Eine der abenteuerlichsten Straßen von ganz Bornholm: Der Røbrovej führt parallel zur östlichen Küstenstraße über diverse Buckel und Schluchten. Die zwei steilsten sind rechts und links mit den typischen Begrenzungssteinen versehen. Für Radrennfahrer ein Klacks, doch ich hab es noch nie da rauf geschafft, ohne abzusteigen und zu schieben.

Ertholmen is a place steeped in history, a handful of islands, two of which are inhabited. They are the easternmost outpost of Denmark. The first people to live on Ertholmen were soldiers, because Denmark needed a naval base and there was a natural harbour between Frederiksø and Christiansø. Today's ferry and lots of fishing boats and private yachts are still using it. Also a fort was built and extended over the years. In 1808, when Denmark was at war with England, an English armada tried to land but was driven away by cannon fire and bad weather. In the early 19th century there also was a political prison on Frederiksø for people who demanded more democracy. When the barracks were no longer needed, the Danish government allowed fishermen and former soldiers to live in the old buildings (the flats must be tiny but that's just a guess as I've never been inside one). Some painters and birdwatchers also came, and these days the islands are a tourist attraction. Most of the houses are Listed Buildings, and the post office sells special stamps. They've even got a small inn where you can book rooms for a longer stay, but most visitors just come for a "day" trip (three hours) by ferry from Gudhjem. In the summer season there are three trips to the islands daily but you have to leave on the same boat that took you there, otherwise everybody would want to leave on the last one. There's a museum in Lille Tarn, which opens during the summer months.

... I promise. But judge for yourselves, doesn't it look a million times nicer than the garbage container on the other picture? Seen in the schoolyard on a sunny afternoon in October.

When I saw these, I was intrigued by the colour scheme.

Here's my last fence picture for 2012, taken behind the Bornholm Art Museum. The fence encloses a meadow for Galloway cows. HFF everybody and a Happy New Year!

Fish crates, if anything, can be called my most favourite motives of all - please don't ask for an explanation. This one here was glowing in the afternoon sun at Snogebæk, just waiting for me to find it on the last day of my autumn break on Bornholm. It was leaning very prettily against an old shed painted in that typical Bornholm red, which in the old days was red paint mixed with the blood of oxen to achieve that particular dark, reddish-brown shade.

One stretch of the famous beaches in the south and southeast of Bornholm. They are sheltered by pine trees and have the finest sand in the world, except the South Pacific, maybe.

Here we go again! Our world turns into a riot of colour before turning black & white (read: mostly grey). Three cheers for maple trees!

Fiddling with SilverEfex. This is the Holga effect. Please compare it to the colour version and tell me which one you prefer.

In meiner Siedlung gibt es keine Bürgersteige, nur die Fahrbahn mit Abzugsgräben rechts und links sowie einer Grasfläche mit Büschen und Bäumen, die von den Anwohnern gepflegt wird. Wir kämpfen darum, dass dies so bleibt. In den 60 Jahren seit der Gründung der Lohkampsiedlung hat es nicht einen Verkehrsunfall gegeben! There are no pavements in my housing estate, just the road with ditches on either side as well as a grassy area with trees and bushes, which is being looked after by the residents. We're fighting to keep it like that. In the 60 years since the foundation of our Lohkamp estate there hasn't been a single traffic accident!

Es ist ein herrlicher Tag heute - kalt und sonnig. Nach dem Brötchenholen machte ich einen kleinen Umweg zum Krupundersee, um den ersten Frost aufs Bild zu bannen. It's a lovely day today - cold and sunny. After buying some bread rolls for breakfast I took a little detour to Lake Krupunder thinking of some "frosty" images to capture - and here they are.

Sonntagmorgen: Die Sonne kämpft sich durch den Nebel, ich stehe unter der Köhlbrandbrücke - und plötzlich taucht das Windrad aus dem Dunst auf. Sunday morning: The sun's fighting the fog, I'm standing underneath the Harbour Bridge (in Hamburg, not Sydney) - and suddenly that wind turbine pops out of the mist!
