Photographs & Memories

Andong, South Korea, 20 June 2026 When crossing the street, I saw this flower in front of a flowershop, approached it, took the photo while not really feeling at ease for I remembered that I once photographed various flowers outside a flowershop in Trieste which prompted the owner to furiously shout at me that the flowers had to be bought and were not there  to be photographed.

Santa Cruz do Sul, 9 December 2021 How these patterns form is beyond me. The larger question of course is: What makes nature tick the way it does? No question that could better illustrate how little we know.

Hiroshima, 11 October 2025 The limitations of my mobile phone camera become especially apparent when I want to capture more than just a detail. Differently put, I'm well aware that this pic paints a distorted version of what had been in front of the lens, it however shows pretty well, I think, my attempt to compose something pleasing the eye.  

Andong, South Korea, 20 June 2026 I'm very much taken by Korean architecture, even the most unremarkable aspects intrigue me  – as I'm sure the above picture demonstrates.

  Andong, South Korea, 20 June 2026 Contemplating the various forms in which nature presents itself is truly awesome. The work of literally  every artist pales against it.

Andong, South Korea, 20 June 2026 It is baffling that I was able to go through most of my life without realising that there are flowers virtually everwhere. I'm deeply grateful that I can see and appreciate them now. Nothing is more soul warming than to recognise beauty.
