I am wondering, why people are so fascinated to dress up themselves - one time a year. They want to be someone else? They want to drink as much as they can?

Drinking coffee

2007-01-17T04:59:00.000-08:00

Hm, I am enjoying coffee after lunch everyday . . . .

Springtime again

2006-04-26T07:30:00.000-07:00

Hey, this http://fbttage.twoday.net/stories/1878837 is the target of the long winter, ins't it?

Springtime (one more attempt)

2006-04-11T14:14:00.000-07:00

Springtime. So what? We have snow in Munich and in black forest on the hills. I do not like it.

Let's go

2006-03-25T10:50:00.000-08:00

Don't wait for better times . . . .

Warte nicht auf bessre Zeiten!

The river Elz

2006-03-11T02:29:00.000-08:00

I took a little walk to get books from a customer - and made this picture. There are only some little corrections - similar to photos, which were developed in the old fashioned way. Enjoy!

Have a look on this link

2006-03-04T13:00:00.000-08:00

Have a look on my website with the last pictures of springtime in Kollnau :-)

Springtime

2006-03-01T14:41:00.000-08:00

The winter went back today, again. In want the springtime. I want to sit outside, drinking coffee . . .
But I slipped with my car today ;-(

Bridge

2006-02-21T13:52:00.000-08:00

Bridge over troubled water? Into a better future? To springtime? Or what?
Nothing like that. It is just a nice view over a bridge, which crosses a highway and a river . . . .

Winter

2006-02-12T00:56:00.000-08:00

The winter went back to Waldkirch. I would like the springtime - sitting outside, have some coffee etc. But I have to cure my cold :-(

Brussels

2006-02-07T01:03:00.000-08:00

This was my only sightseeing trip in Brussels last week.

Night in Kollnau

2006-01-21T14:55:00.000-08:00

Night in Tunesia? No, sorry. What's that? It is Kollnau, tonight. There is a little rain, the ambulance went along, and the driver ignored the red light. The guns in the shop across the street are arrested behind bars. (Oh, sorry: Kollnau is a part of Waldkirch, where I am living).

This winter

2006-01-11T06:12:00.000-08:00

This is winter! F . . . cold, nice. I was on tour in Freiburg today.

2005 is going

2005-12-23T07:41:00.000-08:00

Ok,
Tsunami, War in Terrorism, Katrina - what a year! The question is: Is there enough hope for the future? I Think: Yes. A laughter, a letter, a good friend - I do not need more for my life. Thank you all for this year, and let's go on.

Freiburg, last week

2005-12-03T07:06:00.000-08:00

Last week I took this . . . .

Go home (My Nighthawks)

2005-11-26T12:26:00.000-08:00

Nach langer Arbeit ging ich nach hause. Es war kalt, sehr kalt. Im Café war noch Licht.

I went home after long work. It was cold, very cold. There were people in the cafe at the corner . . .

Variation (III)

2005-11-16T00:31:00.000-08:00

The question is: Will you take the stairs down or is this a chance, to go on the top?

Last Exit

2005-11-13T09:16:00.000-08:00

Last Exit Waldkirch . . . .

Variation (II)

2005-11-08T09:10:00.000-08:00

I walked home and found this . . . .

Hi, there . . .

2005-10-30T03:51:00.000-08:00

I found this puppet in a theatre . . .

The way

2005-10-25T02:45:00.000-07:00

Sitting on the bench, waiting for my daughter. But what's the deeper meaning? Don't know . . .

Point of view

2005-10-23T02:09:00.000-07:00

Shadows in the evenning . . . .

The summer is gone

2005-10-19T00:46:00.000-07:00

What's that? The summer has gone. The leaves fall down . . . And there will be no more roses, only these (not real, it's paper, I found it in my English school)

nature takes back

2005-10-12T09:05:00.000-07:00

Don't put any waste at this place . . . . .

Variation (I)

2005-10-12T08:36:00.000-07:00

Nothing really matters . . . . .

Sunset, again

2005-10-10T03:26:00.000-07:00

It is a great challenge doing these pictures . . . .

