In my gallery you'll find a colorful mix of the world through my lens. Street, travel, nature. All photos were taken by me.

Lost in the dance of water and time, a silent figure lingers in thought.

A dynamic fountain scene featuring intricate bronze sculptures surrounded by splashing water. The contrast between the solid, timeless statues and the ever-moving droplets creates a sense of energy and motion. The image evokes themes of mythology, nature, and the passage of time, blending permanence with transience in a captivating display.

Below, at the edge of the path, childhood rests —
small, silent, forgotten in the sand.
Our hands let it go long ago,
but it still lingers in our steps.
We keep walking, eyes ahead,
but the wind behind us whispers old names.
We no longer listen —
but sometimes, in quiet moments,
we feel the echo inside us.
A toy, a hill, a sky
that has grown too large for us.
We walk on,
because walking on is all we can do.

Unten, am Rand des Weges, ruht die Kindheit –
klein, stumm und vergessen im Sand.
Unsere Hände haben sie längst losgelassen,
doch in unseren Schritten schwingt sie noch mit.
Wir gehen weiter, den Blick nach vorn,
doch der Wind hinter uns flüstert alte Namen.
Wir hören nicht mehr hin –
aber manchmal, in stillen Momenten,
spüren wir das Echo in uns.
Ein Spielzeug, ein Hügel, ein Himmel,
der uns größer geworden ist.
Wir gehen,
weil wir gehen müssen.

The black-and-white photograph depicts a gently sloping path leading from a sandy area in the foreground up to a small hill. At the lower edge of the path, a small plastic children's tricycle stands abandoned. It appears unused, as if left behind.

In the upper left part of the image, at the highest point of the path, two people can be seen walking away from the viewer. They are slightly blurred, caught mid-step, seemingly engaged in conversation. The sky is mostly overcast, with soft, diffused light. The surrounding landscape is sparse, with patches of grass and low vegetation lining the path.

The composition is divided into three layers: the sandy foreground with the toy, the rising path, and the sky with the two distant figures.

Silent sentinels marking the path between safety and infinity.

A calm, almost silent waterscape stretches into the distance, punctuated by a series of weathered wooden poles standing like quiet sentinels in the still water. Their reflections ripple softly beneath them, blurring the boundary between solid and liquid. In the foreground, a small tuft of wild grass clings to the rocky shore, a subtle reminder of life persisting in this sparse, almost forgotten place. The horizon is hazy, blending sky and water into a seamless expanse, leaving the viewer with a sense of quiet isolation and timelessness.

A couple sits on a wooden bench atop a snow-covered mountain, gazing at the breathtaking alpine landscape. In the distance, rugged peaks stretch into the horizon beneath a pale winter sky. Nearby, two signposts mark the border between Germany (Bavaria) and Austria (Tyrol), their poles covered in stickers left by previous visitors. The untouched snow and crisp mountain air create a serene and timeless moment of quiet reflection.

In a desert that turned out to be the city’s backyard, a lone red van wonders if it missed the turn at the last oasis.

The image beautifully captures the silhouette of a tall palm tree against the warm glow of the setting sun.

The image captures a stunning kestrel perched on the edge of an old, weathered rooftop. Its sharp eyes gaze intently into the distance, while its beautifully patterned plumage, a mix of warm brown tones with dark spots, blends harmoniously with the rustic tiles. The moss and lichen growing on the roof add a sense of age and texture, contrasting with the bird’s sleek feathers. The soft, blurred background of grey roof tiles enhances the focus on the kestrel, highlighting its elegance and natural presence.

#Venice - Where time flows like water, and bridges whisper stories of centuries past.

#photography #photo #urbanphotographer #urbanphotography #urbanexploration #streetphotography #canal #travelphotography #italy #mediterranean #italia

This photograph captures an architectural scene in Venice, Italy, blending elegance with timeless charm. The focal point is a beautifully ornate building with bright, white facades adorned with classical architectural details such as arched windows, decorative cornices, and intricate moldings. The structure exudes a sense of grandeur, characteristic of Venetian Renaissance and Baroque influences.

In the foreground, a quaint wooden bridge gracefully arches over a canal, its dark, weathered texture contrasting with the light tones of the building. Wooden mooring posts flank the edge of the water, grounding the scene in its Venetian context. The canal’s surface reflects the soft light of the overcast sky, adding depth and a sense of tranquility to the composition.

A wrought-iron lamp post near the bridge adds an additional touch of classic Venetian charm, while the muted palette of whites, greys, and browns gives the image a serene and harmonious aesthetic.
