formerly i was completely impatient of cats. now, that i got to know a handful of them very intensively, i'm deeply impressed by their various, but always grateful characters. consequently i'm hardly able to pass a cat without saying hello and establishing physical contact.

drunken chicken
if you put two good things like chicken and beer together, a great result has to emerge from the weber grill.
summer's up
..., at least almost. the colours of nature have already shifted to autumnal tones.
the image above shows the beautiful castle of kirchberg in sunset, i applied only small tweaks in lightroom.
at work
finally to complete the set of images from hamburg i'd like to publish matthias' photo, which shows me shooting the last sample of yesterday's posting.
he used an old zeiss clone, a canon 50 f1.5 ltm from 1952 with his leica m8 for that one. sooc jpg.
walking with a friend
the urban photographs of the last days have been taken on last saturday in the course of a walk across the fashionable districts next to hamburg's port together with my friend matthias, who had his leica m8 and several, mainly very old vintage lenses in his bag. for me it was the first time, that i came into contact with valuable leica, zeiss and canon glass, that had been built decades before my birthday and which is still working like a charm. his oldest lens was built in 1935!
the images below don't state anything special, but may give you an impression of hamburg's wonderful district altona.

powder barrel picnic
after a long and exhausting walk across the streets of st. pauli one is longing for a refreshment of any kind. agreeing with this fact i for one would eventually reconsider the place of eating: sitting next to a pulverfass - a powder barrel - seems to be not quite the best option.
homeless
yellow islands
most of the tourists have already left the region, the sun seems to follow. at least the beach chairs spread a bit of colour.
