These two pictures were taken during a trip in May to Alaska on a 50-passenger ship. These were taken on one of the few sunny days, as we entered Tracy Arm, near Juneau, one of the most beautiful fjords in Alaska.

I used my digital rig with Nikon Coolpix 700 with video downlink, lifted by a FlowForm 16 with fuzzy tail, just barely enough lift in the apparent wind of about 12 kt. This time my temperamental child worked right for 12 pictures!

Lighthouse on the "Dornbusch" For more than 100 years the famous landmark at the island Hiddensee is the Lighthouse at the north of the island. The "Leuchtfeuer Dornbusch" - this is the correct name - was build in the years 1887 / 1888 on a 72m high hill on the island. The original tower was a round building out of bricks an 28 m in size. But in time the building got cracks and so it got a jacket out of ferro-concrete.
