Happy Anniversary, Kaleidoscope Eyes!
It's been exactly one year today that I started my daily photoblog. 365 days, 365 photo posts and about as many comments, give or take.
I felt some pressure to choose a picture every day which is good as well as bad. Good, because I was actually forced to publish something for every day. And bad because I sometimes had the impression that the quality suffered from the quantity.
One year worth of pictures! Visitors from all over the world (ok, not quite but from five out of seven continents - thank you, guys!), yes, I've been watching you - scroll down to the bottom of the site if you want to know more. There are some countries on the list where I don't even know people. That brings me to a question: those who don't know me personally (or something to that effect) - how did you come across my blog? And I would like to ask you all to do me a favour: Please pick your favourite picture of the whole year and tell me which one it is! I would really appreciate it :-)
So on this memorable day, I am going to change the concept of my blog. From a daily photoblog, Kaleidoscope Eyes is going to turn into a weekly blog. Instead of one picture a day, I will publish a series of photos about once per week, always in a specific theme. This is starting tomorrow with some of the photos I took at the "Proyecto Destinotango" show on Sunday.
And the last "daily photo" is one of my favourite themes: sunsets.

1:25
I took the picture of these water lilies in Mini-a-thuer where everything is scaled 1:25. Now imagine that the flowers are, too...

Friends...
... come in all shapes, colours and ages - here 89. This wonderful lady is my latest one. Her name is Ruth, she is my parents' neighbour. I've known her for a few years and since my dad's birthday last week, we are on a du-base, we are friends.
PS: The post-processing I did here was adjusting the contrast, smoothing out the wrinkles a little and sharpening for the net.

The sky is the limit
This is the Ark Nebra building, near the place where the so called Sky Disc, "the oldest visual representation of the cosmos ever discovered to date", was found. The outer shape of the bulding symbolises the form of an ark made from gold:

Miniature world
Last week, I saw all of Thuringia in one (admittedly terribly rainy) day, in Mini-a-Thuer, a theme park that exhibits 92 famous Thuringian buildings and their inhabitants:

This is the miniature version of Point Alpha, the war memorial that was "NATO`s most important sentinel during the Cold War":

Le jardin est tout vert*
Although this is a photo I took at the palace gardens in Würzburg, I read the headline on a café's signboard in Brussels. I found it original because it says "the garden is all green" but when I read it out loud, it sounded like all the lines at all the signs during the summer: "le jardin est ouvert" (the garden is open). So, intentional or misspelling?

These feet are made for walking...*
E. made his first really independent step on the last day I was visiting in Brussels, and I took this photo just a day or two before, him sitting in his pram:
* And here the soundtrack to the picture.

The last four Musketeers
On Saturday, I was at my first Polyglot meeting ever, in Brussels. I met a bunch of people, chatted in several languages, even Dutch after a long time (thanks Corina and Yuri!) and had a ton of fun. The meeting started at 7 p.m. and after 1 a.m., these four and I were the last remaining musketeers:
