I'm afraid my (dare I say) SG friend @wolfetone11 will regret having tagged me with this quiz, as my replies are on the boring side:
1. Any travel, vacation or holiday plans for summer?
We usually avoid Summer vacations and instead take them in late Spring or early Fall; we had a short one in early July this year, and will have two weeks in...

@kaicito do you have a humidor situation going on? I think we can definitely get Cuban here as there's no trade embargo. Sumatran does sound more exotic however...
kaicito:
@deesilvs No humidor, my consumption of cigars is really too rare for that. Having said that, I recently bought a box of 25, which should last me at least half a year... and at that rate, the last ones may be dried out before I can smoke them...

Who else loves dragonflies? I must admit they are among my favorite insects, and I'm fascinated by the way they hover and dart around. And then there's Evinrude, a minor yet beloved character from Disney's The Rescuers.

Today, as I was walking through a busy (and drug dealer infested) Berlin park, scanning the ground for coins as usual, I happened to see the unusual sight...

I love walking the streets of Berlin and taking pics of the large and small murals and other street art, so I thought I'd share a few of them since I haven't posted anything in a while:

Gee, @ferkixlll nominated me, so I guess I'll have to... here go 20 questions and my less-than-spectacular (but honest) answers:

1. What food do you crave most often?
I don't really crave any food, being of the "we eat to live, not live to eat" school. That said, I have to admit to a craving for potato chips (strictly Lay's for me) every now and...

Just had to post this lovely shot (not by me) of my beautiful hometown, Düsseldorf, the Big D (sorry Dallas). Actually, Düsseldorf itself is in the background (that's the city's TV tower smack in the center).

Update: couldn't resist adding this timely shot of downtown with the Christmas skating rink at center

@ferkixlll I haven't seen it this way before, but from now on I will. Also an even better interlanguag pun would be "HeiRATen im RAThaus" = getting married in the town hall ...

Had the day off for a little cultural sightseeing here in Berlin. Went to see the Futurium, created as a lab for the future, with an overload of information and many hands-on exhibits, and then on to an art show in a church, where the paintings (by German neorealist painter Norbert Bisky were hung under the roof - still have a cramp in my neck...

As mentioned in a previous post, I recently spent a week in the Northern Italian city of Turin, or Torino, and here I am to give a pictorial recap of those days. Most people will know Turin, if at all, as the home of soccer giant Juventus, but it has many more charms - in fact, it turned out to be one of our favorite...

@hiptobes It's part of the artwork scattered on the palace grounds and gardens... I have to admit I didn't find out at the time, but I have "researched" and find it's by the Italian sculptor Fabio Viale, who does classical torsos with tattoos. http://www.fabioviale.it/

Happy Springtime Fertility-based Chocolate Consumption Holiday, everyone!

Thank you, kind sir. Half a litre of chocolate ice cream last night seems to fit.

I've been sick at home with a persistent cold for a week now, but today I stopped coughing just long enough to luxuriate in the splendors of the new set of @mimo as photographed by @saria - DINOSRAWR! And since cute and curvy always does it for me, I was in absolute heaven, even if Mimo looks young and edible enough to make me feel...
