Cannon Beach is one of Oregon’s most popular tourist destinations. At least in the summer and when the weather is mild. As soon as I saw the iconic haystack rocks in other people’s images, I knew that we just had to check it out. Especially since Microsoft uses it as one of their default background pictures (Have you ever noticed? There are some great Milky Way samples, too, as I found out the other day). Read More »
Today I got to ride the MTA Nostalgia Train when it was departing on its last run for the season. Unlike in the previous years, both Christmas and NYE fall on a Sunday this year. Read More »

After the epic excursion to Jokulsarlon and Crystal Beach, it was time for further adventures. Our next stop was the first (and only) ice cave we were to see on this tour.Read More »
This year marked a great comeback to my personal blog German-American Abroad. While I had somehow neglected writing in 2014 and couldn’t find much time for it in 2013, either, this year of 2015 was different in many ways. It stands for the year of a few blogging challenges (such as writing for 30 continuous days) and other great occurrences which animated me to simply sit down and write my heart out without too many regrets.Read More »
This fall has been an incredible time. It’s been perhaps one of the most intense past three months I could have ever imagined. Since becoming half-sedentary, starting a new job, and experiencing lots of other things along the way, I’ve been through a turmoil of emotions and reality checks. While most of the year has been about a new awakening, dreaming many dreams, and accomplishing a lot of travel, this time of year was meant to draw me towards the beauty and calm of things here in New York. I want to share so much with you but I see that it cannot be done all at once. There are so many posts waiting, so many thoughts Read More »
The perhaps most popular photography exhibition in Dumbo/ Brooklyn has opened its gates once again in 2015. The infamous Photoville started this past Thursday and is running until the end of this Read More »
Twice a year an occurrence happens here in New York. It’s so magical and fast, that sometimes it’s incredibly easy to just walk past it and not pay attention to it. Manhattanhenge occurs 3 weeks before and after the summer Read More »
After cleaning up this blog and deleting a few unnecessary pages, I’ve come across my outdated contact and online presence page (see the old version here and here). I’ve therefore decided to keep you and anyone else of significance plus the entire world wide web in the loop about my most current whereabouts, moods, and Read More »
Today I wanted to talk about one of the things I’ve been most passionate about this entire week (and also the past 1 ½ years): Blue hour! Or more so: Blue Hour Photography and Long Exposure Photography.
Yesterday I got to check out a few spots, some of which I usually never go to anymore. Feeling up for a change, I strolled from Grand Central past 5th Avenue and saw the glorious New York Public Library with its fancy lions winking at me. “Why not give it a try?” I thought and entered the building.
