“Appropriately” on the Blog Action Day about the environment, now also E.ON, who provide me with electricity, too (and, after all, have not raised their tariffs this year), announced increases by an average of about 10% (in Bavaria).

Maybe an eco tariff won’t be bad, there seem to be some which are relatively low. (Yes, environmental protection that costs nothing or little is still the most successful kind…)

Luckily, you don’t get all 44032×14848 pixels at once, but only a small detail at a time, whose tiles are loaded dynamically. In total, for a typical monitor resolution of 96 dpi, this results in a picture with a total length of 11,65 meters – a little small for a Blue Whale who has, according to Wikipedia, an average length of 26m, but still remarkable and – if it’s a smaller, younger animal – quite life-sized…

photos of Pfaffenhofen/Ilm, Germany, and the landscape in the surrounding area. Enjoy!
