Hi,

After my last post end of January 2020 it got very quiet here. Let me give you an update what happened.

Beginning of March, Nike and I flew to Lanzarote, Canary Islands for another dog, cats and house sitting gig at our friends house. Originally we planned to come back on March 31st, but we got caught in the spanish lockdown starting March 14th. After some ok/nok/ok … our return flight got canceled by Condor.

Now we had to decide to stay or use one of the rerouted emergency return flights via Gran Canaria, Madrid or/and Barcelona to Frankfurt or …. As another friend offered us to stay in his empty house we decided to wait-and-see. The strict Spanish full lockdown lasted for 50 days, but we had a nice garden and one of the cats joined us at the new house. In June the restriction got slowly lifted and we could start to walk & drive around or go the the beach. On July 13, we returned with one of the first TUI flights directly from Lanzarote to Munich.

After cleaning up the large backlog of things-to-do, I restarted my web design activity mid of August. As I wanted to learn more about a full cloud-based setup I’ve rented a V-Server at Strato.de and build another web site from scratch. The result is www.dirschedl.de, my web technology playground. There you will find more information about the web technology I use and about my learning experience as I move on.

For the time being, I plan to focus this website dirschedl.info on photography related topics and dirschedl.de on web technology in general. Lessons I learn, will be applied on both website over time. Let’s see.

Best regards and stay safe

We’ve just finished our first photobook with pictures from our trip to Mongolia in August 2019. We hope it gives you a first impression of the many experiences we had and the very nice people we’ve met.

The link to the PDF file viewer is on the Mongolia 2019 – Photobook page or you can open it directly here.

We’re back from Mongolia

We’re back from our 30 day trip to Mongolia. What a great experience and thousands of impressive pictures.

For our original itinerary see our Mongolia 2019 page.

During the trip, I used the polarsteps mobile app to quickly document our daily experiences together with some mobile phone pictures. See the private link polarsteps.com. Great service, highly recommended.

Now the hard work begins. Sorting/evaluating all the pictures and processing the good ones. This will take us some time. Stay tuned, there’s a lot to see.

Little bit quiet here?

During the last weeks, I was a really busy to plan (and re-plan) our next trip. It will be very interesting, different and might include some challenges …

To protect our home and privacy (“you never know..), I will not disclose more details publicly on this site till we are back. If you are interested to get some updates before and during our trip, just drop me a short email to fritz@dirschedl.de, and I will send you a private link.

Best regards

Pictures resized

I’ve just resized all pictures to max. 1500×1000 from 1800×1200. Let’s see how this improves the start time of the light box in the galleries.

Best regards
Fritz

PS: the light box is the view you’ve get after clicking on one of the thumbnail images. It seems to preload (all?) pictures in the gallery, which takes some time if you’re on an slow/mobile connection.

Croatia Photography Travel

Croatia 2014 added

In May 2014, Nike and I traveled to Croatia. After visiting the town Pula on the peninsula Istria, we moved on the islands of Cres and Lošinj, where we found the beautiful small hotel Manora in Nerezine.

Nerezine is a small village in the middle of the two connected islands. It is an excellent starting point to visit Cres in the North and Lošinj in the South. As we like the nice people, beautiful landscape, relaxed atmosphere and excellent food, we returned each September in 2014 – 2018. Getting there after feels like coming home.
