PW and Vreni
1 January 2003 | ||
 |
||
| Later on at a party arranged by Bulgarian architects. I have a couple of photos of PW with this facial expression. I have no idea if it was because of the pure Vodka that they gave us or because of the camera... | ||
Odyssey
1 January 2003 | ||
 |
||
| Somehow I made it out of the building, wandered aimlessly around Munich and captured the fireworks on the road... No idea how I made it to the train.... | ||

Kino, Mond und Sterne
23 June 2005 | ||

Statue of Mary
9 September 2006 | ||
 |
||
| At Munich's central square together with the Catholic flag | ||
And we were waiting...
9 September 2006 | ||
 |
||
| ...and on big screens we saw his arrival at the airport and how the motorcade rapidly approached us.... | ||
Welcome!
9 September 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Well, he was somewhere behind there... The Papa mobile was really much smaller than I thought.... | ||
Safety everywhere
9 September 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Helicopters and Snipers on roof tops in black enclosements... | ||
Sadly on the other side of the statue
9 September 2006 | ||
 |
||
| I thought originally he would be up at the Rathaus, the City Hall, which is stupid, because why would he be at a worldy building. Of course he would be at the statue... | ||
Gargoyles
9 September 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Why they aren't smiling today is strange for me... | ||
Choir
9 September 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Which sang a few hyms at the beginning... | ||
Watchers
9 September 2006 | ||
 |
||

Well, here is the proof....

 |
||

Bavarian National Anthem
9 September 2006 | ||
 |
||
| It was sung with all verses. All celebrating Bavarian way of life. 'Work hard and play hard' is actually part of the hymn. I sang loudly along. And I felt Bavarian more than ever. | ||
Bavarian symbols
9 September 2006 | ||

||
| A Catholic Flag and a beer with the pope on it... | ||

| The workaholic from London is spending a few weeks here... And was visited by a Texan... Evidently a Narcissist, because his heart says he loves himself... | ||
Abschiedsfoto
24 September 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Farewell photograph. That's what she called it. But I was still in denial. But a couple of hours later I realized it all a bit more... | ||
Leonie going for the Magenbrot
25 September 2006 | ||

Autumn in Munich
25 October 2006 | ||
 |

Red, yellow, Green
25 October 2006 | ||

Old new look

Isar....
26 October 2006 | ||

Autumn Glow...
26 October 2006 | ||
 |
||
More autumn glow
26 October 2006 | ||
 |
||
| What a start into the autumn so far... and it would only go better.... | ||
Glowing trees....
26 October 2006 | ||
 |
||
Long-time exposure....
26 October 2006 | ||

Salad
8 November 2006 | ||
 |
||
| De Cables.... | ||
Police everywhere
9 November 2006 | ||
 |
||
| The new Jewish synagogue was built and the holy Tora scrolls were transfered by rabbis from all over the world... Since the tiniest problem would cause major headlines all over the world, police presence was very strong around my home, close to the old Jewish center. | ||
Segway!
9 November 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Segway with a steady cam, how cool is that! | ||
Musicians
9 November 2006 | ||

 |
||
| At the German Museum.... | ||
Mid-November
16 November 2006 | ||
 |
||
| And the most beautful sunshine across Munich... While jogging, I had to stop a few times to take photographs.... | ||
Autumn Leaves
16 November 2006 | ||
 |
||
More leaves....
16 November 2006 | ||
 |
||
| And more stopping while jogging... Not such a good idea, since running again is always a hassle.... | ||
Dark room, red wine and Neon lights

Wii Mania!
8 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| So I wanted to get myself a Nintendo Wii - the first store in Munich city that opens half an hour before others is the Kaufhof... This was the queue there at 9.... | ||
Side Entrance
8 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| This was the side entrance... While there were about 30 at the front, we actually opened a bit earlier... Then race 3 flights of stairs up and 20 consoles were taken in 5 seconds. I thought 'gentle, gentle' and even though I was one of the first there, no luck.... No wonder if you look at the competition... Look at the guys eager hands! Later one of the unlucky guys told me 'I had one in my hand, I touched it!'. | ||
Zeldas
8 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Zeldas being handed out for the lucky few.... | ||
Next stop Karstadt
8 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| 25 Minutes later we were thirty people. I was quite at the front and we ran five flights of stairs up until quite a few of us were out of breath. 3 Consoles in the entire store.... Before I did this, I had a look at Saturn... | ||
Saturn Hansa 25 minutes before opening....
8 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Two nutters had been here since 2am in the morning. By 9:30 there were 100 in the queue and 36 Wiis up for grabs... I headed down there 20 minutes later just to check it out... And fifty people ran in my direction trying to find another store with one.... I wonder what kind of scenes had happened there - with the insane 'Greed is great', 'Geiz ist Geil' mentality by this store... | ||
Good things come to those who wait
8 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Well, 10 minutes in Saturn, they received a few more... Unlucky those who had queued there for hours and had left earlier... I grabbed a box and Zelda.... | ||
Even few more....
8 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| For about 30 minutes, there were some more spare ones. Quite a few people grabbed two or more Wiis, presumably for ebaying them.... | ||
A few games that don't sell well...
8 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Need for Speed Carbon and COD not selling. Could it be that most Wiiers already have them on Xbox? Or a different audience? | ||
Muse
9 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Muse Live at Zenith in Munich. Fantastic concert - I took this photo with my mobile phone. The image sucks and you can't see anything, but I just wanted to note it down, since it was such a fantastic concert! | ||
Christmas Party Big Style
16 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Leonie's company Bain rented out the entire Zenith hall, where I had seen Muse the week earlier... | ||
NY Skyline
16 December 2006 | ||
 |

