Ok be aware, some ugly self-laudation follows, haha. As of today, I have lost 30Kg or 60 pounds weight. I’m on a diet since 6 month now and I’m quite proud that I have made it so far. These photos are a contribution to one of the things which made it possible to reached this second last milestone: my bike.

Well, there are many more reasons: my wife, because of her infinite patience and support and for strictly not buying any sweeties; my son who doesn’t call me flab anymore; my doc, who asked me one of the most important questions of my life: “do you want to see your son grow up?” and well, my, incredible willpower (loud buzzer sound: lie lie lie!!!!).

Ok, enough of this. Let’s go for the next 25 pounds to reach the final target.

Spyker C8 Spyder details

Spyker

8 Comments Galleries, Technique

An interior series about the Spyker C8 Spyder, a truly fascinating car. Fascinating in details and technology (400HP, 300kmh, 187mph). You can see (and feel) the craftmanship in every single detail, from the gull-winged doors to the leather seams. Well, unfortunately it’s “a bit” pricey for me, but at least I could shoot some photos.

Little Chapel

Today I came across this little chapel. Outlined by a hedge and framed by oak trees, it’s a wonderful place to take a rest and think about stuff like the following quote. For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel. – Martin Luther

A path in the woods

One of these moments in the woods to think of why the environment has to be preserved.

Spring makes a short break this weekend (but that’s ok, nature needs the rain), and our almond tree is fully in bloom. Like almost every year, I simply have to post a picture of an almond blossom, even it’s a very common subject ;).

Spring Break

After a long and dark winter, it’s so nice to see nature’s awakening again. Though the nights are still cold, we had warm temperatures (17-20° C) the last days and the sun is shining from a clear blue sky. Yet our catkin is blooming and the first diligent bees are on the job. This weekend [...]

The Shining Of Things

She calls my name and I come running

Snow Clouds

Clouds announcing new snowfall at the utterly congealed coastline. The frozen sand with the stones seems to be as hard as concrete. Good tramping boots recommended, otherwise it hurts after a while.

Kite

I’ve recently read the book “The Kite Runner” from Khaled Hosseini. A wonderfully written, touching, thoughtful and brilliant story and for sure a recommendation to all who like to read good tales. The book inspired me a bit on this picture.

All Souls Night
