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.

Links of the Week (2008/11)

Short and sweet:

Dieser Beitrag ist unwichtig

Another German blog baton I’m too lazy to translate…

Nadine hat mir ein Stöckchen zugeworfen, in dem man 6 unwichtige Dinge/Gewohnheiten/Macken nennen soll – nun gut, wer verschwendet nicht ab und zu Zeit mit Unwichtigem? ;)

  • Ich trag ’ne Brille. Okay, die ist für mich nicht unwichtig, aber als Information für andere, darum geht’s ja hier.
  • Meine Bettwäsche ist 155×220 cm² groß.
  • Ich hab in fast jedem Zimmer mindestens 1 Thermometer (meist ein Kombigerät mit Uhr).
  • Ich schalte viele meiner elektrischen Geräte (TV, Verstärker etc.) mit Steckdosenleisten mit einzelnen Schaltern für jeden Topf einzeln ein und aus.
  • Mein Blog wurde vorgestern 555 Tage alt.
  • Mir geht langsam der Platz in meinem Arbeitszimmer aus…

Und gleich an sechs Leute soll man das Stöckchen weiterwerfen – wen nehmen wir da? Julia, Katja und ihr Alien, Prinzzess, Alex, Pas und Sebastian, wenn ihr Lust habt (und es nicht schon hattet und ich das übersehen hatte)…

Projekt 52 Week 11: My route to work

The topic of week 10 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

My route to work, school etc.

Well, what can you show when you’re working at home? First I thought I’d just take a closeup of my floor, but that would be too boring… and I don’t have a nice staircase like Cindy either on the way to my desk. So in the end, I picked this:

11: My route to work

Week 11: My route to work

View from my corridor to the right part of my desk – the PCs are behind the corner.

But that’s all out of focus!

  • That’s intentional.
  • See sharp in the morning??
  • And it fits to the question “What will the work day bring?”

Pretty low point of view!

  • Well, I can only drag myself crawling to work in the morning.

(No, the “answers” aren’t all serious. :mrgreen: )


Projekt 52 Week 10: Architecture

The topic of week 10 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

Architecture

Well, Pfaffenhofen doesn’t have that many eye-catching modern architecture, the main square (which has some nice old-style buildings, including the town hall) are a big construction site right now, and I didn’t want to take some photos from the archive such as the Neue Messe Stuttgart (whose parking garage I had used for a picture riddle) or the new shopping mall in Heilbronn which was almost finished last Christmas.

So I chose these two pictures:

The “House of Meeting” at the western end of the main square in Pfaffenhofen – with library, gallery, tourist office and music school.