Christmas Party Meat Style
21 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| At the Emmeransmühle the complete gang had a special christmas dinner. This was the second course... | ||
Food, food, food
22 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Bernd ate half of it... | ||
Leonie's farewell
22 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Mathieu, Sandro and Sandro's flatmate who we all met after our huge dinner... | ||
Once more, not so serious!
22 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| And that's the faces they made... | ||
Rush out of the City
22 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Munich's city was completely full. But in the evening everyone was trying to desert it... | ||
Christmas Party 3
22 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Bernd, Dominik, Mathias and myself went out to dinner at a great French place. Here you see us with wine, oysters and snails... | ||
A night at the Opera
26 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| Full program on the second christmas day. In the morning mass in our local parish, in the evening Verdi's La Forza Del Destino | ||
National Theater
26 December 2006 | ||
 |
||
| And the cast. Before this visit, I was really sceptical if I would like the opera. It turned out that I really enjoyed it - the reason? Subtitles for the lyrics... | ||

Isar Banks
28 January 2007 | ||
 |
||
| On a Winter Sunday | ||
Still need to find out...
28 January 2007 | ||
 |
||
| ...what this church is called.... | ||
Winter? Spring?
4 February 2007 | ||
 |
||
| Incredibly warm, lovely days this winter - great for walks along the Isar. | ||
Bridge
4 February 2007 | ||
 |
||
| ...with Shadows... | ||
Bridge Pillar
4 February 2007 | ||
 |
||
| I just like the light, the contrast and the graffiti | ||
Demonstration
10 February 2007 | ||
 |
||
| Just in front of my house, during the Munich Security Conference. Lots and lots of police.... | ||
Schwarzer Block
10 February 2007 | ||
 |
||
| The so-called Schwarze Block, the black block is the group of more extreme demonstrators - they were accompanied by Police 1:1 - Bavaria is very thorough here. | ||
Peaceful demonstrators...
10 February 2007 | ||
 |
||
| ...many church organisations there and some weirder ones (anarchistic pogo party with the motto 'work is shit') and the 'Rasta party'.... | ||
Idiots
10 February 2007 | ||
 |
||
| Carrying a banner 'Soldiers are Rapists' is not likely to help communication anywhere. | ||
Confrontation
10 February 2007 | ||
 |
||
| Below in my side-street something nastier happened and police had to move one of the demonstrators down the road in a van - the demonstrators followed. Luckily nothing happened. | ||

Ultimate Fasching Photo
20 February 2007 | ||
 |
||
| Clown, a Village people tribute band, some people looking at the camera... | ||
Please take a photo!
20 February 2007 | ||
 |
||
| When you carry an SLR, people come up to you and think you're working for a paper so you end up taking photos of them... | ||
Lamps...

First of May
1 May 2007 | ||
 |
||
| I convinced PW and Vreni to head out with me to 'do something, anything!', so we headed to the English Garden with some rugs and our bikes.... | ||
Perfect....
1 May 2007 | ||
 |
||
| ...I fell asleep there. Total tranquility. | ||
Best Cake Ever
10 May 2007 | ||
 |
||
| Vreni baked the most amazing chocolate Raspberry Cake for my birthday. | ||
The miracle of Bernd
11 May 2007 | ||
 |
||
| When I invited some of my friends over for Champagne and Sushi, our flesh-monster Bernd had the little box in front of him for himself. Veggy Sushi. He has become a Vegetarian. It is true. Mankind can change for the better. All hope is not lost. | ||
Alongside the Isar....

Preparing for the move
28 August 2007 | ||
 |
||
| My Million Bells had grown so large that I could not support her anymore, so I was preparing to move her to my parents balcony. | ||
