Photographs & Memories

Andong, South Korea, 20 June 2026 I feel truly enchanted by the zoom-feature of my cell phone for it allows me to see a world I had been most ignorant of.

Andong, South Korea, 20 June 2026 I arrived in South Korea on 4 June 2026. Since then, it has never rained. The first time it did was on 20 June. Temperatures were constantly between around 18 to 30 degrees Celsius.

Andong, South Korea, 20 June 2026 70 percent of the country consists of mountains, I'm told, and thus cannot be inhabited. Needless to say, some still try yet most seem to live in skyscrapers.

Santa Cruz do Sul, 5 February 2026 This picture shows part of the new annex of the school where I regularly teach intensive courses in English conversation during the Brazilian summer holidays.  The photo, to me, is an attempt at catching the sunlight that at this very moment fell on the school patio. Needless to say, only for a brief moment the scene looked like that.  

Andong, South Korea, 20 June 2026 You can't see what you see here with your naked eye. The camera (especially when using the zoom feature) shows me a world beyond my natural ability to see.

Gyeongju, South Korea, 18 June 2026 This is what you get to see when you step out of the train station in Gyeongju. If you want to tell people that they do not matter as individuals, you make them live as faceless objects in concrete jungles.
