“Those to whom Nature begins to reveal her open secret, feel an irresistible longing for her worthiest interpreter, Art.”

Saxony, Germany
The red bus in the canola field.
I actually was about to take a photo of a landscape in Saxony. I was inspired by the contrast of colors of the yellow canola, the alley in tones of green & white, and the blue sky, when a red historic bus literally crossed my plan and crashed the party. Well, opportunity makes the moment, the moment makes a photo, and now the picture has its king.

Quiraing, Scotland
Quiraing Viewpoint is assumed to offer the most beautiful view over Isle of Skye. In case of good weather, it's worthwhile to climb to the rim of the valley. From there you can get the well known post card motif with the small tree in the foreground. As it started to rain, I took this photo from the parking at the viewpoint. It offers a view to the North with the rock "The Prison" in the middle of the picture.

Sellin, Rügen, Germany
The pier in Sellin on the island Rügen is the most beautiful and known pier in the German east coast. I was lucky to witness this breathtaking sunset. At the end of a cold, wet, and grey day I drove to Sellin, just in case. The sky opened up and for 2 minutes the evening sun lightened up the whole sky from below in the most beautiful colors. I would say: in the right place at the right time.
