Forgot The Title
Even Fresher Green
For my eyes, the green of young rice plants is the most beautiful I know, but beech leaves in spring surely come next. And, least I forgot, no touch of the saturation slider. I put an oath on it.

Since the beginning of this year, I have shrunken my photographic equipment quite a bit: from a DSLR with zooms down to a tiny m4/3 G3 with just three primes: 14mm, 20mm and 45mm. It resulted in less bulk and – a different way of seeing and framing. I like it a lot, and as…

Amelanchier And Grid
This plant, German Felsenbirne, amelanchier ovalis, could be what is called serviceberry in English. However I’ve never seen fruits on one of these bushes, so it might be an urban hybrid, bred for early and rich blossoming but not carrying fruits to avoid delivery of food to birds and rats.

In the last decades, Munich has built a well renowned museums quarter, which also houses a collection of American photographs well worth visiting – this Baldessari among them.

Salzburg’s Steingasse certainly is a road with many different faces, the modern architecture of yesterday just a small number of steps away from this abandoned antiques shop.

A Question Of Self-Esteem
“Art Dealers And Children First” – this begs for a number of questions to be asked, like “Is there a catastrophy ahead, Titanic-like, and the survival of Art Dealers is critical?”, or “Are Art Dealers more helpless than women?”, and “Will the Art Dealers take care of the children?”. I have to admit that I…

An answer to Martina’s comment on yesterday’s post “It’s the same everywhere in Germany, isn’t it?”: In urban areas, probably yes – even in Austria.Admittedly I like Bauhaus design very much, so I am somewhat ambivalent especially regarding the architecture in yesterday’s image. In dreary weather it looks depressing for me, whereas today’s Salzburg example…
