Sitting in Barcelona, Spain. Wearing my Indian shirt. Drinking my US-branded coffee. Paying with my UK-based credit card. Loving my German glasses. Shot this picture with my Chinese-manufactured iPhone XS Max.
That’s the truth in 2019.

Full Moon
Yesterday, an amazing full moon was visible here in Altlandsberg, Germany. And of course, I had to take a picture of it.
300mm F/5.6 1/2000s ISO2000, Sony Alpha 7 II with Tamron AF 70-300mm 4-5,6 Di LD
Awesome, isn’t it?
Autumn
4.25mm F/1.8 1/1136s ISO25, iPhone Xs Max I love autumns for their colors! This small tree is located close to my house and I snapped that picture the other morning when leaving home.

Lotte ist eine Katze. Und als solches mag sie mich nicht sonderlich und lässt sich nicht gerne von mir fotografieren.
Manchmal aber lässt sie es doch zu, und dann kommen solche Bilder dabei heraus. 😍❤️

At the end of a very busy, exhausting and stressful week, I took out my 5 year old Kindle Paperwhite and decided to read a book. Without disturbances and notifications, without video, color or any other distraction from the only one interesting thing: The book’s content.
As if mother nature is supporting this, today is a very peaceful and quite day. The cats are playing outdoors, the birds are quite silent, my younger son plays some games on his Android phone, the elder one still sleeps and my beautiful girlfriend watches some TV shows on her iPad, wearing her headphones.
So, the world around me is quite silent. I hope, it will remain that way for a while, since I enjoy it.
It’s a peaceful Sunday indeed.
Thank you, life.

Once upon a time (some 30 years ago), you had to wait up to 18 years for such a car – usually, the East-Germans ordered one after having given birth to a child. The Trabant was the only affordable car in East-Germany and was a super robust vehicle, which still runs today to thousands.
Impressive!

Today, my beautiful girlfriend and I went for some breakfast. We decided to visit the Milchbar Café in Strausberg, located in the very beautiful and picturesque old town. You should visit both – the cafe as well as the old town of Strausberg!
Definitely worth your attention.
Ninety Minutes to #Berlin
250km/h. Don’t try this at home.
While heading back home from Frankfurt to Berlin, I had to change trains in Hannover. From there to Berlin the distance is quite exactly 300km. Have you ever tried doing this on the infamous A2 Autobahn? It will usually take around three to four hours, often even more.
In comparison, the ICE train I’m currently in will do the same distance in less than ninety minutes.
Ninety. Minutes. From Hannover. To Berlin.
And yes: Spandau is not Berlin. But from Hannover to Spandau, it will only take around 75 minutes.
St. Paul in Munich
4.25mm F/1.7 1/1050s ISO100, OnePlus 6, filtered using Adobe Lightroom CC
For the past three days, I was delivering a Xamarin Training in Munich. My – very awful – hotel was located near Munich Central Station and Theresienwiese. Best thing about it was St. Paul being in very close sight.
Impressive church!
