[singlepic id=1795 w=480 float=left] By the time this posts, I’ll actually be back in Germany for the second time in my life, 13 years later, and for a much shorter time. Maybe I’ll have some new pictures of cool things to post when I get back. This is some unknown… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1794 w=480 float=left] This is probably the one picture of the Auschwitz concentration camp that I think best sums up seeing it. One row of the buildings has been preserved, but the scale becomes more apparent when you realize that that’s an entire field full of the fireplaces that… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1793 h=480 float=left] I posted a picture of one of the chandeliers before, but I didn’t realize I had a picture that actually showed the size of some of the caverns left by the salt mining in Krakow, Poland. Also, special thanks to Olympus for putting an f/1.8 lens… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1791 w=480 float=left] Engelberg, Switzerland is still possibly the most picturesque little town I’ve ever been to. It seemed like it must have been completely kept in existence by tourism, but it didn’t have the level of commercialization that it seems most ski areas do. “It’s a German legend,… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1792 h=480 float=left] More a documentation picture than a really impressive scene – this shot of the Ariane 5 heavy lift rocket is from the Paris Airshow in 2001. Apparently there’s still a version of this in service today for putting satellites into orbit. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040Z,… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1790 w=480 float=left] A random sculpture item in Brussels and one of very few pictures that I prefer in black & white. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040Z, lens @ 7.3mm (40mm eq), 1/500 sec, f/3.6, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1789 h=480 float=left] If you’re asking yourself “What the hell is that thing?” I have no answers… it was a statue / sculpture for world peace or something in Luxembourg. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040Z, lens @ 17.5mm (96mm eq), 1/80 sec, f/2.3, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1787 w=480 float=left] Another from the “things I got to see, but of which every other picture is better because cameras don’t max out at 3mp now” collection. The London Eye / Millennium Wheel – before it was bought and rebranded by Coca-Cola. Not that Coke’s buying has any… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1786 w=480 float=left] La la la, I was once in Dublin and visited the Guinness Brewery. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040Z, lens @ 9.2mm (50mm eq), 1/400 sec, f/2.0, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1613 h=480 float=left] OK – done with the Key West pictures for now. 😛 Mile zero of US-1 which runs from the Canadian border in Maine to Key West. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040z, lens @ 7.3mm (40mm equiv), f/6.3, 1/400 sec, ISO 100
