Utilities Corner
Update: I replaced the image with a newer version that I prepared for printing: keystoned horizontals, some vignetting to take emphasis from the corners. In my eyes it works even better.

Kingdom Of Heaven
The name of this village right outside of Salzburg is indeed “Himmelreich”, not to be translated other than “Kingdom Of Heaven”. And a true kingdom of consumer’s lust it is, with probably more square meters of shopping area than for housing!
The Lake Smiles, It Invites To Bathe
This is the first line of a poet of Friedrich von Schiller, one of Germany’s greatest poets, living from 1759 to 1805. Unfortunately I could not find a complete translation of the poem in the web, but I am sure it must be somewhere.
Too Late
As Cold As It Looks
The weather was friendly, however with gusts of cold, continental winds, the water magic blue-green, almost inviting. Yes. One person dared to swim, but only one. No wonder, the water was 13° C/55.6 °F
The Reasoning Of Mortals Is Worthless And Our Designs Are Likely To Fail
The Salzburg cathedral greets all the visitors with this banner, showing a sentence from the Holy Bible’s book of wisdom (9:14). I follow the anti-nuclear movement since 25+ years, but I can’t remember a bishop’s church publicly giving such a firm statement. A worthy cause – albeit not the strongest image – for my blog…
Rose Mural
Update: Replaced the image with a new jpg version from raw, where a tad Noise Ninja USM adds sharpness. I am still in the experimenting phase with the raw conversion from the LX3. And please remember that most of the images in this blog open in a larger version when you click on them.

More Square Architecture
Just opposite the New Spa Center is the Municipal Savings Bank, which throughout Bavaria, maybe even Germany, has a renommée for not always lucky architectonic choices.

Men At Maypole Work
While static subject matter is no challenge for a tiny camera, moving subject is. In order to avoid exceeding stress, I worked the camera at the set-up festival for the maypole in Grossgmain, an Austrian village in the neighborhood. Unless I’ve learned some more tricks, sceneries like that are challenging the photographer (aka me) more…
May Wallpapers
One of the reasons to enjoy life: It’s beautiful in my hometown. This image was taken on a stroll, barely 10 minutes from our flat. Photographically one could argue if there is enough detail in the shadows, but I decided against some technical surgeries for the simple reason that, observing the sky and the clouds,…
Keep Off The Biotope
Another signboard, this one for a less orderly reason.
It Was Forbidden
For sure, Germany doesn’t suffer from a scarcity of “Es ist verboten/It is forbidden” signs. Reassuring to see that even these decay, loose their strictness and their statement, and nothing remains than an empty frame.
