Hiked to one of the peaks of the ‘Gruppo de Sella’, Cima Pisciadu (2985m), with much of the time spent above the tree line. The austere environment is what I imagine the moon to look like.

Seiser Alm 2 comments
‘Alm’ is an alpine meadow where cows and sheep graze during the summer months. The Seiser Alm is the largest high-elevation Alpine meadow in Europe and offers stunning views (and easy skiing in winter) of the Dolomite mountains (covered by clouds today, unfortunately).

First full day in the Dolomites (Val Gardena) and it rains. Great time for some black&white shots! These were taken at the top of the Seceda Ridgeline.

What Apple doesn’t want you to know about films shot with an iPhone. Leave a comment
You’ve seen the ads: gorgeously filmed imagery that’s sharp, beautifully lit, and expertly composed. And somewhere along the way they proudly proclaim ‘Shot with iPhone.’
What they don’t show is that to get that type of shots, you need a whole lot more than just a phone, as this picture demonstrates.
So if you’re an aspiring photographer frustrated by the fact that your shots don’t quite turn out like those used in TV ads, don’t despair – in this case it really IS a matter of having better equipment.

Speedway, Indiana Leave a comment
A quick business trip to Indiana allowed for lunch at Speedway, home of the Indy 500. Half a mile away from the glitzy track is a land that time forgot.

Yesterday Werner Braun became my 1,500th follower (thank you, Werner!), almost 5 years after starting this blog. How serendipitous, given that my late father, Werner Braum, was the first person to follow my blog (thank you, Dad!).
