airport diner
the airport zurich has become our most frequently used hub for private and business trips to any destination in germany and europe. despite the fact that fares in switzerland are mainly a bit more costly compared to f.e. stuttgart or munich, the circumstance, that the terminals in zurich can be easily reached by train from constance within an hour, is definitely more important for us here.
fisherman alberto
one might not believe that, but indeed the fisherman alberto from rinella and the two of us had a discussion almost lasting for half an hour, despite the fact that he is not able to speak english whereas we don't not know much about italian.

waiting for colour
highly likely this container, resting at the northern coast of sicilia on the peninsula tonno, waits for anything but its collection since years. so having the islands of vulcano on the left and lipari and salina on the right in focus, the colourful container and we were at least waiting for a bit more of natural colour at the end of that day.
cloud topping
with the coming posts i'm going to take you with me on a journey through the tyrrhenian sea. after almost three years of studying in parallel to the usual work the batteries had to be recharged from the ground up. travelling to an archipelago like the aeolian islands in off-season sounded like an appropriate approach, that proved to be true in the aftermath.
in the image you can enjoy a pretty typical view from malfa, the capital of salina - one of the seven aeolian islands - to north-east direction. on the left with a column of smoke (blown away by the wind) the sole really active vulcano in europe, stromboli, on the right the island of the rich and beautiful italians, panarea. due to microclimatic circumstances these two islands are often covered by a single cloud each, what imo makes for a pretty funny frame.
more to come.
