At the end, it didn’t work out. We were only partially sucessful, so to speak. Just a few glimpses of the sun thru the clouds between 1st and 2nd contact, and even heavy rain after 3rd contact. The deep darkness was impressing, nevertheless.

Stadtfugen, a photography project already started end of 2007, is now in a first version online at www.stadtfugen.org.
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.
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.
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].
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. ;-)
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.

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.
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.
