After all these panora­mas it’s time again for a good old JSOVT(MB), no? While I was restart­ing some impor­tant sim­u­la­tions at work this one week­end when they cut the power to the build­ing and all the com­put­ers shut off, Julia was just a tiny a bit bored, which she showed vividly by assum­ing her trade­marked …

Here’s another “easy” panorama (using the stitch­ing soft­ware in cruise con­trol). Dur­ing our vaca­tion in Italy I had meant to get up really early one of the days to shoot a sun­rise panorama. I knew the sun was gonna come up over the hills on the east­ern hori­zon, and the weather was just always nice. …

Here’s another panorama from my long, long panorama queue. This was shot on the same day as this pic­ture from JSOVT(MB), on our way back home on the other side of the Main, which led us over the Friedens­brücke. The weather was espe­cially drab that after­noon (the morn­ing was fine, you can just see the …

I haven’t posted a new panorama in a long while. Panora­mas have become too easy, I guess. If you take some care when shoot­ing (I usu­ally don’t use a tri­pod), any mediocre stitch­ing soft­ware can com­bine the pic­tures suf­fi­ciently well. It’s not a chal­lenge any­more. Well, a cou­ple of days ago I found my chal­lenge. …

A chest­nut. Found it in Brus­sels Park. I guess fall is here and win­ter is just around the cor­ner. This sum­mer was way too short any­way — just as the days are going to be for the next four months or so. Stu­pid days.

Saint Cather­ine — one of the many churches in Brus­sels in a highly advanced state of decay. This one was within walk­ing dis­tance of our hotel for the con­fer­ence, and there is really noth­ing note­wor­thy about it. This ver­torama has been stitched together from two land­scape shots. I used a dif­fer­ent process this time, result­ing …

I took quite a few pic­tures of Cici Sit­ting On Var­i­ous Things (Mostly Stairs) while we were in Brus­sels, and I don’t want to bore every­one to death with a never end­ing series of posts, so I com­bined the (sub­jec­tively) best of ‘em into this post… In the back­ground you can see the build­ing of …

Julia’s not happy. Not only is she suf­fer­ing from a cold — although a mild one — no, I dragged her out of the warm and com­fort­able house in this lousy weather to get some fresh air. Until about 10 min­utes before we left the apart­ment that day, the sun was out and about, but …

Some more pic­tures from our trip to Brus­sels (if any­one asks, we were there for the con­fer­ence). The top pic­ture is a peep­hole in a door of a build­ing at the Grand Place. The mid­dle shot shows what a Brus­sels metro sta­tion looks like on a Sun­day morn­ing — quite deserted even though that par­tic­u­lar …
