Please Hold The Line

  This week Tina asked us to share some of the leading lines we’ve captured for the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge! Those of you who’ve been here around for some time, know that I’m a sucker for long views in photography, up to a point where I begin to ask myself if my pics don’t start

Train Stations of Berlin: Hermannplatz

  Here comes the second installment of my new blog series – train stations of Berlin! (Click here for the first one.) Hermannplatz is one of the busiest train stations in Berlin.

Ghostly Ruins

  I started this painting months ago and let it lying around in order to do other things instead. Sometimes it is like that with a painting. It kind of needs time to incubate. Today however I finally finished it, my Ghostly Ruins! Hope you like it!

Sepia Sunday – Winged Bull
