** Real Life

|
|

|
Away from my desk I loosely follow some hobbies.
|

|
On one hand I like to read books of various kinds, including crime novels and science fiction / fantasy stuff but also some technical books.
|
||||||
|
On the other hand I like visiting mother nature either for cycling, hiking or photographing.
