Amphibian

It's been a long time. I know. Well, the new job, a broken MacBook, moving to a new city and testing different cameras (Nikon D90 lost the duel to the Canon EOS 600D ;-) took its toll. However I'm now back to my art (full of ideas, so you better beware), even though it has to share time and space with my full-time job (I love being an engineer).

My home is my bookstore in Ueckermünde (Germany). 

I love the calm  and the tender loving care.

P.S. Please leave your dog outside!

Entrance to the Karlsruhe Zoo (No, this is not my new work place!)

As you might have realized this blog has been relatively quiet. However I have a very, very, very good reason for it:

I will move to Karlsruhe at the end of June, because on July 2nd I will start in my new job, which is THE job at THE organization. Naturally I'm really excited about this opportunity, this change.

So right now I'm quite busy with wrapping up projects here in Leipzig and preparing for the move. I still have to find a room for the first three months, but I don't consider it a challenge since the summer holidays come up and a lot of the students will sublet their rooms.

Karlsruhe is a beautiful city in my opinion and has a good size. Throughout the last three years I've visited a lot of german cities and most of them I found pretty ugly and I wouldn't want to work or live there, like the Ruhrpott (Yes, it's more than one city, I know that.) or Berlin.

My personal Top 5 of german cities worth living in:

1. Stralsund
2. Leipzig
3. Dresden
4. Potsdam
5. Karlsruhe

Anyway, I've got a busy afternoon ahead of me.

Have a great week everyone.

Urban Art - Walking Up

Is this art or a joke? Personally I found it hilarious.

Enjoy your Monday and have a great new week.
