Hitler in Prague

A mask of that filthy rat – found in Prague 2013.

Thirty Years’ War Archeology Picture

This one’s from an excellent exhibition about life during the Thirty Years’ War. What a suffering that must have been. The creasing in the enamel is caused by underfeeding and other horrible things.

Sex Sleep Eat Drink Dream

In Germany 2009.

Skiing in the Mist

I love skiing and I grew up in Munich where the closest skiing slopes are 30 mins away. Hence I spent some time on these boards. This pictures was taken 2010 in the Bavarian Alps, when there was quite some mist when getting to lower regions.

Bavarian Restaurant

That one was taken in Regensburg, Germany. It is indeed a rather lovely place – located at the river Danube.

Eating Songbirds

In 2008 I was forced to eat fried songbirds in Italy. Not nice taste-wise and neither aesthetically.

The End of the 20th Century

The end of the 20th century is an installation by Joseph Beuys. It consists of large, oblong pieces of basalt, all of which have a conical hole bored into them at one end. In these holes smaller cones of rock have been placed, lined with clay and felt. The rocks evoke bones or corpses, and [...]

Killed By Arrows

Found this catholic statue in Salzburg, Vienna. Happy suffering Catholics!

Interesting Plant III

Another flower plant I found interesting. Feel free to give me feedback when you like it. Thanks! Taken again in Munich, Germany

Interesting Plants II

This interesting plant is from the Botanical Garden in Munich, Germany. I like it because it looks like a heart or any kind of control center.

The Catholic Church is Evil?

No, I don’t think so. However some pedophile priest might as well be. Photo was taken in Munich during this light installation in a church.

Barcelona Dog

We spent some time visiting friends in Barcelona where we came across this little fella.

The Mexican And The Norwegian

Two friends talk in the tube in Barcelona. It’s easy to see they are nice.

Nymphenburg Park Munich

This is the lovely Park of the Nymphenburg Palace in Munich, Germany. Its full of ponds, pagodas and other stuff kings like to enjoy during their spare time.

Arianna Valbuena & Richard Büttner

We’re getting married soon. Arianna is wearing a Dirndl – the photo was shot in Munich, Germany during the Octoberfest.

Black Forest Girl

A black forrest holiday must include always to have a chat with a black forrest girl. This one was taken in Munich. The Black Forest (German: Schwarzwald, pronounced [ˈʃvaʁt͡svald]) is a wooded mountain range in Baden-Württemberg, southwestern Germany. It is bordered by the Rhine valley to the west and south. The highest peak is the [...]

On Your Knees For Jesus

This is in Porto, Portugal. I know its odd, but the catholic suffering paradigm is hard to understand.

Gentian Health Benefits

A anti-toxic tonic, which stimulates liver functions, gentian herb is a medicinal herb. Gentiana is a most spectacular and lovely blue trumpet-shaped flower. With about 400 species, it is considered a large genus. Gentian is an excellent tonic herb and has many uses. Gentian Health Benefits can be applied to treat indigestion, stomach aches and [...]

Loneliness thoughts? In Munich.

Glockenbachviertel Munich

Snapping away in the dead of the night.

Streets Of Barcelona

There are some street performers in Barcelona. This is a picture was taken at Las Ramblas in the most exciting city of the world.

Romanian Window Cleaners

This picture was taken in Barcelona, I had lots of furious comments in regards to their ethnic origin. They are Romani and are an ethnic group living mostly in Europe, who trace their origins to medieval India. The Romani are widely dispersed, with their largest concentrated populations in Europe, especially the Roma of Central and Eastern Europe and Anatolia. Deported [...]

Car Snowed In

In Munich, winters are long, cold and full of snow.

Idyllically

An idyllic place I shot at holidays in Munich at the airport.

Fat Or Fit

Snow Landscape

Snow Landscape

Desert landscaping between Munich and Starnberg. I love these simple snow landscapes (especially in surreal winter) Inspired by Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto (who did the U2 album cover ‘No Line on the Horizon‘).

Dad’s Christmas Ancestors

My Dad is holding of photograph of our ancestors at Christmas Eve.

