People develop quite a bit of fantasy to draw attention to their business like this owner of a service station in Caruthers, CA. There was a big puddle in front of the place which gave me the opportunity to photograph the place with a nice reflection.
Blickfang
Dieser sehr schön zurecht gemachte Oldtimer Lieferwagen stand vor kurzem vor dem Phaeno, unserem Science Center in Wolfsburg, als Werbefahrzeug. Ich dachte so, vor mehr als 50 Jahren, als dieser Ford Transit gebaut wurde, hätte sich niemand danach umgedreht. Wie sich die Zeiten wandeln. Heute ist er ein Schmuckstück und Blickfang.
This beautifully restored vintage van was recently parked in front of the Phaeno, our science center in Wolfsburg, as an advertising vehicle. I thought that more than 50 years ago, when this Ford Transit was built, nobody would have looked at it. How times change. Today it’s a gem and an eye-catcher.
Osterhase
Während der Osterzeit steht am Eingang des Wolfsburger Outlet-Centers jedes Jahr dieser aufblasbare Osterhase, der für Süßigkeiten wirbt. Es sieht fast so aus, als würde er vorsichtig um die Ecke schauen.
Every year during the Easter period, this inflatable Easter bunny stands at the entrance to the Wolfsburg outlet center, advertising sweets. It almost looks as if he is peering cautiously around the corner.

Wandering in the Austrian Alps
Just 3 weeks ago: a group of wanderers in the Austrian Alps on their way to Lankenalm Hut in the Schoenach Valley.
Romantic ruins
The ruins of the castle and cathedral on the top of Oybin mountain is a symbol for German history. At the border between Poland, Bohemia/Czech Republic and Saxonia it saw many different people pass by. In the 18th century it was discovered by the romantic painters like Caspar David Friedrich. It is especially attractive in Winter, when the old stones are not hidden behind the trees

Trees In The Desert
While on a road-trip through the South-West, I finally found the time to work more intense on my infrared photography.

A Tree in the Desert – surrounded by a road-way – complimented by a group of trees nearby – the road vanishes in the distance
A scene so serene

Nearby another tree – bent, but not broken – waiting for the Spring
