Whoah...I'm back

2009-03-01T15:59:00.009+01:00

Ghosh...finally, I'm back and my eyes were BIG when I red what I've wrote for the last posted. It did happened in my real life!.....We've moved to the other side of Rhine but luckily, we did not need to keep balance like the funny fellow on photo...*pfuff* but it was not a small things to do with all those boxes...Well,today photo represent our feeling after all we have done and for myself...RELIEF...last posted not make this site "The Forgotten One". So,the wise words speaks the truth..."Watch out what you say and wish for"

The forgotten one

2008-05-31T22:24:00.006+02:00

This funny fellow will show you how to keep your balance to make it to other side of Rhine river through the Hohenzollern-Bruecke: the main bridge in Cologne ;o)

Cologne's Sky

2008-05-23T15:45:00.003+02:00

Somehow, I think this muscle man mean to be there...in front of Cologne's Chocolate Museum which is as well right next door to the Sport Museum. When you're having a damn delicious chocolate bar in your hands that some are melting in your mouth, this sculpture will be seen as...just like.....NOTHING! ;o)

Cologne's other faces

2008-05-22T13:17:00.005+02:00

Just like other big city, this kind of art is common to be found in Cologne as well and nowadays even a small town has it. But in big cities often more interesting graffiti just like this one which I would like to represent my wish that Cologne's gray sky would NOT last till weekend. The word means "NO" and it's in German slang instead of "Nein"

Where I feels home

2008-05-20T16:51:00.005+02:00

So far, I have not post yet the faces of Cologne city which I personally love it. This building is a home to the local broadcast for Federal of Nord Rhein Westfallen (NRW) called WDR (West Deutsche Rundfunk).

A metter of taste

2008-04-30T18:12:00.003+02:00

I am not so sure if these fancy building are for living. But if it is an apartment like I thought according to have seen live with my own eyes then it is sure a nice view towards the river rhine but would you stay in fancy and without no doubt expensive apartment because of the architecture and nice view but with no garden at all? Well, it is all depend on taste but for me as a family person, I will need definitely a little garden at least. Pictures are related to yesterday posted at the same location.

Skyscraper

2008-04-29T18:46:00.004+02:00

Spring is back in its real mood (Hooray...) and even too exciting that almost all trees which not suppose to have leaf yet, already green but sorry this "Skyscraper" tree is not green yet as I took this picture not in the city where I live but in the neighbor city which is a rival city of Cologne. It is called Duesseldorf, the capital of federal state of North Rhine Westfallen (NRW) where Cologne belongs in its territory and both located along the river Rhine.

Winter mood in Spring

2008-04-09T17:37:00.004+02:00

Last year April was in real summer temperature and this year March was in early spring mood but April is going on in its half way now but the temperature back to winter mood.....hmm, mother nature are you getting younger or getting confuse :o? but no matter what you are as beautiful as always.

What left from March

2008-04-08T15:49:00.006+02:00

Here are some others result which I've taken from the balcony at the very late snow fall that I have posted in the end of March. Actually, in northern part of Germany has just had unexpectedly heavy snow in April!

The beauty of white

2008-03-31T15:31:00.012+02:00

Today post is definitely not related to what I have posted previously. Like it says, "beauty last not forever" and that was happened last week in where we live. Suddenly, everything turned white and beauty when no one here would expected. Especially, when I did posted that Spring came earlier this year. I like this photo which I took in my neighborhood for the moment of beauty that not last even for a day. Please, take a look in HERE for more photos of beautiful moment when snow finally fallen in Cologne.

Spring comes earlier

2008-03-19T19:41:00.005+01:00

Here's the result of this year early Spring which recorded by my digital eyes at my place.The Cheery blossom and Magnolia are my favorites spring creatures (allow me to called that way) and the yellow beautiful bushes (please,allow me again) is also my favorite one. I wish if they will never turn to be only leafs...I wish if spring will last forever...I wish if flowers would never die...I wish,I wish...I could only wish...at least the date on these photos were not something that I could only wished for but it is for real to ensure the actuality of mother nature age which I found somehow getting younger ;o) No need Botulinum Toxin then.....Know what I meant? :o)

Tequila

2008-02-28T15:58:00.009+01:00

I can't believe that my "Tiger" is so "Dirty". Wish that I can just use these bounce of one of nature advantage which I snapped in Barcelona's public market as a cleaner but I have to bear to clean it without any of exist cleaner method when I wish that I can still operate my "Tiger" in its proper capacity and operation to serve my needs. Well,at least today photo can relief my eyes from staring to much at my "Tiger" lately this month.

2007-12-14T20:40:00.001+01:00

2007-10-08T16:20:00.001+02:00

Since I'm counting the day for my annual visit to my beautiful tropical country,I decided to post something related to it.For those who originally from the same country like me will set a smile when they read what written on this T-Shirt and I don't think it will be still funny if I translate it...and hope my fellow people think,it's funny as I do...Oops ;o) Photo taken in The Hague when visited the annual "Pasar Malam Besar"
