The Nuclear Snake Did Bite
twentyfive years back for the first time earnestly in Tchernobyl, as Three Mile Islands before had only been a feign attack from which nobody had wanted to learn. My deepest sympathy is with all the innocent victims of human hybris.
Wood In Front Of The Cabin
The title of this post actually is a a Bavarian pun: “she has wood in front of the cabin” is the local way of describing a well endowed lady. But so much literal wood in front of a farm house I haven’t seen before. But maybe in Kansas…

Chairs – for Ai Weiwei
At the 2007 Documenta in Kassel, the Chinese Artist Ai Weiwei (here is a clip from his TED talk) showed a project called “Fairytale”. Part of this project was not only freedom of travel for 1001 “ordinary Chinese”, whom he had invited to visit Documenta, but also 1001 old Chinese chairs, which first served as…

Evening In The City
Westend, Munich I have adapted Carl Weese’s style of image captions for the time being. My flu/pollinosis/work overloaded head doesn’t allow for elaborated sentences in the evening when I’ve time for the blog. And besides, there isn’t so much to say for the moment 🙂

Pouring Over Tax Forms
Dedicated to all my friends in the U.S. of A., (especially Tyler Monson of O.R.A. and Mike Johnston of The Online Photographer, the latter even half-heartedly interrupting blogging for this occasion), sweating now filling out their tax forms. 1981, after having finished my service in the German army, I started for a lengthy trip through…
City Tree VI
Trapped between two house, the still winterly-bare tree is more like a skeleton, branches and twigs setting irregular counterpoints against the rectangularity of the architectural elements. In two weeks times, the shapes will be much more soothing, the leaves forming green shields for the people on the balconies.
Workshop And Trees
Since quite some time I have been discontent with my blog theme. One could image, that among the ‘zillion of wordpress themes on the web, there should be one for me, too. Alas, if there is, I didn’t find it. So I took an evolutionary step forward from my old theme, tried to enhance readability…
Dialogue Of Shadows
Taking on the topic of trees in the city, these “talking” shadows caught my eye. I was not aware about the extent to which a self-set theme can intensify seeing. Ok, I was interested in trees before, also in that conflict area of nature in the city, so I did not have to go out…
City Trees V
These trees grow next to one of the busiest streets in Munich, they must be of real strong constitution. That the exhaust gases of the cars also contain nutrients for plants is a theoretical advantage, lack of root space in the soil and de-icing salt in the winter will more than compensate for this.
