Sand Art Sculpture

Dennis

I wonder why I never posted this photo. Maybe because I still have so many on my hard drive to upload. But it is anyway to post a photo on my blog as I didn´t do that often since some time now. This is one photo that my mother took with her smartphone some time ago on a local beach. It was summer 2013. I don´t know who the artist of this nice sand sculpture is but it does look pretty awesome. I think the person who did that, has great talent. I really like the sand sculpture. Great art! … Continue reading Sand Art Sculpture

The mess does not get fixed in Battlefield 4…

Dennis

To be honest, Battlefield 4 is a great game but technically it is a buggy piece of software that has been rushed out by a money-hungry publisher called Electronic Arts. A little bit more time and the developer DICE would have been able to create a really amazing and technically perfect game. But it didn´t happen as EA wanted to publish the game before Activision´s Call of Duty Ghosts. The problem is not that we all here bought a game with bugs. Many game releases come with some bugs as the mass of players get the hands on it to … Continue reading The mess does not get fixed in Battlefield 4…

Grandpa´s Birthday Cake

Dennis

We visited grandpa today as it is his birthday. We had a nice talk and enjoyed his day while eating some cakes. One of the cakes is called “Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte” and the cake is called Black Forest gateau in english. The other cake is a “Erdbeer-Rolle” which could be called “Strawberry Roll” translated in english. Pretty tasty cakes! As always, grandpa had much to tell and I really like to listen as he can tell you much life stories! He sometimes really can´t stop talking but I think this is a family syndrome. Friends told me that I do talk … Continue reading Grandpa´s Birthday Cake

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected

Dennis

With the photo above I want to participate to the Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected. This is a shot with my smartphone and the quality is not great as the lighting conditions were bad. But it was still one of the moments when my cat gets funny. That is usually the moment when my cat starts to show some unexpected talents. This is why I think that the image does fit to the challenge even with bad quality of the photo. On the photo you can see a chair with a broken seat. The photo was taken before I wanted to … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Unexpected

I Borrowed Grandpa´s Vantage X-99 Guitar

Dennis

I borrowed grandpa´s rare guitar of the Vantage label. It´s a Vantage X-99 guitar. Matsumoku in Japan produced the guitar in the 70´s or 80´s but I am not sure. The X-99 was one of the Vantage top models. I can remind that I played on grandpa’s X-99 guitar many times when I was a teenager. He had also a 1974 Fender Stratocaster and it was always hard to decide which one I would like to play for some hours. But I can tell you that the Vantage X-99 is in no way inferior to a Fender Strat. I tested … Continue reading I Borrowed Grandpa´s Vantage X-99 Guitar
