Family members are once again massing in the town square with pitchforks to demand pictures of the kids. Below are a few cuts of film that I just had developed.

I'm experimenting with infra-red. Most of the black and white pictures are shot in the near IR which is why the trees look white. (pedigree for my remote sensing co-workers: 715nm cut-on, FWHM at 720 and 750nm).

Most of the pictures are from our weekend in Copenhagen last month. Click on the photo to view the slideshow.

Return

My repatriation is officially scheduled for 1 June 2011.

Yay.

End of summer catch up...

The Black Forest:
We caught a rare rain-free weekend in August for the Black Forest. It was stunning to walk through the woods and along the rivers near Forbach in the northern national park.
Highlights:
--Any time we go hiking with the Schmitserwitzes is a good time (and it wasn't even raining this trip).
--Going on a 1.5 kilometer Rodelbahn
--Black forest cake and ice cream
--visiting a glassblowing museum and having the kids take turns making vases
--driving what was apparently a goat track to get to the youth hostel. When they said it was in the woods, it was really in the woods
