Klickeradoms!

When you’re already annoyed by the demolition work across the street – the old Amberger cinema, later “Ilmgau-Großmarkt” and part of the department store, part of the building group which I had shown before for the Projekt 52 topic “Contemporary witness” – (German newspaper article), you can at least try to make the best out of it: a few photos ;) (click for larger versions):

Poke here a little…

Klickeradoms 1.1

…push there a little…

Klickeradoms 1.2

…and away with this obstructive construction.

Klickeradoms 1.3

Now it’s time for the wooden ventilation shaft!

Klickeradoms 1.4

Oops, only the front part came loose…

Klickeradoms 1.5

But now!

Klickeradoms 1.6

Away with it…

Klickeradoms 1.7

…and…

Klickeradoms 1.8

…the next section falls!

Klickeradoms 1.9

And now the last section of the roof, shown in photos with a little over 1 second between (the camera made more, of course, but I don’t want to overdo it too much here…):

Klickeradoms 2.1 Klickeradoms 2.2 Klickeradoms 2.3 Klickeradoms 2.4 Klickeradoms 2.5 Klickeradoms 2.6 Klickeradoms 2.7 Klickeradoms 2.8 Klickeradoms 2.9

It kept hanging like this for a while until the “claws” tore at it once more…


PS: The post title “Klickeradoms!” is a German sound word invented by Dr. Erika Fuchs, the great German Disney translator, for objects falling down, hitting the ground and usually breaking into pieces. Isn’t that prettier than e.g. the usual “Thud!” in English? :mrgreen:

Projekt 52 week 13: Show me your feet

The topic of week 13 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

Show me your feet
I love feet photos, I think they are ingenious, showing the world from a completely different point of view. […] – examples.

Well, such feet photos that have been showing up on other blogs from time to time never did anything for me. But for the sake of completeness – not to skip a week of this project ;) – there you are:

13: Show me your feet

Week 13: Show me your feet

My feet in warm socks.


Projekt 52 week 12: Childhood memories (part 1)

The topic of week 12 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

Childhood memories

Well, this of course also means toys, and in my case especially Lego! I never cared much about the age specification, ;) though with the years it became more and more like “construct → let it stand somewhat like a model → reconstruct”, without playing with it in other ways – and at one point, of course, “deconstruct and put away”.

But not everything: My favorite series always were the blue space ships with yellow windowsm and in various shapes, a collection of bricks survived the times, for some years now in a combination of which this shows some detail:

12: Childhood memories (1)

Week 12: Childhood memories (1)

A Lego spaceship in closeup – who wants can imagine about the brave commander, ready to fly his space cruiser out of the space station’s dock (bright as the background is, this can’t be in empty space), on to new adventures… but to me in later years, such stories were irrelevant, it was just about the construction of the ships…



The attentive reader will have noticed the “part 1” in the title – that’s right, in a few days, part 2 will follow with an early favorite garment of mine which is at my parents’ whom I’ll visit at easter…

Update: » Here’s part 2.
