Time (Projekt 52/02) and God and anyway…

by cimddwc · 2009-01-12

Nice occasion to combine two topics in one post… The topic of week 2 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

Time

Topic 02: Time

“Consider that death does not hesitate!” – that’s what the entry to Pfaffenhofen’s cemetary says. So make the best of your life, time’s limited! As also the atheist campaign with ads on busses in London (and elsewhere) says: “There’s probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” And there are plans these days to start such a campaign in Germany, too (about which also sapere aude notified me); the German version of the slogan is still being discussed.

Coordination is done on the German Brights-Blog, who will also add the possibility to support this campaign with donations.

Projekt 52 topic 01: Your town

by cimddwc · 2009-01-06

The topic of week 1 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

Your town

That is, my town, not yours – and since using one’s archives is explicitly allowed this year, I’ll start doing so six times:

Topic 01: Your Town

Let’s have a look at the sky – and at this little collage: Pfaffenhofen town hall tower in the center, its spire in the upper left corner; bottom left: gargoyle on church steeple and May pole top; bottom right: small vane on a Main Square house and the golden vane on the church steeple.

Proportions are a little off, and the arrangement more than a little, of course.

(I’d bet that this collage might fit a future topic even better…)

Cold

Especially when the cold wind can blow without any obstacles. The camera still wanted to get used…

Finally a look at Pfaffenhofen’s town hall through the 14 newly planted little plane trees that are supposed to put some green on the main square some time in the distant future…

Safer than the Stock Exchange!

by cimddwc · 2008-10-10

Thanks a lot to the book store/office supplies/lotto retailer Pesch for this investment tip!

Spielt Lotto - Lotto ist sicherer als die Börse!!!

Translation: “Play Lotto – Lotto is safer than the stock exchange!!!”

I immediately followed that recommendation and invested all the money I had left thanks to this financial crisis into four lotto tips. I’ll report tomorrow night after the drawing what the result is. Keep your fingers crossed for me, throw salt over the shoulder, knock on wood, whatever brings luck!

Note: From a legal point of view, this is no investment advice, you’re responsible for your money yourself. Or what was that standard phrase again…?

Fire theater

by cimddwc · 2008-10-05

“The history of Pfaffenhofen interpreted by pyrotechnic virtuosi” – that was the description of the fire theater by MillenniumVision last night. Even though you sometimes didn’t see much when some performers were dancing in the fireworks’ smoke in relative darkness (and photographing fireworks when standing in the crowd doesn’t yield that many noteworthy results either), but I still got a few photos for you:

Monks inflated somewhat Ku-Klux-Klan-esque white pointed hats or breathed fire…

…a lovely maiden performed a ribbon dance and a tenor sang:

In between a look at the elements around the area1 – and then on to the ignition of the town hall, luckily just a frame structure with foils and not the real one:
