Making the best of dying house plants. This is one of the last flowers to fall off the same plant of the previous post. There is actually a lot of color left. I like the crumpled paper look of the flower. Being dead, it actually gains a lot of pretty structure. I used the last late summer sun for this photo. © 2016, Fred Wouters.

Orchidea(d)
Like a little Chinese lantern, this last withered and desiccated orchid hangs from its (equally dead) branch. I liked the composition with the curved and angled stem and the paper-like flower. © 2016, Fred Wouters.
Sunset with trees
Colour explosion! Just south of Göttingen. A jaw-dropping sunset over a neat row of trees. © 2016, Fred S. Wouters
Photographing wedding photography
Turning tables. Don’t ask me to take pictures at a wedding. But pictures of wedding pictures being taken is another matter. The museum park in Kassel must be a favourite wedding photography backdrop as we saw at least two parties in the short time we were there. This couple had just undergone a silly “jumping” routine and were now commandeered up the stairs for the n-th time. You can see the motivation sinking. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
Cornfield
Somewhere in Thuringia in Germany. The classical romantic picture of a lonely tree in a (partly harvested) cornfield under dramatic clouds. Picture was taken with the Primagon 35 mm vintage lens. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
Colors & shapes
Tiles on the walls of the “Stadthalle” in Göttingen. More or less the entire building is covered in these half-meter sized tiles. Quite a sight. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
Karate Nephew
My nephew is over for a visit. We created this photo together. He’s cracked a wall with a karate stomp. Or has he? © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
Breakfast in the atrium

Flower dispenser machine
This machine is from the times before you could buy flowers (‘Blumen’) on Sunday at the tank stop. The RotaFleur machine would take 5 Deutschmark to save your relationship. © 2016 Fred S. Wouters
