About Travel Photography,
Colors of the World.
Manfred is creator of ThisFabTrek.com, travel photography, a travel blog and a photography blog (a journey from 2004 to 2013). 'I set out to see the colors of the world, always I try to capture the colors'.
Seeing, is understanding, so I report and photograph, but formost enjoy and live those different conceptions of life (all that TV [and the web] cannot give). I reject jealousy, animosity, bigotry. Be free!
The mind, when pondering at night and always asked those questions. What am I doing in corporate wonderland of bank, university, office or church? Who is the other animal asleep deep inside, the thinker, punk, creative, or Indian, vagabond and healer, maybe artist, writer, photographer, traveler, globetrotter? Oh God, dare you to think. When I saw the lies, gambles and manipulations I follow the old dream and set out for the journey of life lived, the journey to see the colors of the world.
During years on the road I have taken the turns as they came along, and realized one thing: Only such a small part of the planet can be explored and such a vast land and sea mass will always remain unknown, to me; many swamps, jungles, deserts and oceans will never be traveled. But then I am father of twin boys, Daniel and David, my most important, and I show them some of the wonders and colors out there.
ThisFabTrek, Photography and Journey, the Stories from the Road and Life around the World, stopped in August 2013 after more than 9 years, Love and Peace.

American vintage cars.
I am not so into cars! But there are these cars we spot once in a while when on the highway, old, vintage, American, chrome, being it an old Buick or Corvette, from the 60s or 70s, or earlier, I cannot even tell them apart, but then I still go, “Hey look, what a car?” So it happens while we drive from Oslo direction Stockholm. One, then there is another one, and another one and many more. Power Big Meet takes place in Västerås, “biggest gathering of American vintage cars in the world”, 17,000 or so, for 3 days. The boys and I are not far so we have a look!
Many come from afar, Norway, Estonia. A huge party! For many of the cars though it is more that they can take, many old engines heat up, “800 hp under the hood” tells me one proud tattoo, they go up in a huge cloud of white smoke, especially the cruising on Friday is hard, the lining up and going at 5k an hour speed, it can take the whole day. But as they say, only the strongest survive.
If you know the name and specs of particular cars, please send me an email. So I can get rid of my ignorant and stupid tags.
