		<title>Out and about on the coast in Devon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Burgh Island Cliffs west of ChallaboroughFor the first time ever my camera bag had gathered dust. My car hardly started last time I tried to move it. It was quite clearly time to head out for a little look round. So my trusty little runabout stuttered into action and I headed down to the Devon [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still there, but busy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick note to tell everyone that I&#8217;m still around, but haven&#8217;t really had time to post new pictures or write more blog posts. I&#8217;ve started a new life and that&#8217;s keeping me very busy.
In the mean time check out some older photos in my gallery or in my underwater portfolio.
See you around!

Curious cows
Taken on a climbing trip to the &#8220;Hohe Wand&#8221; in Lower Austria, this pictures of curious cows is one of favourite cow photos ever!
On any trip to the Austrian countryside one is bound to bump into cows, so it&#8217;s not surprising that I&#8217;ve taken quite a few photos of them over the years.

		<title>The president of the world</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a very rare turn of events I shall share my thoughts on politics with the digital ether.  Last night Obama delivered a land-mark speech to 200.000 spectators in Berlin and he wowed the European crowds as much as the American TV-viewers. What do I (as a European)  think of it?
Recently I came across a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just posted: photo album &#8216;Hiking to the Dürrenstein&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[SouthfaceA few weekends ago I packed my hiking boots, half a hundredweight of chocolate and as much photo gear as I was willing to carry to 1,878m above sea level.
The tour started in Lunz am See in Lower Austria at about 600m elevation. On the first day I only went as far as the Ybbstaler [...]]]></description>

Dealing with that particular bunch of photos has not been easy &#8211; the whole batch was so incoherent.

		<title>Just posted: photo album Ysperklamm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ysper ravineI have updated the Landscape &#38; Countryside section of my gallery with a new album of photos from hiking in Austria.
The short hike in glorious spring sunshine led to the ravine of the river Ysper in the northern Waldviertel (lit. wooded quarter) region in Lower Austria. The ravine, called Ysperklamm, is a spectacularly beautiful [...]]]></description>

		<title>New theory on evolution of deep diving in whales (New Scientist)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whales are generally classified in two groups &#8211; baleen and toothed whales &#8211; and both show adaptations that prevents the bends that would otherwise result after diving hundreds of metres deep.
While scientists used to believe that both groups evolved from a single deep-diving ancestor, a new theory proposed by Brian Beatty puts the idea forward [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mushrooms</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently came across a fascinating literary term &#8211; &#8220;mushroom talk&#8221; or &#8220;talking about mushrooms&#8221;. It refers to a passage in Tolstoy&#8217;s &#8220;Anna Karenina&#8221; where two characters go out picking mushrooms. It is Sergei and Varenka who are deeply and tragically secretly in love. And although Sergei would like to offer his hand in marriage, [...]]]></description>
