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.
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.
Colour explosion! Just south of Göttingen. A jaw-dropping sunset over a neat row of trees. © 2016, Fred S. Wouters
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
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
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
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

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
