Route 132 East, La Gaspésie, QC – Canada

Somewhere between Ste-Anne-des-Monts and Percé. Tiny villages, only few people, nothing really seems to happen here other than waves crashing at the shore… and many places are worn down or even abandoned.

Café des 2 Moulins, Montmartre, Paris – France

While visiting Paris for the third time, I finally went to discover some of the locations shown in one of my favourite movies, Le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain. Had to realize that none of them carries a special atmosphere… rather they would just sell “Fabuleux Crème Brulée” or “Amélie’s Whatever” and decorate the interior with kitsch and trash. Well, if I want to continue dreaming of the city Amélie lives in, I have to give the movie another watch ;)

Café Elise – Wuppertal, Germany

Finally picked up my recently exposed black&white roll of film. This picture shows details of a wonderful and magical place – in reality everything in this café is pastel-coloured :)

Zeughaus, Mannheim

This and more stage models were shown at the “Zeughaus”, some weeks ago – like this one of Stefan. Small dreamworlds, nicely handcrafted.

Home Village

While the first flowers start to peek out for the warm rays of sun, I went for a short walk in my home village. This barn belongs to a house owned by one of my relatives, but she lives in a retirement home now. The property thus waits for someone to buy it – though it is already left uncared for in awhile.

a night illuminated from within… .”
