For my dive trip to Bali I thought it would be cool to give underwater photography a go and decided to buy some equipment. The results you can find in the gallery.

I really enjoyed making pictures underwater, and although it was a bit of a challenge working out the best settings, it was truly relaxing. I’m looking forward to the next trip!

I’m still processing all the pictures I took in Cuba and it will probably still take a while so thought I give you already one to get into the Cuba mood.

Today I finished processing the pictures I made in Hong Kong. You can find them in the Hong Kong album in the gallery section.
Hint: you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to go to the next/previous picture.

Sunday went for a nice hike. Here some pano’s

I went to another meeting of the Baselphotoclub. This time we took the train to Dornach to have a look at the very impressive Goetheanum. There were some new/other people and some familiar faces, it stayed dry, we had to run for the train back and had a (or two) beer when we were back in Basel so I think a nice evening.

Last Friday I went to a meeting of the Baselphotoclub. I found this club through the englishforum.ch and thought it would be cool to get out a bit, and use my camera again. I think it was a cool meeting, we ended up walking around Basel a bit, especially around the Wettsteinbrücke and then some of us got thirsty and went for a beer. I added the pics to the gallery again! (but here also an impression)

Last night I woke up around 3.40 because my bed was shaking. Now is my bed not that stable so it does move when you turn around, but this felt a bit different. It couldn’t have been one of my housemates pulling a prank because they were not at home, so.. I thought.. it must have been an earthquake then and as I saw this morning I was right:
German original version:  News item from SF
Translated version by Google Translate(to English) News item from SF

The earthquake originated in Germany and was noticable throughout Switzerland. Ok, off to work!

Today I got back from work and thought, hey.. I really should start running again! Last time was more than a month ago (and still in Eindhoven). I had a look on Google maps but couldn’t really find something interesting so just jumped in my running outfit and started. To not get not too enthusiastic after such a while of doing nothing I thought 5km would be nice and knew which round would be this distance(give or take). The sun was shining, and there was a nice breeze so perfect weather.

This is the round I did: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=2756295

While enjoying the very nice weather here during the easter weekend I captured some (I’m sure there will be more) details of Basel. These are things that caught my attention while walking through the quiet streets of Basel.
