I feel like autumn leaves - suspended....

Some days, I am suspended in glorious happy red Indian summer light

Others, in misty, moody, sad and slightly humid 'Octember' fizzle

Then, suddenly, the mood changes for a BRILLIANT moment of pure happiness,

my heart is standing on its toes, the arms of my soul reaching up to heaven

feeling the greatness of just being alive, well, healthy and able to feel, taste, see, wonder....

The leaves of this tree, I'll never forget them - they change colours within one day, they turn yellow, red and brown within hours, depending on the weather.

You can touch them - ONCE....

Then, the leaves simply fall off the twigs, you are left with an empty stick of no beauty and no nothing....

Life feels - sometimes - a bit like that too.... you wonder, are you holding on to an empty stick or are you touching the utter beauty and pure wonder of something incredibly beautiful and precious.

The choice is ours.

The short end of this long story is that my computer is definitely DEAD.... Not surprising really, it lasted well over 5 years, a long time in computer age... and with the more and more exhaustive and complex programmes I charged my poor little tower, it gave in and up.... RIP.

The downside is that I am just very occasionally at my Hero Husband's ancient, tiny laptop, still from our days in England, no French accents, none of my so sophisticated language control programmes, no Email addresses ready to just click on them, all my bookmarks lost in never-ever-land.... and YESsir..... I HAVE everything on an external harddisk but that one has fallen out of its protective casing and God alone knows when and if I can get it moving back in again....

One bad thing normally never comes alone and I faithfully follow the path of Murphy's law!

Looking at this delicate 'see-through' autumnal dress of the finest layers, I can however only be happy and cheerful, after a lousy week of November feelings we enjoyed a pretty good Friday and a brilliant warm and sunny Saturday, so Sunday will be alright too......

Wishing you much patience; I am back and commenting when and if I can - but I also have a life to live and the time I am not able to spend at my 'typewriter', I spend raking bagfulls of dry autumn leaves, I even found myself today with husband and two 'artisans' who worked on our house for six weeks at the large table on the terrasse - cheerfully eating a thrown together lunch and drinking some carefully chosen wine (that's a private tip, never mind what you serve to eat, serve an excellent wine and everybody is happy.....). Time passed in a flurry and we had supper in our veranda, with 12 candles lit and a nice English table lamp nearby, all my hanging and standing flower pots around us in their beauty and still full of blooms..... GOD, I lead a protected and wonderful life.

Cheers all - spend your Sunday in peace and happiness.....

I am struggling to think which photos I will miss most if the photos in my broken harddisk cannot be salvaged. There are probably thousands of them. I have been to many places in the past 10 years. Several trips to London, Rome, Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Osaka, Tokyo, Seoul, Kota Kinabalu, Tahiti, Bora Bora, Sydney, Brisbane, Beijing, Shanghai, Bangkok, Yunnan, Maldives and probably many more.

What about you? Can you tell which 3 photos you would like to salvage at all costs?

Pretty organized for a student workspace, right? :-)

I have to say that I love this setup. The desk was custom made and it has many in-built features. It really helps to get things done.

Take a look how it looks at night.

Apple Hard Disk 20SC and Apple Tape Backup 40SC.

Das Wetter ist zwar zur Zeit nicht regnerisch, aber ich kann mich nicht auffraffen, ein paar Bilder draußen zu machen. Deshalb noch mal was von meiner Festplatte/Harddisk aus den letzten Jahren.

EOS 40D, EF 2,8/100mm, f8, ISO 100, 1/250 Sek., MT-24EX Makroblitz

Probably one of the most obscure and controversial pieces of Canon camera related equipment of the last 20 years. The Media storage M80.

Powered by a BP-511 battery, it allows to backup files from CF and SD cards, to it's internal 80GB 1.8" 4200 rpm harddisk. A 3.7"display allows for viewing the images.

Introduced in 2006, and discontinued shortly after, since the arrival of netbooks and tablets with more internal storage, and larger/cheaper cards made it obsolete.

just found this shot on my office harddisk.

took this one last summer on the wall of our office building during a cigarette break.

Disassembled an old hard drive that had failed. Always wanted to shoot the platters and head stack. These things have a nearly perfect mirrored surface, of course, which allows for some possibilities.

The real original is 18 megapixels (not uploaded here on Flickr), but it's still cool larger.

A very colourful cover for my new portable harddisk!! Blogged here.

Easter 2006 - out on a tour at "Gemmi" in the Bernese Oberland. Weather wasn't good all four days. That afternoon, after returning from Daubenhorn I sat outside on the Guesthouse's terrace enjoying the "view" into the thick wall of fog. It seems that sometimes, I need a impenetrable barrier hiding the impressive sceneries to start discovering the little miracles around myself - such as these little droplets on the aluminum tables ...

My laptop crashed tuesdayevening, had some troubles before but now it really died.

We set my harddisk over in another laptop and I'm back on the world wide web!

We capture moments to remember

Capture them to share

Capture them to store away

To recall another day

We use more and more devices

To capture moments aplenty but forget

Memories are not written on hard disks

Memories are written in our hearts
