Wassergspreng - tree portraits
Wassergspreng is part of Hinterbrühl, where I live (when I am not abroad). A hamlet with only about ten houses, but populated since 6000 years. Today it is a favored starting point for nature hikes in the surrounding Wienerwald. I took my Hasselblad 503CXi and a very sharp Carl Zeiss Planar CF 3.5/100 plus a light Gitzo tripod and started a short walk one this unusual warm winter afternoon, to portrait some trees.

Zielona Góra - some impressions
Zielona Góra has been known for its wines for centuries.The city is not so far from Gorzów, and on a Sunday in November I made a short trip to the former 'Grünberg'. Only few people in the streets, Sunday seems to be the day for family live at home. I visited a museum, shot photos, warmed myself in one of the few open café's and visited the famous Palmiarnia. And I did not taste the local wine, the promille limit is 0.0 for car drivers in Poland.
Otto Julius Bierbaum, from whom I own some wonderful books and read them with great joy many years ago, was born there in 1865, but I did not find any traces of his live in the city.
All photos with Hasselblad 205FCC, Distagon CFE 4.0/40 and Planar CFE 2.8/80.
In the Muzeum Ziemi Lubuskiej I found besides the historic collections and a wine museum an exhibition of the Polish artist Franciszek Starowieysk (1930-2009). He specialized in poster, drawing, painting, stage designing, and book illustration. Many of his impressing posters are in the exhibition and I think they are great.
All following photos by Samsung S6 edge smartphone. To avoid too much reflections, the poster shots are taken from a strong angle.
