These are crazy times! We have the first week of January, which should mean winter with temperatures around 0°C (32°F). Today we had about 10°C (50°F) and see what I found on my walk today: A catkin! usually this means spring is near which should happen in about 10 weeks from now :(
Call me stupid, but I think nature has changed and I’m afraid where this will lead us.

A picture I snapped mid of december in 2014 but light too impressive to keep this view from you. It’s exactly what the camera took without any changes done by lightroom or any other software. Amazing, isn’t it?
Enjoy, Andrew >:o)
Snapped this cute little meerkat at Vienna’s Zoo. They had an animal popularity survey last year and while looking at this picture it’s easy to get why meerkats got on first place ;)
By the way – I’m waiting for my new Olympus 40-150 1:2.8 PRO lens now for months. First Olympus confirmed delivery in november, which became mid of december and now we’ve january 2015.
The good news is that it seems as if they are now able to roll out the new lens to europe during the next days. I hope today was the last time I had to use the Olympus 75-300 1:4.8-6.7 II lens at the zoo!
If I can get my hands on the new lens you’ll get a detailed review on ‘lensblues.com’ as soon as possible. I’m so eager for this glass to proof my theory which says that one only needs two lenses in a lifetime, which are the ‘Olympus 12-40 mm 1:2.8 PRO’ and the ‘Olympus 40-150 mm 1:2.8 PRO’. Lets see if I’m right ;)
Ciao! Andrew >:)
Close view on a large gas tank which gives a nice abstract picture.
Enjoy, Andrew >:o)
Now it’s the perfect time to get great snapshots of this little pixies for just one or two peanuts as appropriate fee ;)
Enjoy! Andrew >:o)
My wife is an excellent chef in general but today she has outdone herself creating an extra delicious ‘creamy zucchini soup’!
And by the way – a meal can also be a piece of art, as these pictures are proving ….
Enjoy the meal,

Autumn is ‘ante portas’ – colors go wild – for me the best time of the year!
Enjoy, Andrew >:o)
This time it’s my pleasure to present you Constantins october reader-contribution.
Let’s listen what he has to say:
“The steam train “Mocanita” is a very important tourist attraction in Romania, for those who visit the area located in northen Romania – called “Maramures” and can be found only there.
At the terminus station the tourists can eat, drink and dance. The speed of the train is maximum 20km/h, and this helps tourists-photographers.
