Fifty-one years ago today Neil Armstrong stepped onto the surface of the Moon in what was perhaps the greatest achievement in human history. The spacesuit he wore, the lower portion of which is pictured, is on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC
A man stands in the doorway of Cologne Cathedral, casting one final glance back. The photo is in black and white—not for style, but for sentiment. It was a quiet moment I captured without knowing how deeply it would resonate with me later.
Today, we say goodbye to my mother-in-law. This image has become a symbol of farewell: the step outward, the pause, the backward glance—and then the moving on. In sorrow, but also in gratitude.

Ein Mann steht in der Tür des Kölner Doms und wirft einen letzten Blick zurück. Das Bild ist in Schwarzweiß – nicht aus Stil, sondern aus Gefühl. Es war ein stiller Moment, den ich festgehalten habe, ohne zu wissen, wie sehr er mich später begleiten würde.
Heute verabschieden wir meine Schwiegermutter.
Dieses Foto ist für mich ein Symbol des Abschieds: der Schritt hinaus, das Zögern, das Zurückblicken – und dann das Weitergehen. In Trauer, aber auch in Dankbarkeit.

His name is Geoff Roach. He's one of the last lost poets of North-America, think of a mix between Jim Morrison and Jerry Garcia. If anyone knows where he is now, please let me know!
The iconic ship from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. The ship was designed with the most realistic looking spacecraft in mind, and it addresses all the the things that accompany space flight. Expect better pics in about two weeks, but at the moment I'm heading for Maine for vacation.
This powerful political message was found on a wall in Cheltenham. I would love to hear anyone's opinion on this graffiti.
Back in Auckland... but please allow me to post more of my holiday photos.
Thanks everyone! Happy weekend!
It would be remiss not to include a few New Zealand sheep. These are grazing in the caldera of One Tree Hill, with the Central Business District of Auckland in the background. One Tree Hill, an old dome volcano is a landmark in Auckland, sacred to the Maori, and also the subject of U2's song of the same title.
It has many trees.
It was a thrilling experience to witness and photograph the aurora borealis here in the Southern Eifel. I had been eagerly awaiting an event like this for 20 years, having previously had the pleasure of seeing the Northern Lights back in the winter of 2003—albeit only for a very brief moment. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to photograph them back then, so hardly anyone really believed me :)
I chose the title for this image because, since the beginning of this year, the two trees that had served as my subjects so often over the past years have been removed.
One day I will walk out of Wild Arctic with more to show for than THIS. I just need...lots of expensive toys.
After dropping off six grain loads at Ardent Mills, the Pointe St-Charles switcher is leaving the East Side Canal Bank Spur with single car for O-I Canada and CN 4706 & CN 4707 for power.
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”

Every morning, I chop the ice in the local river so that the Heron's and Kingfisher can capture a meal or two. This Kingfisher bit off more than he could swallow.
While the image suffers from low light, I decided to post it for its' story-telling value.
A lone person walking up behind Morrisons Supermarket in Harrow On The Hill gives the LT Museums preserved 1938 Stock a sideways look as its signal checked outside the station. Next stop would be Neasden Depot and the end of public running for the 1938 on LT Metals for another year. It would return to Ealing depot later in the week via the Uxbridge Branch.
Having jumped on the Chiltern DMU in the previous photo I beat the '38 stock back to Harrow by a few minutes after it's forced 'reversal' to Rickmansworth. I then ran as fast as I could up to the main road bridge to snap the '38 stock as it came down to the ramp on the up Amersham line. The Uxbridge lines are on the left of the picture to fly under the Amersham/Chesham/Watford lines.
