Throwback Jan 22, 2019. A narrow parking backyard in some odd Munich hotel. Somewhat recent past compared to other old posts in here, yet from a different life. Annual kick-off event with my former company. The usual conflicting sentiments of having a good time with some great colleagues while general structure and mood in the organization already was deterioriating back then. (And, remember diving into a wholly different kind of darkness all along a lengthy conversation with the night porter in that particular place. It doesn't get more "gothic" than that.)

A narrow backyard with empty parking lots, walls, snow. There are a few windows alight, but most of the setting is night.

Throwback Jan 19, 2014. Apparently a Sunday, but I don't really remember the place to encounter this visual perspective. Most likely some Dresden museum. Always had a thing for such views. Originally on Instagram.

Lightbulbs hanging from a ceiling in the midst of a concrete staircase.

Throwback Jan 10, 2017. Commuting to work. We apparently used to have snow back then, in what seemed a pretty grey and gloomy day too.

Snow-covered river banks, black trees on the right side, Elbe and old buildings on the left. Traces of bicycles in the snow, a wide lane, and a single cyclist departing from that lane to the right.

Throwback Dec 16, 2010. Initially posted to Facebook, just the late months before this channel lost most of what once made it inspiring and creative. Originally a series labeled "Grenzland", spanning some more shots, taken with the utterly crappy Palm Pre camera, all of them containing the text "/b/orders" for reasons not subject to explanation anymore. Maybe a good memory while into finally getting rid of Facebook altogether. Borders aren't where one ends, borders might also be where there's room for growth. 

A wire fence, snow and dried plants.

Deep snow, a wire fence and an abandoned gate right through.

Window of a workshop, brightly lit. Icicles growing down.

Sunrise and snow in a living area. A flat modern building on the right, parking cars and highrises on the left

Throwback Dec 8, 2012. What seems to have been a frosty winter morning. The building on the right, socialist modernism in slow decay, back then only contained a bunch of smaller stores, a walk-in laundry service and a carpenter workshop. And disappeared a couple of years later, making room for a discounter superstore and parking lots. Time passes, and structures change, not necessarily for the better.

Throwback Dec 7, 2014. Most likely on the St. Nicolas Christmas Market that used to happen once every year in Dresden, at least until the pandemic struck. (Initially posted to Facebook. Interesting to browse through the old comments, nine years later, and the profiles that left them. Seems at some point everyone over there turned into a quiet left-open account and public sink for annual birthday wishes but without further activity or interaction.)