HDR Cow

A cow in the Bavarian mountains (alps). (High dynamic range (HDR) is a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range of luminance between the lightest and darkest areas of an image than current standard digital imaging techniques or photographic methods)

Steinebach Wörthsee

Winter sun is setting over the frozen solid lake in Steinebach at the Woerthsee in Germany near Munich.

Pagoda Munich

When you’re having some time to spare at night in summer this is the place to go. Great hang-out to chill out. Bring an Augustiner!

The Big Chill Theory

Winter sun is setting in Woerthsee near Munich.

Brunnen Stuttgart

After The Thunder

Thunderstorms: Romans thought them to be battles waged by Jupiter, who hurled lightning bolts forged by Vulcan. Christian doctrine accepted the ideas of Aristotle’s original work, called Meteorologica, that winds were caused by exhalations from the Earth and that fierce storms were the work of God. Ok, but the scenery was really impressive the time the picture was taken at Lake Starnberg [...]

Things not to do in Munich

no comment

Classic Spiral Staircase

Shot was taken in the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. I studied there in the 90ies. The term “spiral” is used incorrectly for a staircase from a mathematical viewpoint, as a mathematical spiral lies in a single plane and moves towards or away from a central point. A spiral staircase by the mathematical definition therefore [...]

The Joker and the Thief

The joker and the thief at the Djemaa el Fna in Marrakesh’s (Morocco) medina quarter (old city). At times as a tourist it can get a bit juicy there. Ideal if you need a new leather bag – don’t talk to the snake charmers.

BMW Building Overcast

Great shape of the building and HDR for Sky and metal look. The Building is the BMW headquarters in Munich, Germany.

Attractions in Marrakesh

Went on a short holiday to Marrakesh and realised the best attraction was right in front of me in the cheap hotel room we were staying.

Under A Rising Sun

Woke up at 5am in Italy and had a swim in the Mediterranean Sea. Then a nice Italian Espresso Maciato.

I Never Look Back

Never look back unless you are planning to go that way. Reflection is certainly imperative, too much reflection though is paralysing. Or a quote by Don Henley: “…a little voice inside my head said don’t look back, you can never look back…” Worst thing to do obviously is to look back again in anger.

Plaza San Marco

(St Mark’s Square Venice, Italy) – heavily touristed.

The Discipline Of Christian Suffering

Why are Christians expected to suffer for their faith?

Frozen Woerthsee

Ice skating on the frozen solid Worthsee near Munich

Weird Sex Games In The Hofbraeuhaus

I don’t know what’s going on in this picture. Seems they have something going on.

Dan Flavin Green Room

Dan Flavin – the art of fluorescent light! The artist uses limitation of his art moderne of materials to commercially available fluorescent tubing inserting it into the world of high art. The resulting body of work at once possesses a straightforward simplicity and a deep sophistication.

Dublin Port

Dublin Port is the largest port in Ireland. 2/3 of the Ireland’s port traffic goes via Dublin Port. Lots of ferries there too.

Irish Landscapes

Ireland has some great landscape designs – seems it’s god’s walled garden. Taken near Dublin.

Dublin Pier

From UK to Dublin for visiting a friend – where she showed me this wonderful pier.

Munich Olympic Park

Always liked the roof of the Olympic Park in Munich. In there you also find the Olympiastadion. I grew up in that city. Here’s a gigapan of the same scenery - fun to play around.

Gibraltar Monkeys

Barbary Macaques (barbary apes) are the monkeys living in Gibraltar. Funny enough besides humans, they are the only primates that live freely in Europe. Or maybe excluding London bus drivers. They are also found in the Atlas Mountains of Algeria and Morocco. Some 230 animals in five troops occupying the area of the Gibraltar Rock. They are commonly referred to as the Barbary Ape, [...]

Naked Munich Pictures

We Germans love to be naked. We’ll strip off just about anywhere and any time. For most, though, it’s not exhibitionism. Sometimes it looks like a Christmas tree.

People’s names you forget

Not remembering names: an unknown couple in Greece  

In Yugoslavia 1985

My Yugoslavian girl-friend when I was very very young. I have no idea what she’s doing now. Anyway she had a house and a little motor-boat on a island Dalmatia – you can’t do better when you’re young and it’s summer in the Mediterranean. The funny circles are fungus marks.
