#FotoVorschlag "in der Stadt" /in the City

This is from #vienna / #wien, where we spent a couple of really good days! You really see the history in so many places.

#photography #blackandwhite

A black and white photograph of a stone building with columns and a staircase. The building appears to be a government building, located in a city setting. The image is outdoors, with a cloudy sky in the background. The dominant colors in the image are grey and white, creating a monochrome aesthetic. There are also two house-like structures in the foreground, suggesting a residential area. The overall scene exudes a sense of classic architecture and urban living. This image captures a moment in time, evoking a nostalgic and timeless feel.

Wife has finished her #Crochet Projekt.
The wreath is made of wood, the rest is wool.
It looks pretty cool!

#häkeln

A close-up of a charming hand-crocheted wreath bursting with autumn warmth. Crocheted orange slices in bright shades of yellow and orange sit alongside brown cinnamon sticks tied neatly with a white ribbon, while green leaves and plump red berries fill the gaps between them. The decorations are attached to a light-colored grapevine base, giving the piece a natural, rustic texture. Every element is lovingly handmade, with the vibrant yarn colors evoking the cozy scents and hues of fall and winter — oranges, spice, and berries gathered in one decorative circle ready to welcome the season.

Quick afterwork cycling to the south.
It's the time of the year for lights and warmer socks already. I returned at about 7°C... It's getting chill...
But good to get some activity after an office day!

my #silentSunday photo today. It's from our last vacation. The recent photos aren't ready to be posted. - And I don't want to stress myself.

Enjoy your sunday!

#landscape #photography

A sunlit meadow glows with the soft warmth of late spring, where tall grasses sway gently in the breeze. Delicate blades of green and gold stretch toward the sky, their feathery tips catching the light like strands of silk. Scattered throughout, vibrant blue cornflowers add splashes of color, their petals unfurling like tiny stars against the golden backdrop. The scene hums with quiet life—bees drift lazily from bloom to bloom, while the air carries the faint scent of earth and wildflowers. A peaceful expanse, untouched and full of simple beauty, inviting wanderers to pause and breathe in the tranquility of nature’s embrace.

We cleaned the drivetrains of our bikes today. Oh wow - I always forget that close-to-black is not the normal color 🙈 And in the evening we drove to dinner by bike. The laziness said "take the car", but we took the bike because - hey, why not. Getting some activity, we have the jackets and […]

Ein Herbstblick nach oben durch die leuchtend roten Blätter einer Baumkrone in den blauen Himmel. Im Vordergrund füllen warme, kupferrote Blätter und dunkle Äste den oberen Bildrand; das Sonnenlicht scheint hindurch und lässt sie fast durchscheinend wirken. Darunter erstreckt sich eine weite grüne Wiese bis zu einem Horizont aus weiteren Bäumen und einem sanften Hügel. Der Himmel ist ein klares, tiefes Blau, durchzogen von wenigen, dünnen weissen Wolkenbändern. Das Bild vermittelt die ruhige, weite Stille eines sonnigen Herbsttages, an dem das Gold des Sommers noch einmal in vollem Rot erstrahlt, bevor der Winter kommt.

I let it be a lazy Sunday today

Na, verständlich. Das ist so ein Feature an Filmen mit dem ich mich nicht anfreunden kann / will

Uff, not going to become a fan of the #dune movies. 😞

@hikingdude.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy Oct 10, 2026, 6:51 PM

Watching #dune2. Nice movie but, man, how I dislike reading subtitles.

#gaming is truely a good thing to detach from too much thinking. Having to concentrate and focus on the story fully consumes my focus. That's one of the reasons I love computer games

@hikingdude.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy Oct 10, 2026, 5:34 PM

Updating #witcher3... I won't play it the next days or maybe even weeks unless I haven't finished Baldurs Gate. But it might be really cool coming back to the world of the Witcher.
Or Dragon Age? I haven't played it in ages but have good memories of it

Bless a day of rain, I can finally approach the end of #BaldursGate3 ! But the final will not be today.
What an epic game

Just reviewed some more "old" photos and videos and found some more unpublished hiking clips.
THis is from the Bayerischer Wald / Bavarian Forest, where we were hiking along the border to the Czech Republic.

(And I need to feed my #peertube server a bit - as long as there's some free space :-D) […]

Early November Morning Walk (2025)

#MorningWalk #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #Autumn

View of a lake surrounded by swamps and wetlands with lush vegetation of by this time of the year mostly dry grasses, bushes, bare trees. Some beautiful goldenrod and reeds in the foreground. Bright sunny day with clear blue sky, also reflected in the almost still water.

My contribution to the #Fotovorschlag 'Fließendes Wasser' / 'flowing water' is one of my best photos.

I was just super lucky that the stairs were so flooded, that I took the tripod with me (despite not knowing whether I'd need it) and my wife having the […]
