Zu alt, um nur zu spielen. Zu jung, um ohne Wunsch zu sein.

Threesomes

The rule of three is not something that comes naturally to me. I had a hard time going through my old photos and look where editing might help. I’ve come up with two completely different kinds of shot.

A toothy perspective

And while I was remembering Munich yesterday, here is the statue of Bavaria – the lady and her lion who each year (except for this one) overlook the Oktoberfest at the Theresienwiese.

play list?

I don’t really have a playlist of favourite songs as such. If I need a pick-me-up I rather go to books or films. Last week I linked one of my favourite TV scenes ever on this blog and I do so again. It is when the eleventh doctor (from Doctor Who if anybody needs this additional information) and Amy Pond take Vincent van Gogh, who thinks his paintings are worthless and just generally questions his talents, to a gallery in his future (our present) featuring his paintings. Bill Nighy is giving a rhapsodic speech about van Gogh’s art and Vincent is overwhelmed listening to it. It moves me every time.

A screenshot of the scene. Vincent is hugging the museum guide.

Otherwise, although I sing badly (and having been told so often) I like sing-a-longs with friends, the louder and the bawdier, the better. The latter is the reason why I don’t publicise my playlist.

Alone

or possibly, quite crowded:

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”

Walking Man

The Walking Man walks in Munich alongside the Leopoldstraße. I have to add non-square photos of the sculpture by Jonathan Borofsky to do it justice, though.

The photos were taken on the same day but taken from different sides excluding or including the greenery which makes for a completely different perspective.
