The Dallas Arts District’s One Arts Plaza as seen from a sidewalk adjacent to the nearby HALL Arts.

The reason will be revealed in my next upload.

for another night out

Wanted to just get a shot of the sidewalk when someone suddenly pedaled by at the moment I pressed the shutter.

An somehow classic, silhouetted view towards the staircase of one of the new office buildings at Munich Werksviertel at closing time. I was a little lucky with the person passing by as the lights in the staircase went off every few minutes :)

I like the capture due to its clear lines and simplicity. I hope you like it, too :)

Munich Werksviertel, Bavaria, Germany

On our small photo walk, we passed this underground car park entrance. I really liked the light and atmosphere in it.

Hope you like it, too :)

Looking Close On Friday-Orange Colour

I have never used this chalk, it's only for photographing.

The two singing accordionists made me smile immediately when I was passing by: their music sounded so happy and they had an impressive presence. The lady in front of me must have felt in a similar way!

I kinda liked the photo as it radiates the vibe of this unique moment :)

Munich City Center

when I walked back to the hotel after enjoying my dinner, I spotted this beautifully tiled sidewalk, cleaned up for the night.

There are only a few of such beautiful in the streets of the heritage district George Town. This one id to complete my sidewalk series from Penang.

Sidewalk threw an ecological park abandoned for the year due to flooding. Heavy rains this year left many of the lakes and reservoirs in Kansas swollen. The recreational activities they are known for and the dollars they bring to local communities have been severely limited. As the water recedes I explore.

Paris, France. Need I say more? Shot at Cafe Deux Magot on the left bank with the Olympus E-M1.

Taken near Times Square in NYC. So much to see in NYC. Even the sidewalks interested me.

Resilient little thing, just popped up in my neighbour's pavement.

"Spiegel der Geschichte"

An der Stelle des ehemaligen Wohnhauses der beiden jüdischen Familien Levi und auf einer Achse der Erinnerung zur jüdischen Gedenkstätte in der Zeyherstraße entstand im Januar 2013 die von dem Künstler Matthias Braun aus Würzburg geschaffene Gedenkstätte "Spiegel der Geschichte". Vier lebensgroße Menschensilhouetten aus spiegegelpoliertem Edelstahl stellen eine Familie und eine Einzelperson in der typischen Kleidung der 1940er Jahre dar. Sie sind durch Flucht, Vertreibung und Verfolgung in Bewegung. Auf den Figuren spiegelt sich der Ort wider, an dem damals Unrecht geschehen ist. Zugleich erkennt der Betrachter darin sein eigenes Spiegelbild und wird in das Geschehen zur Zeit des Nationalsozialismus hineingezogen. Vergangenheit und Gegenwart werden so miteinander verknüpft und der Bertrachter versteht, dass jeder jederzeit zum Opfer werden kann.

Eine Gedenktafel mit Namen ergänzt die Gedenkstätte und nennt die derzeit bekannten Todesopfer, darunter Personen, die wegen ihres Judenseins, wegen ihrer Behinderung, ihrer politischen oder regimekritischen Einstellung, als Zwangsarbeiter, als soziale Außenseiter, wegen ihrer sexuellen Ausrichtung oder aufgrund menschlicher Willkür verfolgt wurden und zu Tode gekommen sind.

I kind of liked the quite strict composition of the lines in this one. And there is a little detail I recognized after taking the shot: I got busted! The man passing by watched me closely in the reflection of the window pane. Hi there! :)

In a prior version of the image (in post production), I also created a version with a corrected perspective in order to get an even cleaner look. But then I decided to go for the more summery, analogue and grainy look, where - in my taste - the slight lens distortion fits in quite nicely.

I hope, you like it, too!

Stay home, stay safe, stay healthy!
