Taking the train is even greener now


Took this pic at the trainstation of Wolkenburg. As you can see nature is taking back this space. From what it looks like, the last train has left the station a decade ago. Don't know when exactly though. Well, at least it's good for taking pictures now. XD

Today, I get my hair cut, after four months since the last cut, it is high time.

At night all the lights are green



Or at least it seems like this on my Leipzig at Night photos. This is the staircase of the new university building. When I found this pic in the envelope (film is often better) I was quite surprised, because I didn't remember any green lighting. Well, the effect is cool though.

And a warm welcome to my new worldwide friends.


Have a great start into the new week. Mine was quite good.  ;)

Motschekiebchen


Ahh, I can see the questionmarks on your faces, at least if you aren't from Saxony. Motschekiebchen is a saxonian term for the Marienkäfer whose english name is ladybug. I took this picture on the bank at Chris and my favourite part of our usual cycling round.
This little ladybug was really fast on his legs, I took like 30 pictures (digital!) and from them the Motschekiebchen was only in 2 or 3 in focus. But those pictures look nice nonetheless.




Today I wanted to attend a digital photography class at the adult education center. Not that I really need it, but I figured that I would maybe learn a few new tricks, especially for GIMP. At the moment I still need ages to do anything in this program. (In case you are wondering now: I'm a photographer not an editor! Editing is fine and I'm glad that it is now so much easier than when it had to be done without digital help. However I think sometimes the editors go way over the top.) Unfortunately the class was canceled due to low registration numbers. :( Well, I'll take  a look on the summer courses, maybe there is something interesting. Like drawing cubism (which is also quite taxing) or calligraphy.

I wish you all a wonder- and peaceful weekend.

Overgrown

One of the many old family resting places on Leipzigs graveyards. I really like Leipzigs cemeteries, they are like huge parks.

Even though the best cemetery I have ever seen was in Edinburgh (Scotland), called the Dean Cemetery. It really is like a sculpture park and it took me and my friend quite a while to figure out that all the obelisks and sculptures were actually tombstones. It has it's own website even: http://www.deancemetery.org.uk/.

Enjoy your Friday.
