Posting this from Solingen, Germany :)

A few weeks ago while visiting Anchorage, Alaska, I discovered a new feature on my camera (long exposure) that allows me to take pictures of the night sky - this has been something that I had wanted to do ever since my first dorm room poster, a Sierra Club image of Star Trails... once in a while I get to travel to some cities that show the most amazing star displays at night - and I now have a way to capture that with my digital camera! Sometime in the next year I might upgrade my camera to get even better night pictures :)

In the meantime I also took some panorama pictures of the beautiful landscapes of Alaska:

Alaska Panorama #2 (View 1)
Alaska Panorama #2 (View 2)
Alaska Panorama #2 (View 3)

Enjoy!

... and right back to work! I am in the process of organizing all the pictures I took while in Germany, visiting Solingen (home of Wüsthof, Henckels, and Julia), Leverkusen (home of Bayer AG), Lübeck (home of the best Marzipan cake I have ever tasted), Seligenstadt/Hainburg (home of my grandfather, and Dusseldorf (where Julia and I met)...

(google map showing how much I traveled during this short visit)

The picture above was taken on Julia's birthday party last week (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!), and here are two new panorama pictures from Lübeck (my best ones so far):

Luebeck Panorama #1 (from the top of St. Petri's Church)
Luebeck Panorama #2 (along the canals surrounding Luebeck)

ok, it's time to go to bed now... despite my slight jet lag :P
