For the past two years Annie Heringer has been documenting the men and women who continue to race homing pigeons in New York City. It’s a tradition that’s been passed down from generation to generation in the city for over a century...

Immovables and Immobility in Greece |
|
|
|
February 23th 2010
In Greece today mobility personnel of airports is on strike. Together with subway and bus drivers workers all across the country protest against measures the Greece government is planning to fight the country's financial problems. A great day to lean back and enjoy the photo salbum "Greek Ruins" at www.zeit.de. The photos were taken by Benjamin Tafel already in 2008, but having the current news in mind watching the photos may evoke uncanny 'futuristic' feelings.

.:! 10 years of Bilderbook !:.
.:!!! 20 years Fall of the Berlin Wall !!!:.
1989-1999-2009
Bilderbook turns 10 this year!
And the Berlin Wall is open for 20 years!
I'll take the opportunity and freshen things up a bit, iron the layout, knit some more code, finally upload loads of new photos I took in Sweden, Denmark, Hamburg, New York and of course Berlin and Finnland. Celebrating the Fall of the Berlin Wall I will begin with an album of pictures of the Berlin wall - but since there's so much to do it'll still take me a while to actually compile and upload the pictures. Please be patient. Last but not least (or actually as a first action) I will add a cute little CMS. Hope you like it! ..to be continued..:]. |

March 2007: it's planned that the Airport Tempelhof is closed next year - that means no more air traffic will take place at this airport. For the rest of the building the city of Berlin is...

31.12.05: for this new year's eve we have a very special update: a happy new desktop wallpaper!
"guten Rutsch!" is what you say in german before New Year's Eve. Literally it would mean something like "have a jolly good slide" and I suppose it refers to the moment when you 'slide' into the next year..
"guten Rutsch!" also had a quite direct meaning this year: a couple of days ago it started snowing - like it didn't snow in Berlin for years - perfect for getting the good old sledge out of the basement - and slide down what ever you can slide down in Berlin.. for example the little hill in the Mauerpark..

"let it snow, let it snow, .." |

28.12.05: "..let it snow.." ..says some song I heard during the holidays..
Currently it snows in Berlin, in Brandenburg, in some parts of northern germany - and also in some parts of Europe, where it usually does not snow so much.. - ..and it is very likely, that it will continue snowing for a while.
In Berlin and Brandenburg it's supposed to snow some 10 to 20 cm, and tomorrow another 10 to 20 cm. Wow! Wow snow! For Berlin, that's a lot (for Finland it's not..:] ).
I think I'll try to take some pictures.. if I can take some time off from work..:] We'll see..
greetings, t..
