After the last work day of our trip we took a detour to Rothenburg to wander around a bit. This was one of the walls on the edge of town. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL1018 lens @ 10mm, 1/125 sec shutter, f/11, ISO 100
One of the evenings when we weren’t cramming schnitzel into our faces, we went out to Octoberfest to drink large volumes of fair-to-middlin’ beer. In hindsight, this was not a good idea, but it would have been rude to decline our hosts’ invitation. The entire todo around Octoberfest is pretty… Continue reading
What’s interesting about this picture is not the pretty little village, it’s that this was a typical two lane road that we were on every day going to and from the plant. Germany is known for the autobahn, a road engineered to be almost 2x as hefty as normal, but… Continue reading
And, what does one get to eat at the Werner restaurant? A meter long schnitzel! For those who might not know, schnitzel is fried steak. This place served schnitzel that was a meter long… and our table downed two of them. It was not a healthy trip. Also, since you… Continue reading
So, a few weeks ago, some coworkers and I had a trip to Germany. I figure I’ll post some of the pictures over the next few days. Let’s start it off with this one – a shot of the Werner restaurant where we had our team dinner one evening. Please… Continue reading

We actually got up early and left Aberdeen right around 7AM headed for the Mt. Ellinor trail head which we reached around 9:00. I think there were two trail heads for Mt. Elinore and we were heading for the upper, which involved many miles of bumpy dirt road to access. … Continue reading
One of the tulips in Mark’s yard from last spring. I did some experimenting with reducing the depth of field, but ended up liking the version with slight definition in the grass better. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 88mm, 1/10 sec shutter, f/11, ISO 100
Because we stopped short of Olympic National Forest, we had to finish the drive up to Quinault first thing in the morning. The first stop was a the USFS / NPS Recreation Information building where we got a map of the immediate area (not so much Olympic National Park as… Continue reading
I had a concept in mind for this picture, but I think I didn’t execute it quite right. I probably should have poked around a bit more to find a better flower patch without the little tree to the right. Also, the shot ended up busier than I expected. Picture… Continue reading
