Digital Currency Bitcoin maybe in Free Fall again…

Dennis

Looks like the digital currency called Bitcoin is situated in a free fall again after the big rise of the last weeks. The value of the digital currency was now above 1000 USD for some time but it seems that this is over now. The Bitcoin currency is known for being very volatile. The price jumped immediately up to over 1000 USD when the Chinese search engine Baidu accepted the currency. But now the latest news is that the People’s Bank of China does not allow banks to handle with the Bitcoin currency in China. And not only this. There … Continue reading Digital Currency Bitcoin maybe in Free Fall again…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Grand

Dennis

This image is my entry to the Weekly Photo Challenge: Grand. The gate on the left side of the image is called Holstentor (in english: Holsten Gate) and it is the landmark of the town Lübeck where I live. People who are interested about this beautiful and old architecture, might want to check out the article about the Holsten Gate on Wikipedia. While I know a lot about our landmark, I am actually little bit too lazy to prepare a complex and huge article. But I might hit that topic in the future too as I still have a lot … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Grand

The Red Sky

Dennis

Time for a new photo. The husband of my mother took this photo of Lübeck´s sky in the morning from a highrise. But I edited the photo a little bit with an android app. I think I have shown you some of my Pixlr-o-matic images already in the past. I like this little cool app. If you’re not at home but if you want to play with some effects and so, this little app is very handy and the results are often pretty cool. I really prefer it over Instagram. So, for sure I suggest you to try out Pixlr-o-matic! Continue reading The Red Sky
