Crescent Moon with Venus over Bernal Heights

It is not that long ago that I captured the moon with Venus over Bernal heights [link]. Tonight we had a similar situation and I couldn’t resist to take my camera out of the bag. But I didn’t stop after the first few images. Today I set up my camera to capture the sequence of […]

Star shower over San Francisco bay

For a long time, I wanted to capture star-trails over San Francisco. I already tried several times, but the condition were just not right. Last night I went to the East Bay and I had a beautiful cloudless and fog-less sky. Perfect for a little experiment: Not everything went according to plan, but I am […]

Postcard from Hörnli, Switzerland

Yesterday we went for a short hike to the top of the Hörnli, our local mountain. It is only 1,133 meters (3,717 ft) high, but still much higher than the surrounding hills. Often this is the escape to see the sun when the lower elevations are covered in fog. We arrived a bit too late to see […]

Postcard from Cinque Terre

Today we arrived in Vernazza, which is one of the five towns in Italy’s Cinque Terre. During the day, the clouds in the sky looked very promising, but eventually they totally blocked the sun. I am happy that I took this shot well before sunset and not too soon before the sun disappeared for good. […]

Postcard from Venice

I love Venice with all the different channels and bridges. This little square with the old well was not far from the place I stayed. I am happy how this image turned out with the blue sky backlit by the moon and the red colored buildings.

Postcard from Paris

I always enjoy seeing the Eiffel Tower at night when visiting Paris! Even better is taking images from a location I haven’t been before. Thanks for the rain, I got this nice reflection in the granite. Next I went down to the Seine to get a different perspective.

America’s Cup, Race 3/4

This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. After a beautiful day with blue sky for day 1 of the America’s Cup, day 2 was a typical San Francisco day with fog hanging over the bridge. There was another difference: while Emirates Team New Zealand won the first two races of […]

America’s Cup, Race 1/2

This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Finally it is September and the first day of America’s Cup racing arrived. After the lopsided races in the Louis Vuitton Coup, we finally got two teams competing…. or almost… Emirates Team New Zealand won both races, although with a much smaller margin, […]

Moon and Venus over Bernal Heights

Being busy with unpacking from my recent trip to Burning Man, I totally missed tonight’s sunset. I saw the beautiful pastel colors in the sky, but didn’t have time to leave home to try to capture this. But a little bit later while preparing the BBQ to cook dinner, I saw the moon and Venus […]

RedBull Youth America’s Cup, Race 7

This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. I missed the first two days of racing of the RedBull Youth America’s Cup (RBYAC) here in San Francisco, but I was very pleased to see our Swiss Team Tilt being in second place. Unfortunately, they couldn’t keep this position during races four […]

Louis Vuitton Cup, Race 8, ETNZ vs. LR

This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Today was race 8 of the Louis Vuitton Cup. With a win, Emirates Team New Zealand could close the series. But the weather was much different than in the past few races. The wind was hovering just below 10 kts and the Golden […]

Balloons in the Sierra Nevada

Jeff Sullivan invited us to join him for a photowalk at a hot air balloon event at a lake in the Tahoe National Forest. This is an unofficial event where balloon teams meet each other for some fun and social time. Another goal is to give their support personnel a chance to fly, since they […]
