Winter

Winter has been rather impressive this year. Also I have taken on a new job, or rather the first real job after University life. Along with it I have made the move from Heidelberg to Bühlertal which is about 100km to the south at the edge of the Black Forest.
This is what Heidelberg looked like most of December and January:

 

  

 Also some pictures from the black forest. Unfortunately it was quite misty so there are no long-distance shots. There are absolutely no hidden strings in this one:

 

 

And these are probably the biggest icicles I have ever set my eyes on:

  

 

Graduation

Having gotten through my studies rather quickly there has been a lot of procrastinating to catch up with. I seem to have let it out on this blog. Right after the vacation in the States I have been to Limerick for the conferring ceremonies. My parents and Claudia + her mom were also in on it. So here are some pictures of the graduate in the ceremonial robe:
