Only a few days left, the next total solar eclipse on July 22nd is just around the corner. We’ll be heading to a location south of Shanghai.

So this is the perfect time to have a look back at the total solar eclipse of August 1st, 2008.

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. ;-)

W48 #27

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.

Big Brother is Watching You #7

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.
