Winter 2010

When going through old e-mail attachments, I also
came across pics that my brother Thomas had sent me
after returing to California, where he lives. 

This photo must have been taken somewhere near Adetswil.
What I seem to remember from this day is that we had Schnitzel
Pommes frites in a traditional restaurant, a dish so traditional that
it is rare that I have it which, come to think of it, strikes me as pretty weird.

It baffles me that only now I'm willing to see what it is: a disease that turns me into  a prisoner of news that I can do without if I so wish.  The readiness is all . says Horatio in Hamlet.

Unter der Treppe

Santa Cruz do Sul, 30. Januar 2025 Diese Blume befindet sich unterhalb einer Treppe. Es ist offensichtlich, dass ich nur einen Teil davon aufgenommen  habe, was daran liegt, dass die vorangegangenen Versuche, die die vollständigen Blumen (es waren zwei) einrahmen wollten, nicht wirklich gelungen waren. Und so habe ich jetzt zwar eine ganz andere Blume vor Augen, die mir jedoch auch die beiden Blumen ins Gedächtnis rufen, die nicht auf dem Bild zu sehen ist. Was wieder einmal unterstreicht, dass wir nur sehen können, was wir wissen.
