Sometimes we finally must turn a page in our life, even if we don't want to, even if what we wished to have was something completely different. It doesn't matter that we know that it will be better like this - sometimes we just keep on hoping, like little children. And even though we saw it coming, in that moment, every breathe is like burning air

Take Me As I Am

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

Take me as I am let me be a twist

A carefree word here to adhere

For knitting down the gist

Inside heart-roots gone austere

Like a love that begins from inside

And brings out a beautiful bright

Like a ray that in a shade might hide

Or a beam in an evening's flight

Give same love life’s giving about

Though sideways are with bare trees

And the morning is still in its doubt

For the coming of summer's breeze

Cologne Panorama (360 degrees!) by Ben Heine

868 216

NEW: I'm now making music, JOIN ME ON SOUNDCLOUD!

Prints of the above panorama now available for sale!

You can view 3 details (close ups) at this link. The original photo is really big (almost 20.000 pixels wide!) because I assembled more than 30 photos.

3 days of intense work to make this huge panorama of Cologne, Germany's fourth-largest city. This is a 360 degrees view, I tried to get as many details as possible, sometimes repainting different parts of the cityscape. I took all of them from the top of "KölnTurm" when I was in Germany 2 weeks ago... (I didn't use any autopano or fisheye).

More facts: The city's famous Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) is the seat of the Catholic Archbishop of Cologne. The University of Cologne (Universität zu Köln) is one of Europe's oldest universities.

Cologne is a major cultural center of the Rhineland and has a vibrant arts scene. Cologne is home to more than 30 museums and hundreds of galleries. Exhibitions range from local ancient Roman archeological sites to contemporary graphics and sculpture. The Cologne Trade Fair hosts a number of trade shows such as Art Cologne, imm Cologne International Furniture Fair and the Photokina. Cologne is also well-known for its celebration of Cologne Carnival, the annual reggae summerjam, and Cologne Gay Pride.

Within Germany, Cologne is also known as an important media center. Several radio and television stations, including Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR), RTL and VOX, have their headquarters in the city.

Thanks a lot for your kind comments.
