As a followup to my Windows of Barcelona series I prepared Windows of San Francisco:

A few other series :

• Adjazenz Nummero 47, aka Triptych to the City of San Francisco (shown below)
• Kongruenz Nummero 22
• Korrespondenz Nummero 105
• Resonanz Nummero 62

No, the German names and numbers of the series don’t have any special meaning, their sole purpose is to sound “artsy”, in the spirit of the famous work “Fluktuation 8” by a certain polish action artist.

The remaining photos I made during my visit in San Francisco after the
Ubuntu Developers’ Summit in Mountain View in November are now online,
as well.

Dear American People,

I guess you’ll find businesses selling unique eyebrow
designs only in god’s own country:

And what does “unique” mean? Do their customers get two
different designs for their two eyebrows? – What a bargain!

Groucho Marx’ greasepaint eyebrows are unique, in a way. Maybe that’s what they are selling?

Confused,

I finally found the time to sort my photos from Vilanova i la Geltrú and Barcelona.

My Windows of Barcelona series:

A few other nice shots:

These are:
1st row: Casa Milà; dito; dito; dito; dito;
2nd row: Palau de la Música Catalana; dito; Mies van der Rohe Pavilion; dito; Vilanova Lighthouse;
3rd row: Sagrada Família; dito; dito; Hospital de Sant Pau; dito;
4th row: Sagrada Família, seen from Sant Pau; City Center/Barri Gòtic; dito; dito; Plaça Reial

A panoramic view of Barcelona photographed from the Montjuic towards the north:

Those “thunderclouds” on the right side of the image are actually a
result of not using the same exposure settings on all photos that are
part of the panorama. Which is a mistake I didn’t repeat with my
second panoramic view, which again shows Barcelona from the Montjuic, but this time towards the east:

Dont miss the the entire album!

It has been pretty cold in Hamburg the last days. There’s now a thick but holey ice cover on the Elbe river:
