Porous layers of Italy...

D800 with AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8: 1/80 sec af f/4.5, 0 EV, ISO 200, 28mm OMG - I have not posted on my blog for over a month. Starting up in a new position as CEO for Danimex Communication is occupying the main part of my waking hours. I'm spending my time between three homes - my work home in Sønderborg , my week-end home in Lyngby and my holiday home near Acqui Terme in Piedmont, Italy.  In between I'm traveling to interested places - Sorrento , Italy - Dubai , UAE - Johannesburg , South Africa - in March alone. It's a good time to get engulfed in my hobby - photography. D800 with AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8: 1/125 sec af f/7.1, 0 EV, ISO 400, 66mm The photos here are not a visual metaphor representing my three homes :-) Not far from my home in Italy the old porous layers of compressed clay, limestone, chalk and other elements are visible just along side the old dirt road. Black and white is the best way to capture this display of natures fragility. D800 with AF-

Bad Gastein

The Nikon D800 is an amazing camera.

Mount Vesuvius

It has been a while since my last post. The reason is that I have started as CEO at Danimex Communication A/S in the wonderful city Sønderborg (where I was born). Last week a small delegation from our company visited the Italian city Sorrento to participate in a "Executive Partner Conference" by Motorola. Visiting Sorrento was a first for me and unfortunately there was not time during our 3 day stay to conduct a photo walk. More or less the only photo I managed was this shot from my hotel balcony, where I had a direct view across the Bay of Naples to the Mount Vesuvius . Equipment: Nikon D3200 with AF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED Exposure: 1/400 sec at f/7.1, 0 EV, ISO 100, 80mm - (file size: 15MB)

Würzburg

When we drove back to Denmark from our summer home in Piemont, Italy, we decided to break the trip in two and stay over in Würzburg . We found a lovely little hotel a couple of hundred meters from the Old Main Bridge to the old city centre. As you can see on the first photo its a gorgeous old bridge and many locals was having a glas of wine various places in the bridge. In photo two you can see the Fortress Marienberg. Next year we will play our stay over so we get enough time to take a closer look at this lovely city. The following text is from Wikipedia: On 16 March 1945, about 90% of the city full of civilians was destroyed in 17 minutes by 225 British Lancaster bombers during a  World War II  air raid. All of the city's churches, cathedrals, and other monuments were heavily damaged or destroyed. The city center, which dated from medieval times, was totally destroyed in a  firestorm  in which 5,000 people perished. Over the next 20 years, the buildings of historical
