Little Alien Planet

Empty eyes (literally) and a look like an alien… The empty hull of a dragonfly larva.

Tiny black Panther

A cat from our neighborhood… If she’s around when we go for a walk, she always comes to get some petting.

Sarina’s Kitchen

Sarina’s kitchen is quite a mess… I did not figure since when the tavern is abandoned – but it must be a while.

Grown from Fire

One evening after barbecue at the river…

Shot on my Sony ILCE-7RM3 with an old Helios 44-2 and processed in Luminar 3.
Handheld shot with f2.0 and ISO 2500 for 1 second.

Bridge to the Sunset

Like you can take the crane and drive to the sunset…

Shot in the old Ferrum foundry on a nice Saturday evening.

Hangin’ on

Last weekend on a little lake in the forest: a young dragonfly is hanging on the grass to inflate and dry the wings.

Shot on my Sony ILCE-7RM3 with the FE 90mm F2.8 G OSS Macro; Edited in Aurora HDR.

The Ghost of the Lake

The ghost of the lake is an empty dragonfly larva in the moss. The larva is usually hiding under water in the mud – but one day those spacey creatures get out in the sun and a dragonfly makes her way out of it.

The “fog” is not added in post processing but a result from using a flashlight as the light source pointing to the lens.

Outlook

Usually flies are quite annoying: walking over our food or land in our faces and we have no clue where their feet were just before… But if you take a closer look, they are quite fascinating creatures!

For once… I only removed two sensor spots, a little sharpening and rotate – no HDR or other (for me usually) typical processes.

This Boot was made for Walking

Once made for walking, the retired boot sits at the door, looking out to the green world.

Underground

From our exploration on last Sunday: a table underground – in the cellar of an old tavern in Switzerland.

Lost Control

A forgotten remote control for one of the many cranes insider the old foundry.

Under broken Windows

At the old pool in the Clinique du Diable, Frank frames his shot.
