Dawn's early light

Yesterday morning I saw this lovely dawn through the window. The display of colours lasted only a few minutes as the sun shone in under the clouds. Just enough time to take a few pictures and relax and enjoy the show for a while.

Weddingparty

Was at a real traditional wedding party on the Polish countryside last weekend. This of course included a lot of dancing.

Electrode cleaning

One of the more boring things to do in electrochemistry is cleaning electrodes. With gold and glassy carbon electrode it means polishing a long long time. A platinum counter electrode is easier; you just burn off the dirt. Above cobalt, and below sodium from salt probably after touching it with the fingers.

Old gasholder

Opposite the street from my work is the old Warsaw gasworks - Gazownia Warszawska. In an overgrown corner of the area are two large gasholders - now in ruins - made from red bricks. They are just the coolest things. This picture was taken at sunset, adding an orange glow to the building.

The forest on Martinsberg

Lovely leafy forest on Martinsberg outside Vienna.

The old restaurant

Just outside Vienna there is a nice forest area around Martinsberg. There one can find the restaurant Waldschenke. It's a very cosy restaurant with a nice garden, that was too cold to use now, and rustique food from the neighbouring farms and wineyards.
The bonus picture is from the restaurant garden:
