Weekly Photo Challenge: Room


My cat Shyna finds always room. The photo above shows what I mean. She will always find room to lay down and she could declare anything as cozy, even a carton. I needed the moving box to put my old living room content into it, until I got the new cabinet for the living room. I placed the moving box in my bedroom but my cat liked the box. Well, isn´t it fun to scratch on the cardboard to take a nap on it later on? However, the photo simply fits to the recent photo challenge. Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Room

Daily Prompt: Future Past


Todays question of the Daily Prompt is quite interesting… As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? How close or far are you from that vision? The movie Top Gun with Tom Cruise came out 1986 and I was five years old then. I am not sure if I did see the movie 1986 and I bet I didn´t but I am quite sure that I did see the movie several times when I was seven or eight years old. Apart from the fact that this movie was probably a popular one anyway, I was … Continue reading Daily Prompt: Future Past

Daily Prompt: Great Expectations


Today the Daily Prompt asks “Tell us about one thing (or more) that you promised yourself you’d accomplish by the end of the year. How would you feel once you do? What if you don’t?” and I really can relate to this question. After tons of photos that I took with my point and shoot camera or smartphone, I really would say that I am interested in taking photos. While I do think that you can get great results on this way, I also found out the limitations of the hardware. I have the idea in my mind to buy … Continue reading Daily Prompt: Great Expectations

Daily Prompt: Unexpected Guests


Today the Daily Prompt asks: “You walk into your home to find a couple you don’t know sitting in your living room, eating a slice of cake. Tell us what happens next?”. Instead of answering the question, I can really tell a story about unexpected guests. It´s a long time ago and I am talking about a time when me and my friends were round about 20 years old. Another friend did invite us but we arrived too early and he was still not at home. I am not sure why we did that but a friend said “Look! The … Continue reading Daily Prompt: Unexpected Guests

Weekly Photo Challenge: On Top


For the Weekly Photo Challenge with the motto “On Top” I come up with four images and a gallery. One of the images is very funny because it´s a mouse on the head of my mother’s husband. The other photos are about pigeons that I found outside. One pigeon sits on a sign and then there are two photos with two pigeons on a roof. Here you can see them… Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: On Top

Weekly Photo Challenge: Monument


For the Monument Photo Challenge, I thought there would be no better subject in Lübeck than the Holstentor which is called Holsten Gate in english. I uploaded already a photo of the Holstentor some time ago for the photo challenge with the motto grand. But the gate fits yet again to the new challenge. I could now write a huge story about the Holstentor that is a very old architecture but the article on Wikipedia is very nice and explains it all, in case you are interested in history of Lübeck or history of the Holsten Gate. It was quite … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Monument