Waldkirch

2005-10-08T11:42:00.000-07:00

Hmmmmmmmm?

The sky

2005-10-03T14:41:00.000-07:00

No, this is not "The sky over Berlin" (title of a famous film), it is only our valley . . .

Old times

2005-10-01T08:35:00.000-07:00

What, would you think, is this? You do not know?
Yes: It is a part of one streetcar of Freiburg - one of the oldest.

Waldkirch

2005-09-29T05:36:00.000-07:00

Hi you all,
this is nothing phaenomenal, only a view over Waldkirch to the old castle, called "Kastelburg."

Nichts ist wirklich - wirklich ist nichts

2005-09-21T01:40:00.000-07:00

Nothing is real, nothing is, as you see it . . .

Portland/OR

2005-09-13T05:27:00.000-07:00

This is only one of a couple hundred pictures. I've been in Portland, meeting some of you.

Waiting for the moment

2005-08-20T01:06:00.000-07:00

I'm preparing my luggage, going away for three weeks : -)

Tonight

2005-08-12T12:53:00.000-07:00

Tonight, in Freiburg, on the way back home . . .

Freiburg, today

2005-08-10T09:45:00.000-07:00

Somebody wished more of thes pictures. :-)
Ok. Here are more, made with the assistance of my daughter:

Puppets

2005-08-06T10:11:00.000-07:00

As you can see, I always meet my special motives . . . .

The sun

2005-08-03T14:58:00.000-07:00

The fresh picture tonight . . . .

Summer

2005-08-02T06:03:00.000-07:00

This is one of my first self-breed tomatoes on my balcony. There grew a little forest . . . .

Something left over

2005-07-27T14:03:00.000-07:00

No train, no streetcar has been seen here . . .

war on terrorism

2005-07-25T14:37:00.000-07:00

Nicht die Konfrontation, nur die Verständigung hat Zukunft, glaube ich. "Wir haben die Erfahrung gemacht, dass Raketen nur weitere Raketen gebären - weiter nichts", sagte der damalige leitende Bischof der evangelischen Kirche in der DDR während der Feiern zum Lutherjahr. Das gilt noch immer.

Not konfrontation, only understandig has future. "We've made the experience, that missiles have borne only new missiles", said the leading protestant bisho pof East Germany during the official celebrations of Martin Luher in the eighties. This is right until today.

Summer

2005-07-22T14:33:00.000-07:00

You cannot ask me for the name of this flower, espacially in English - it's nice, isn't it?

Stop and go

2005-07-21T01:16:00.000-07:00

I crossed Freiburg yesterday on my way back from Munich. Refresh memories? No: I had to work there . . .

Moments

2005-07-17T13:44:00.000-07:00

Today I met in Emmendingen www.emmendingen.de these special friends of mine . . . .

Black forest, Germany

2005-07-16T05:52:00.000-07:00

Oh, these beautiful landscape. It is nice, although the sky ins't really blue . . . . . :-)

Sunday

2005-07-10T15:01:00.000-07:00

Future? I think, for some people are the little moments of life - a smile, an embrace, the candle, the friendly word - the real essence of life - or, if you want, one of the important sources of their live.

Back . . .

2005-07-10T03:47:00.000-07:00

This little car returned to me after one month in the factory. They changed the engine. Now I have my own attendant for my work again.

summer in the city

2005-07-04T08:48:00.000-07:00

It's raining again . . .

The sun will shining in your backdoor

2005-07-04T00:31:00.000-07:00

Yesterday . . . .

What do you feel on this beautiful sunset? I remember on the song of
Nina Simone with the words "The sun will shinin' in your backdoor someday . . ."

Unsere Gäste, our guests (update)

2005-07-02T05:20:00.000-07:00

These tomtits choosed our balcony some years ago. They make conferences the whole day ...

No advertising

2005-07-01T15:34:00.000-07:00

Like home?

My neighbour

2005-07-01T03:43:00.000-07:00

Come and see - is there something to eat?

2005-06-29T08:25:00.000-07:00

Hi,
jemand sagte gestern was von den "kalten Gesichtern" überall. Was für ein Ausdruck, so schnell kam es . . . .
