Driving home from a long excursion, it was getting too late to continue driving,
so I decided to sleep in the car. When I woke up from the first sunrays,
I realized that had parked in front of his old house.

In October 1989, I decided to stay in Berlin for New Year's Eve 1989.
I had booked transportation and accomodation only days before the first news
from the gap in the Wall reached me on November 9.
Now I was there in the middle of Berlin and experienced world history first-hand and hands-on
- I helped the wall peckers.

In Haigerloch, a village in a deep valley of the river Eyach, on certain spots,
there is not much room for streets and traffic signs,
so this traffic light was directly mounted to a house wall.

The dusk was just falling when I strolled around Berlin's central railway station
, waiting for my train. The cloud's fading colors gave the rising moon an even paler look.

On a summer day, I loaded a black&white film to take pictures
of an old gravel factory building in Malmsheim near Stuttgart, that was just being demolished.
During the weekend, I had enough time to find strange scenes in those places
where people used to work for decades.
|
When I travelled in the Stuttgart area, I came across this house with a graffiti sprayed on it.
The graffiti text was probably taken from the title of a German film.
The house was renovated around 2001, so the graffiti is probably gone by now.
