We have an extremely rare period of almost summer-like weather here in mid-October. So I biked to Lake Ammersee. Unfortunately, slightly too cold already for a swim. But still, I enjoyed my trip and hung

Ich hab letzten Monat bei meinem Trip nach Berlin auch eher ruhigerere Areale erkundet. Hier ist ein Brunnen in der Abendsonne. Aus dieser Perspektive sieht das monumentale Sowjetische Ehrenmal im Treptower

[DE] Hab mir (seit langem!) ein neues Bike zugelegt, und schon nach dem ersten Tag die erste Brute-Force-Attacke anscheinend. Ich war's nich, ich schwör! Ich hatte es am Bahnhof abgestellt für einige (Nacht-)

At a stroll around my area yesterday evening I encountered this nice pond that is declared as for fishing only. Fishermen are first class citizen here, and you're strictly forbidden to chase away their

As opposed to some certain other congresses, at an event in Munich the exhibition pieces are of course orderly labeled and consecutively numbered. "The Builders and the Butchers" would indeed

We had one single sunny day yesterday amidst cold and rainy April weather, so I had to catch some sun and explore the surrounding moorland. Also water, creek, trees, sun, meadows, heathland. Shot in spring

As I had announced it here earlier, I went to a great show that took place here in Munich, and experienced the phenomenal post-rock/-metal formation Russian Circles from Chicago. But first things first,

It's nice that we had almost summer-like temperatures over the last few days, so I could stroll along the river and even get some tan. (For full size, usually 5312 x 2988 pixels, just click a picture,
