People who know me a bit better also know that photography is my personal passion. Even provided it is not really my preferred genre, but I took an opportunity to improve my capabilities on landscape photography at a 1-day small-group workshop in the Black Forest, Germany. Together with a professional photographer we started in the darkness of the pre-sunrise morning, walking up the Herzogenhorn peak (where the photo above was shot). This was followed by additional locations around, the Feldsee (lake) and the Fahler Wasserfall (waterfall). Photography is my perfect way to clearing my head and resetting my brain. Looking to the world through a lens makes you being fully focused and concentrated. Photography allowed me to learn how different perspectives can be and how exciting it is to explore different ones.

Music was my first love … and I really enjoy playing it. As a young man I had been a quite active trumpet player. For the last ~20 years I switched to singing in a choir. I particularly enjoy doing music together with others, forming one orchestrated musical body, listening to each other, contributing to a unified sound, and – certainly – performing on stage. Plus, it is pure fun. You can listen to us on December 14th and 15th 2024 in Müllheim/Germany, and enjoy two fantastic pieces of music, the “Sunrise Mass” by Ola Gjeilo and the “Misatango” by Martin Palmeri … who I had the pleasure to meet and sing together with a couple of years ago. But this is another story. I am sharing some YouTube clips of our choir below. Curious if you can spot me. And looking forward seeing you at one of our next…

My wife and I have a new project. We are renovating a new home in the Black Forest. A truly lovely place to be. The woods around produce a lot of good air, oxygen and positive energy. Hiking trails are nearby. We instantly perceived a kind of ‘revitalization’ on the spot. And it is an area where other people go for vacation. OK, in all honesty, there is also a lot of work to be done as we are factually fundamentally renovating the house. On some days this might be more a challenge (esp. when it is about bureaucratic paper chase). On others it is absolutely fun planning how we are going to live and making it happen hands-on. And a great opportunity to get the brain freed from mental load and a more intellectual day-to-day…
