More great Architecture in Bonn

Posted in Trips 旅行, tagged , , on June 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

More photos of some nice buildings in Bonn. Most are about 100 years old, although I slipped in a picture of a newer house that I like just because of the solar cells on the roof . The last picture is of a really interesting door that belongs to one of the houses in [...]

Wind Turbines and Wildlife can co-exist!

I took this photo of Germany’s northern coast (near Lintelermarsch) on a seal watching boat tour. The wind turbines in the background are part of a massive wind turbine project in the area, including a floating wind farm project.

Hundertwasserhaus

Posted in Trips 旅行, tagged , , , , on March 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Very cool architecture in Vienna courtesy of Friedensreich Hundertwasser. I love all the trees growing inside and outside of this building in Vienna: Hundertwasser must have been ahead of his time… I think it is just recently that having trees growing out of / or on top of large buildings has become more commonplace. Hopefully the [...]

Superchurch (Stephansdom, Vienna)

Posted in Trips 旅行, tagged , , , on March 16, 2008 | 1 Comment »

I suppose no trip to Europe is complete without a cathedral visit or two. This being my first trip to Europe, I’ve been really impressed by the church architecture. Admittedly, all I can compare these churches and cathedrals to are the modern, ‘user-friendly’ structures in North America which may someday (in the distant future) be [...]

Beach Rock Village Revisited

A video from the top of a really cool tree house at Beach Rock Village. I should really become a hippie and retire there to a life of growing vegetables, snorkling and building & playing in treehouses. The food there was excellent as well… (video and image shamelessly stolen from Ellison’s blog)

Kyoichi Sawada / 沢田教一

Posted in Trips 旅行 on May 16, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

While at one of the great museums in Vietnam (the old American War Crimes Museum in Ho Chi Minh), I learned about the great photojournalist Kyoichi Sawada. I’m sure I’d seen his famous, Pulitzer Prize winning photo before, but I never knew the identity of the photographer.

Kyoichi Sawada covered the Vietnam war for about [...]
