Nothing


WHAT A BOOK! Just finished "Nothing" from Janne Teller. Couldn't put the book away. You should read it. The german translation from the danish original is colled "Nichts. Was im Leben wichtig ist." ("Nothing. What is important in live"). Teenagers are searching the MEANING. No book like others.

Dortmunder U





The famous and photogenic emblem from Dortmund, the Dortmund U-Tower. On top is a video installation from the Hartware MedienKunstVerein. And I like to watch it. Always interesting, sometimes funny, today I saw a big spider crawling. Other times I saw sky, butterflies, montains, people.
Here I have to change the train.

In the morning





On my way to work. It was a beautiful dawn and the last SUMMER morning. Do you listen to music in this time? I just heard this two songs.
