Unexpected Gift – Magnum at Westlicht
Westlicht Gallery, Vienna A business trip led me to Vienna, Austria, for the last two days. Free times slices are usually rare, but I was lucky and found the Westlicht Gallery in Vienna still open after arrival of the train. And even better was the “Magnum 1948 – 1987” exhibition, giving me opportunity to see…
Late – January Wallpaper
I know, it’s mid of the month, so maybe there’s not too much need any more for a wallpaper. But then, it took me a while to decide if I like this picture. The power of the red writing in the end made it for me, and I use it as a kind of self-motivation…

Due to conjugal obligations in the form of urgent website management tasks for my significant other, text is an overly scarce ressource at the moment. But I am sure you can manage without.
James Bond Was Here
Waiting
The contrast between the heavy concrete beams and the diminuitive frame of the waiting person made me raise the camera to the eye. Otherwise it was cold enough to seek shelter in the subway staircase until the bus finally arrived.
Behind The Synagogue
Whenever I am in this part of Munich and have some free minutes, I pass by the new synagogue, and in a way I can’t explain this place and setting rewards me with images, some of them here on the blog. The building in the background is the Jewish Cultural Center of Munich, the small…
My Kind Of Office
An office space with continuous Segafredo flow – what a treat! Reality is less attractive, as the word ‘segalicious’ has found its way into the Austrian language (at least the part that is used by the youth). The predecessor of this location did wear the name ‘Zebra’ – much too old-fashioned for today’s bars and…
Keep The Exit Clear
Busy with kids and friends last night (and preparations in the hours before) I completely forgot to make even a single one new year’s resolution. Not that I would have kept too many in the years before, but forgetting even to make one was new for me. But one thought had occurred to me the…

Frohe Weihnachten
There’s still enough christmas decoration in the shops, with the shop owners being busy to replace it for carneval items to keep business running.
Christmas Salute
Tradition has it that on Christmas Eve, the first christmas holiday, new year’s evening and new year’s day itself the self-appointed royalist mountaineering riflemen vulgo “Gebirgsschützen” fire salute rounds (“Böller”) from special ultralarge calibre pistols called “Stutzen”. As so many traditions this one too most probably has its origins in pagan times, when the ghosts…
Happy Christmas And Peace To All Mankind
My sincerest wishes for a thoroughly Happy Christmas are with all of you, dear readers, and I connect with them the hope for a more peaceful future. The last weeks, days, were filled with too many news of bloodshed, atrocities, cruelties, murderous attempts, so that it’s difficult to remember the bright and hopeful days we…
