The solitary tree

Another homage to the great Caspar David Friedrich: The solitary tree with it's grazing animals around...Yes, admitted, it looks not that similar...but nevertheless somehow strange...

More lifestock

A cow with a rather big calf...probably just to lazy to eat grass..

Station series: Königstein

A rather tiny station, but beautifully located next to the river Elbe.Nowadays every ordinary regional train looks like a space ship, much more futuristic than some 80's science fiction movies...

Along the way

One day, again on the way from one of the several steep rocks to one of the several small lovely villages.......we came across sheeps. One of them was the black sheep of the family.We made eye contact...I was not quite sure if it was meant friendly...maybe just curious...?

Der Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer

A famous painting of Caspar David Friedrich, my favorite landscape painter, is the Wanderer über dem Nebelmeer (Wanderer above the Sea of Fog).
As it happened I spent a couple of days in the area where he painted it. The weather played its necessary role so I tried to re-enact the scene, as a small and humble homage.It wasn't as easy as it looks, a rain storm was blowing me almost over the railing....500 meters vertical down to the ground...I was barely able to steady myself with one hand after several hours of hard mountain climbing to reach the peak... ;-)
Pictures were taken on top of the Schrammsteine, Sunday afternoon...
