Part 2 from 4: All photos show locations from Sofia, the black sea coast, Gabarevo (a small village from central Bulgaria) and landscapes along the railway tracks. In the next two postings I’ll show some of my plein air paintings.

Some photos from my last summer trip to Bulgaria. The bulgarian trains are perfect for making landscape photos, the trains are slow, you can open every window, sometimes you can’t close a door – perfect conditions.

May be I should try to paint on bigger sizes, like 40x50cm till 60cm. The only problem is the wind and later the storage and transportation. With a small car it could be tricky.

Meanwhile I could say: »Same procedure as every year«. The last week from June 2011, I spent a few days on Rügen. The weather was almost perfect, but I forgot my two reds. First I thought about using a limmited palette, but I wasn’t in the mood. So I started to look for an art shop on this island. But I had a presentiment, that Rügen doesn’t have any art shops, and it was almost true. Almost, because I found in Binz a small shop with art supplies.

We visited the Monfragüe National Park – may be the most well known birding spot in Extremadura. The question there is: How much did you see, and not – what did you see.
