whilst my recent favourite airport frankfurt in the heart of germany is descending into snow and chaos, we will probably get not more than a bit of nasty, wet weather here at lake constance. at least another, highly likely final, opportunity for me to portray the rural appearance of bermatingen's townscape in a winterly atmosphere.
architecture
dark corner
at the moment i prepare for my trip to berlin next week. needless to say that besides the actual planning of the main - the day - activities, what is, of course, the most important and time-consuming issue of preparation this week, i already long for the dark side of berlin in my spare time.
let's see how many of the daily 24 hours will be left for wandering about the townscape. till then i delight in a so far not shown street shot from the dark suburbs of lisbon.
kitchen nook
this is the functional part of our kitchen. the room per se is very large, but most of the time the action takes place in the shown corner. to make matters worse, there is a guy who - instead of helping the chef - runs around with his camera all the time... well, who might that be?
frizzled
the castle garden of salem is a jewel in southern baden's cultural landscape. ancient architecture comes upon aged nature. in the scene above i especially liked the repetitive frizzles of the branches and the decoratively painted window frames.
birnau abbey
that one, who is still not sure about the capabilities of the walimex pro 8mm f2.8 fisheye lens, is given the chance to check a typical uwa sample in detail by today's posting. any more questions?
guerrilla crural cosy
why should mankind generally accept that statues get cold legs in the depths of winter? until today i didn't know that guerrilla knitting is common in the country now, too.
“Yarn bombing, yarnbombing, yarnstorming, guerrilla knitting, urban knitting or graffiti knitting is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre rather than paint or chalk.”
ideal world
compared to police stations in the centre of a metropolis like berlin the duty officers of idyllic ueberlingen's cop shop may usually spend really smooth hours without larger incidents, even on a friday or saturday night. this may be mainly due to the fact that there is scarcely anybody on the road what on the other hand can be seen as a disadvantage for those who go for busy party districts with a great many people in the street.
btw: once again new images in the galleries...
normalised growth
today we finally found the time to discover the cote d'azur. it's not that st. tropez or le lavandou thrilled us to a special degree - pretty unspectacular a small ruin near grimaud with a bright view over the hinterland of st. tropez was the daily highlight.
illuminated space
some things here in france don't make sense to my way of thinking. illegal rubbish dumps, decay and in the most general sense the ravages of time have left their marks on more or less every town here in the countryside. so why, this being the case, should a municipality ever invest in such a wonderfully illuminated, every evening completely unoccupied car park?

at one place concentrated, logistic master pieces like frankfurt airport are extremely rare in germany. even rarer these constructs (of any kind) are transparent enough to give you at least a slight glimpse into their true, tremendous complexity. already during the round about 8 to 10 minutes lasting bus drive from the parking position of the plane from friedrichshafen to terminal 1 where our flight to nice departed the airport of frankfurt gave an impressive insight into its hidden processes: a part of the drive was leading through narrow, branched buildings where a lot of busy people did their work.
