that I really wanted to keep and even print. Picking stuff to publish was even harder which is why I'm going to group the pictures in two sections; close-ups and animals.

    Close-ups

    I had bought the Fujifilm 16 mm macro extension ring again after having returned it once before. The first time around I simply didn't know how to approach shooting with it but after some reading and really just having walks with close-ups in mind, it clicked.

    Animals

    The first picture in here still classifies as a close-up, being shot with the macro extension ring and the XF90mmF2 R WR but it's also the picture of a bumble bee butt that I was super happy to capture.

    Many of the vineyards around here have dry stone walls which serve as perfect homes for various critters and this little lizard is one of them.

    And almost no photo post of mine is complete without a few pictures of dogs. The first picture must be one of my favourite shots of all time, capturing what is in my mind, the most photogenic dog I know. He's absolutely clueless and kind but was very patient with me.

  • Tiredness level:
    I have a hankering for a breakfast burrito.
