Last year, the waterfront project was still under construction (see Seattle Waterfront Park Project).
Now, it has been completed and is open to the public as the Seattle Overlook Walk, connecting the iconic Public Market with the Aquarium.

Seattle Overlook Walk 1

In the early morning, the fog drifts over the Puget Sound, creating a serene and mystical atmosphere.

Early mist at the backside of the Ocean Pavilion.
It looks stunning at night with the illuminated steps (check out the gallery at waterfrontseattle.org). In this panorama, however, it feels more like a foggy London crime scene from an Edgar Wallace movie.

Seattle Public Market

The Pike Place Market has been alive for over a century (since 1907) and has remained unchanged. Its resilience is evident in its ability to withstand the test of time, adapting to various economic and social changes while preserving its unique character and charm. Despite challenges such as modernization, economic fluctuations, and urban development, the market has continued to thrive, serving as a vibrant hub for local vendors and visitors alike.

Founded 4.4.1975

In 1998, I had the incredible opportunity to meet Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft.
Years later, I attended Bill Gates' 50th birthday party. The event was a celebration of his achievements and contributions to technology and philanthropy.
I have seen Steve Ballmer, former CEO of Microsoft, multiple times in Seattle. His energetic approach to leadership was always evident.
More recently, I have had the chance to see Satya Nadella, the current CEO of Microsoft, during Hackathon presentations. His commitment to fostering innovation within the company is truly inspiring.

Today in Redmond, I attended the Microsoft's 50th anniversary celebration. The event was quite spectacular!

The rest of the time is writing code, that is still evident while you are on your PC tasks and navigating to this page 👾🛸

Besser geht's nicht. Auch mit dem Fokus-Stacking.

Dieses Bild wurde aus zwei Aufnahmen erstellt, die aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln, Brennweiten und Entfernungen gemacht wurden.

Die Schritte mit PTGui sind einfach:

• automatisch Kontrollpunkte erstellen lassen, und alle Kontrollpunkte außerhalb des interessanten Bereiches (Tellers) entfernen
• ohne parameter a, b und c optimieren, also nur Blickwinkel und Gier-, Nick- und Rollwinkel, damit werden die verschiedenen Brennweiten automatisch erkannt und korrekt zusammengefügt

Die Bereiche in Fokus zur Verwendung grün malen (rote Bereiche dagegen werden ausgeschlossen):

Dadurch werden nur die jeweils scharf abgebildeten Bereiche verwendet:

Vor dem Teller

Alles vorbereitet. Fast zu ordentlich für etwas, das gleich im Topf verschwindet.

Gute Zutaten, kurz umgerührt. So beginnt Minestrone.

Alles ist drin. Jetzt wird aus Arbeit langsam Geschmack.
