You might remember that I recently visited Milan for a second time and took some colorful (and some not so colorful) shots. Today I had some free time, so I sorted and edited the new images and I also expanded the Milan portfolio which I started in 2007.
Oh, and by the way, happy second birthday to this blog! 
Yesterday and today I had to take part at a conference where not much was going on, so during a moment of utter boredom I took out my little camera and took some shots of the ceiling lamps. There are only two different lamp designs, but after looking from all possible sides and angles, I came up with several different shots.
These kinds of images are my most favorite ones — strong abstract compositions consisting of only a few dominant lines.
The quality of the images is not that great, but that’s the best that the little Ixus could deliver at its 105 mm tele setting. And in this case I acutally care much more about the composition…

For those not familiar with northern Germany, this is the very often photographed light-house of Westerhever. Interestingly, virtually all of the images are taken during good weather.
