To get some old stuff back on my new site, I just added some old photos to a page. Actually there are only ten of them, but you will see more there on your next visit.
In addition to this, I have another cool new plan for the near future in my list of dreams that have to be fulfilled. (People who don’t know Lithuania’s famous “Cepelinai“. It’s delicious and made of potatoes, meat, meat and yes… I think it’s typical for Lithuanian kitchens to add just a hint of meat to it.)

On my last day in Vienna I tried to take some shots of Vienna’s subway stations, which are controlled by hundreds of cameras - reminding me of George Orwell’s “1984″.
While I was taking the photos, I was listening to “Prodigy”, giving me the right feeling in the dark atmosphere of a subway station.
So, after I took some pictures, I just built up my tripod at another place to get some more. Suddenly a voice through the loudspeakers of the station advised me: “Photographing in the area of Vienna’s subway is only allowed with a permission of..” and so on. I was laughing, put the tripod in its bag and wanted to go, when a guy came to me, asking me: “Why do you take pictures of cameras?” (It was a “normal” guy, not one of the security-bigbrothers behind the camera-movie-screens) - I tried to explain it to him, and told him my thoughts about it. He didn’t really understand everything, and asked me: “Do you often take photos of cameras?” I tried to explain it once again, and asked him about his opinion, but he just answered: “To each his own”

On the 1st March I started a short trip to Slovak Republic and Austria. I spent two days in Bratislava, in a nice hotel named “Hotel Spirit“, having a Hundertwasser-style in its architecture and got by a hired car to Vienna which is only 60km away from Bratislava.
I tried to get a few photos for my portfolio with which I want to apply at some universities in Germany.
At the second day in Bratislava my sister, who is living and studying in Vienna and Stefan visited me, and spent one more night with me in Bratislava. On the next day we got to Vienna and had some nice evenings there.
Today I’m going to get back to Trier, or to Frankfurt/Hahn by plane. Hopefully it won’t be too snowy in Western Germany, so the plane will be able to go down this time at the right airport. On my trip to Latvia and Lithuania with Robert and we had to land in Koeln/Bonn, an airport, which is about 200km away from the one, where his car was situated. Ahh… yes, and we had to wait there about four hours to get our luggage… Thanks, Ryanair!
