Somewhere in Switzerland

Have a magical new week everyone.

Cycle tour through the Leipziger Land - No.4

Finally the last part of my cycle tour. Unfortunately the day was very grey and rainy. The advantage: so all was quiet and silent. I watched a grey heron - and he watched at me.

On the way back it started raining ... it was pelting down with rain!

I was on the southern battlefield. It's situated between Wachau an Güldengossa - two very small and very old villages. A historic place!

The Battle of the Nations (on 16–19 October 1813) was fought by the coalition armies of Russia, Prussia, Austria and Sweden against the French army of Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon's army also contained Polish and Italian troops as well as Germans from the Confederation of the Rhine. The battle involved over 600,000 soldiers, making it the largest battle in Europe prior to World War I.

Napoleon was defeated ... and the victors exiled him to Elba a Mediterranean island in Tuscany (Italy).

Saturday Picture Love

Okay, I just felt the need for a new special of this blog: Saturday Picture Love. From next Saturday on I will share with you links to pictures that I really loved. No new idea at all, Mark Sisson does share cool links every Sunday and Ioana Liliana does so occasionally too.

So here are links to the pictures that I really liked this week, random order:
POP9
They shoot film: rain forest
They shoot film: clouds
Our Li's pictures The first picture is just stunning

Now the reason for this, well, I thought you would want to know what I liked and not just find out when you find a comment of me under a blogpost that you liked too.

Summer at the Darßer Bodden

Details of my favourite workspace - Starbucks

Über den Dingen ist richtig, Robert. Es ist der Starbucks am Brühl in Leipzig, im ersten Obergeschoß. It's the Starbucks at the Brühl in Leipzig, first floor sitting area. And the whole picture in the right direction is next. :)

It took me a few tries to get it right. ;P

Happy Friday and then a magical and hopefully peaceful (Greece and Libya) weekend for everyone.

Details of my favourite workspace

So, where did I take this picture? Can you guess it?

Leipzigs Old Townhall - Arcades

This is the shop with the silverware, lot's of beautiful things, which make a girl dream (or gay men with the good and expensive taste).

By the way, I'll get a new "camera" today. My old cell phone (Motorola MOTO u9 and I LOVED it, old Trekkie that I am ;) broke a few weeks back and yesterday I succumbed and ordered a new one via Amazon. My new Samsung was shipped yesterday by Amazon Leipzig (funny, eh?) and should arrive today. Now all I need to do is buy a Micro SD Card (planned for next week) and I can provide all of us with new and some kind of lomographic pictures.

Chris, if you haven't found my weekly Paleojourney picture already, here is the link: http://the-man-made-project.blogspot.com/2011/02/paleojourney-mac-photo-booth-diary-week_21.html
Bring your pictures (and lots of time) with you the next time you come to Leipzig and we scan them in at my parents place. Die Abzüge nicht die Negative.
Oh, good news, my friend A* agreed to check out Leipzigs Tango schools with me. This should be fun.
