  • Greifensee, early morning

    This morning, we got up at around 5:30 and went to Greifensee, a beautiful area 10min away from us. One of the first things we saw was a beaver, swimming across the lake. In general, we were lucky, observed the mating dance of the crested grebe, and saw at least a lot of other action,…

  • Nuoler Ried, on a grey afternoon

    First time to the Nuoler Ried, and it was a forgettable, grey April afternoon. Not a lot to see there, and the light was terrible. But we were glad we went, as we saw for the first time a flock of around ten swans take flight and move straight towards us. A great experience, those…

  • Broncolor, Godox and Profoto

    My wife is a professional photographer, and for the last 3 years, she used Broncolor Siros 800L in the studio. Outside of those 2, we had 3 Godox speed lights. For those unfamiliar, the Siros 800L system is around 5000 CHF for a set of 2. So we are talking about serious gear there.Now both systems…

  • Katzensee, March 2021

    Spend 2 hours today walking around Katzensee. Due to the birds breeding, a lot of the area is off limits for walking, but still managed to have a nice enough time.

  • Säntis

    This weekend was nice. Sunny, more or less blue skies. So we decided to go and enjoy nature. This Sunday, we visited Säntis. It is a good hour away from Zurich. It was full, and I regreted not to have taken the FFP2 masks with me, as I just did not anticipate sitting in a…

  • Created my first set of Chaos Bikers for 40K

    They were old marine bikers that I had lying around and never painted, so I thought I convert them to 40K Chaos Space Marines, or at least paint them in the right fashion.

  • Pfäffikersee, Januar 2021

  • Colored lights and WH 40K fun

    Spend an hour or two playing with lights under the guidance and with the help of my wife. For a first attempt, I like the results.

  • Trumpistan is not giving up

    Senators in final bid to derail certification of Biden’s victory When read it the first time, the first sentence derailed my line of thought: “A group of US senators say they will refuse to certify Joe Biden’s election victory unless a commission is set up to investigate alleged voter fraud.” And I thought: good, they…
