dog or fox?

I found this graffito on a wall in the historical center of Bucharest. I hope most of you could enjoy a free day today - happy first of May :)

spring is coming

Sorry

Please excuse my break from blogging (too much work and too much skiing meant that I didn't really spend time at home anymore). I promise to be back more often!!

...

this snowfall made me think of the fairy tale of Mother Hulda (in German: Frau Holle). It took only 5 minutes to cover everything in snow...

remembering warmer days

in the middle of winter. As I like skiing very much I still support the snow quite well (but warmer days seem so far away...) The picture shows a breakfast we took in Strasbourg last year in october.

Hinterzarten-Schluchsee

Last Saturday me and a friend went on a skiing tour from Hinterzarten to Schluchsee. It's a classic tour of about 32 km. The conditions were wonderful - we had 1,50 metres of new snow and lots of sunshine. The first picture shows the Raimartihof which is close to the Feldberg (you reach it after 10 km). The second picture shows the valley of Menzenschwand. The third picture was taken close to Farnwitte (km 14). The last pictures waren taken at the Roßhütte after 20 km.

Sorry

I'll try to blog more frequently again!!

Happy New Year

We visited the wind-beaten "Wetterbuchen" close to the summit of the Schauinsland summit once more (this time it was sunny and the visibility was better than last time - see http://friederikebauer.blogspot.de/2012/02/wetterbuchen.html for a comparison)
