PADs #104–108

This week was a week of crazy skies and beautiful light.

PAD #104 | “Sunrise” | Around 8:30 a.m. at my office, I saw the sun rise above the hills surrounding Marburg. Recently, sunrises have been extraordinarily beautiful around here.

PADs #97–99

Here are my PAD picture of the last three days, which I didn’t get around to post until today.

PAD #97 | “New toy” | This is one of Emil’s new toys that he got for christmas, a little wooden train with wooden tracks that can be arranged in a number of ways. Especially fun for a little boy like him: the trains runs on a battery!

PAD #96 | “Christmas star”

The christmas series continues with another illuminated christmas star. Unlike those featured recently, this one was plain white. So no significant information was lost upon conversion to b&w ;-)

PAD #95 | “Landscape”

The region where my wife’s family lives is plastered with power plants. Whichever direction you look, chances are you’ll see a plant somewhere on the horizon. Not the best surroundings for photographing landscapes … except if a juxtaposition of nature and industry is what you’re looking for.
