    London – I’m coming…

    … soon. I got today my holiday acceptance – so next step will be booking a flight. I’m not really sure if I should use one of these cheap airlines or my “good old home sweet home” Lufthansa. But I should be able to solve this problem for my own. What’s not in my hands – how many people coming with me! Jade and Laura already promised to amuse me. I hope to see also Alfie, maybe Elli???, maybe Christina??? – Chris what’s up in Frankfurt??? (Haste Bock mitzukommen?)… I’m very sure to have an amazing week with a lots of hugs…

    Last but not least I promised to cut the picture from the post below a little bit more and here is the result. Also not bad but I’m not really sure if it is better – decide for yourself.

    Golden Section

    Do you know the feeling that something is not right but you don’t know exactly what it is? I had this feeling concerning one of my best African pictures. Now after hours of work I’m finally happy with the result. The solution was too obvious that I’m not hit on that earlier. With a consequent implementation of the golden section and symmetry the image looks much better (in my opinion). The two hours in PS painting a continuation of the sky was mere child’s play ;). So plz let me know how you think about the new one (left = old, right = new):

    Departures

    Hey everybody,
    today my Africa fever appears again. The reason for this is Scott Wilson and Justin Lukach. These two Canadian guys decided to travel 1 year around the world. Due to Scott’s job as a film producer they decided to make a documentary about their adventures.

    People like me, who have more wanderlust (*g* German origin) instead of home sickness, have to see this series. The pictures, the 2 guys, the music and of course the countries are unbelievable amazing. It is definitely the best travel documentary I’ve ever seen. If somebody could see this without thinking about doing the same, have serious mental problems. So check out the Website and try to see at least the first season.

    I’m watching now the second season and the episode today was about Zambia. The Vic. Falls, the laughing kids, animals and like us the wild water rafting… everything comes to my mind again. I miss Africa, the people, the sunsets with Graeme, the fun with all my girls, my tent with the tent rules and of cause our “matratzen”, the truck, Melissa’s happiness, my perfect British couple (love you both (22.01.2011)), my Norwegian Angel, even Daniel’s questions ;), of cause my Canadian man Tam, Ellis shorts, the sweet smile of Laura, CHRIS (maybe you can join my trip to London), ……… so much more AND last but not least my Streifenhörnchen and NO I do not know where she is right now ;).

    So let me end with a quote from Scott: “One day I hope to say that I’ve seen the world but that day is not here yet!”

    OH only 1111 days left :). Hmm maybe I should start packing ;).
