In the winter of 1991, I decided to take some photos of my then-residental area.
I started on a foggy morning.
|
Some days later, it was clear and dark.
|
Some days later, there was a dawn with a bit of white frost.

Again some days later, there was stronger white frost in the early morning light.
|
In the beginning of November, I discovered a red house in Heidenheim, partially concealed by trees.
|
At the end of November, the red house was better visible because of snow and bare trees.

At a street near the village of Faial on Madeira, I saw that old-style guard rail.
|
Two and a half years later, the guard rail had been replaced by a new one.
|
Again five years later, the new guard rail's paint had already flaked off.
I strongly assume the old-style guard rail was longer-lasting.

At the suburban train stop "Tiergarten" in Berlin, I found this graffiti during Easter 2003.
I called it "Reclining Buddha" because it reminded me of the reclining Buddha statues in Asia.
|
During Whitsun 2004, I visited the place again.
I found that additional graffiti had been applied, but the original Buddha image was still intact.
|
In July 2011, more graffiti had superseded the picture, but the Buddha's head — although faded — was still partly visible.
