Bavarian Alps

Dear Friends
I was disappointed last Monday 25/04/2016 about my service holiday at  Berg am Starnberger See near Munich, because of the bad spring weather ( = winter - see the images) in Munich. Not having the choice, I had to go anyway. The place on the bord of the Starnberger Lake, warm and peaceful in spring and sommer, appeared cold and desolated. But, nevertheless, it allowed me to discover (see the images) the Bavarian Prealps and the Alps . In the past, I already remarked them from Munich, but I did not payed too much attention. The vision, not always clear, allowed me to spot, but not to identify, some Bavarian glaciers in danger of extinction, immersed in a nature still awaiting a good time to awaken.

144 APS

Dear Friends
I ensure you that it is a pleasure, notwithstanding the sad, snowly weather on Munich, to remain confortable and safely sit into my room, thinking to our Earth that receives the visit of the long time attended daytime APS 144 or April Piscids meteor shower . EARS provides us with the electromagnetic representation (see the images) of the burning kisses exchanged between APS 144 and our athmosphere and tell us that, at the moment, it is not the case to worry.

TS-01 first light - Moon

Dear Friends
it was one of my dreams to put again back into service the 500 mm lens of my collection of old Canon FD lensesTS-01 finally is the right solution for that and just yesterday evening, clear sky and favourable Moon allowed TS-01 to receive its first Astro light. Notwithstanding the absence of a finder lens, the aiming to the Moon was not too difficult and the imaging quite easy (forget the scale in the images valid for microscopy). Black, oval Mare Crisium , Tycho with shining rays, Aristarcus white in the black and Copernicus  just barely visible, all were there for welcoming TS-01 and satisfy my dream. Any comment from your side is welcomed.

Leica

Dear Friends
announced by our Alexander, Open Eyes (Augen Auf) at the Cultural Foundation (Kulturstiftung) of the German  Versicherungskammer Bayern conjugates together Leica and the image artists that fall in love of it. Interestingly, few colour images and a lot of b/w images which better express the dramaticity of certain situations (see the images). Any comment from your side is welcomed.
