On Canada's Manitoulin island, I visited part of the unceded Indian land near Manitowaning,
which does not even officially belong to Canada. It was to early for the season
and there was little to do and see, but I noticed this remarkable bird house on an Indian property.

The total solar eclipse of 11th August 1999 was a major event.
I lived near the center line at that time and went to the wineyards on a hill to watch it.
Unfortunately, there was an almost closed cloud cover and it rained.
But I had brought my own sun with me, drawn on two sheets that were sewn together.

When I was strolling though Aalborg, I found this funny logo on a transportation company's van.

When I had parked my rented car on a parking lot, I recognized that the car to the left
had a licence plate with the syllable "OM" on it that is holy for Hindus and Buddhists.

At the suburban train stop "Tiergarten" in Berlin,
I found this graffiti right opposite the platform, during Easter 2003.
I called it "Reclining Buddha", because it resembled some of the reclining Buddha statues in Asia.
(Update: during Whitsun 2004, I visited it again.
I found that additional graffiti had been applied,
but the original Buddha image was still intact.

In the shopping zone of Puerto de la Cruz at Teneriffa's north coast,
I saw this sign of a souvenir shop. If "Popo" is understood as a German word,
it causes funny associations: "Popo" simply means "bottom" or "bum".
