Oops, quite a while since the last post here. Not that I lost interest in photography ;-), so here is an image from a recent trip [May 2009] to Prague, a gorgeous city, picturesque beyond belief.

Gröde 2003 Reloaded
The old images from our first trip to Hallig Gröde back in 2003 are now re-cataloged in LR and a new selection is posted in the gallery album Hallig Gröde 2003. Almost felt like archeology, digging through the scanned film files.
From the Archives: KHD High-riser
Back in a “previous life”, one of these windows used to be mine. ;-) For those sharing this experience, there is an ex-o.tel.o meetup in May [2009].
Frome the Archives: Encircled Block
Back to the roots, the first part of the Stadtbild Köln series. An image from an excursion to Chorweiler, Cologne’s infamous suburb, but not without a certain photographic appeal. For Karl of course, this particular picture would be much too pretentious. ;-)
A New Toy and an Old Prop
Playing around with my new LX3, a really old telephone, the venerable W48 from my father-in-law’s grab bag, found itself under photographic scrutiny. And yes, the LX3 is a great little camera, a major improvement from my old LX1, especially in the noise department and the overall handling.

Happy Easter – Frohe Ostern
Fast schon Sommer, die Ostertage in Köln. Da passt dieses Gartenidyll, mitten in der Südstadt an der Kirche St. Severin perfekt, auch wenn das Bild vom letzten Wochenende stammt, während des verkaufsoffenen Sonntags auf der Severinstraße.
From the Archives: Butzweilerhof
Butzweilerhof, Ossendorf, Cologne’s former airfield. Among the barracks buildings there is also the decaying container home used for one season of the Big Brother TV show.
As of lately, the Butzweilerhof area features a major outlet of your favourite Swedish-style furniture supplier.
This is one of my more popular Butzweilerhof images at ipernity.

Sonntags am Stadtarchiv
Ein ruhiger Sonntag rund um das Unglücksgebiet Einsturz des Kölner Stadtarchiv im Vringsveedel. Gar nicht ruhig werden jedoch die Ungeheuerlichkeiten, die Tag für Tag durchsickern, auch wenn das Disaster in der überregionalen Berichterstattung kaum noch Raum findet (und wenn, dann ohne kritische Betrachtung der Hinter- besser Untergründe, ARD und ZDF!). Ob jetzt endlich mal Konsequenzen gezogen werden?
From the Archives: Talking Horns
Part of the Stadtbild Köln series from 2007: Tour of Mülheim with Jazz played by the Talking Horns, Achim Fink, Andreas Gilgenberg, Bernd Winterschladen, Nicolao Valiensi, and local history told by Martin Stankowski.
From the Archives: Ikarus and the Pipe
Another shot from the disaster area two years ago, the Ikarus over the entrance to the Friedrich-Wilhelm secondary school which was dismantled on Friday. [06 Mar 2009]
Noch ein Bild aus dem jetzigen Unglücksgebiet, der Ikarus über dem Eingang zum Friedrich-Wilhelm Gymnasium, am letzten Freitag wurde er geborgen. [06.03.2009]
