Mr. Wallace - The adopted Cat

In September 2014, after his previous "owner" moved out and left him, I adopted Mr. Wallace aka Fettbacke, Two-Tooth, Sweetie, Fluffy, Darling. Ever since he's been my sunshine, mice catcher, foot warmer, pain in the neck (when he's hungry, which he is almost always) and photo model. I've never been a cat-person... but now that he's with me... I think he's the most cute tomcat I have ever seen. Here are some pictures to show how photogenic he is...

Leith shore has such an old world charme. I was also lucky with the light. Although freezing cold, the low sun created long shadows which gave everything a special magical and calm appearance. Apparently Leith is becoming a trendy hotspot with two Michelin Star restaurants located here. Leith...

Photos from my walk/climb at Holyrood Park, Arthur's Seat and the Salisbury Crags taken on my visit to Edinburgh in December 2011 As you may have gathered, I'm not a big writer. Hence this post is stripped down to what I'm better at, which is taking pictures. All I can say about that walk is that the scenery is stunning, that it was ice cold, very windy and it there was a slight drizzle. Almost lost my fingers to the cold! I still haven't learned...

Winter in the Ore Mountains - a long story

... and a long story it is indeed. Firstly there are lots of photos in this blog and secondly winters are usually long in the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge).  The Ore Mountains, a region in Saxony, Germany (Map) are also called the Christmas Land (Weihnachtsland) because it's snow safe and has pretty little towns and villages that lie in valleys and are surrounded by forests.  Here is a selection of photos I've taken during...

New Forest Autumn - in Black & White

Impressions from my 6 miles, 6 hours, 600 photos walk in the New Forest National Park, near Brockenhurst, Hampshire. No worries, you won't be seeing 600 pictures. I've selected the ones I like the best. Mainly trees... my favourite photo subject anyway... and I've chosen the ones with real character. If you are interested in the walking route, the map and walk description can be downloaded here: http://www.hants.gov.uk/rh/walking/riverwalk-2.pdf It...
