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.

 After having attended a concert in a circus tent, I walked home at night. When I noticed the colorful light bulbs on top of the tent's roof, it was too dark to get a sharp picture. I moved the camera deliberately during the exposure to get squiggle-like light traces. The dimmer traces (blue and greenish yellow) show the bulbs' faint flickering caused by the AC power.

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.
|
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".
