On Saturday, the Taekwon-Do Center Saarland had a seminar for all Taekwon-Do students. Our grandmaster, Son Jong-Ho (7th Dan) was present and taught us some of his martial art techniques.
Loooots of rain again in Saarbrücken, and it seems like the snow is approaching us soon.
So sorry I couldn't post pictures for the past week, we had a conference at work, and I was involved in preparations and organisation.
Vird went on another excursion in Saarbrücken. This time, he went to the Saarbrücken East train station that is probably the most sprayed train station of Germany. All the walls are full of graffiti...
I'm afraid I'll be showing you plenty more autuum pics in the next time... I just love the beautiful colours nature shows us.
One of my favourite books and a must on my bedside table: "Die Luftgängerin" (Could probably be translated with "The Airwalker") by Robert Schneider.
Lovely autuum leaves on a clear blue sky of this lovely day today...
Stood behind this lorry at the traffic lights today. It's one of the lorries that collects the yellow bags containing our plastic recycling garbage.
I'm finally back from my holidays at Spain's beautiful Costa Blanca. Happy to be reunited with my king of the castle... =)
One of the biggest children's playgrounds in Saarbrücken.
A love relationship and a beer, please! (still)
Some tall old trees in the German-French garden of Saarbrücken.
The area of the train station in Saarbrücken.
They are going to build the Euro train statioin there, with the TGV leaving to Paris every few hours.
In the area in front of the Ludwigskirche are these wonderful white houses from the 18th century.
The baroque church Ludwigskirche was built in the 18th century.
Hahaha, supercute!
Two ducks following the road traffic regulations.
Sarrebruck is the French name for Saarbrücken.
The Alt-Neu-Gasse (Old-New-Alley) in Saarbrücken.
There are many tunnels around the area here, this one is the tunnel at the Ludwigskreisel.
Modernisme in Saarbrücken, Mainzerstraße.
A memorial helping to remind the people of the concentration camps during WWII.
Let's hope none of this will ever happen again.
We have a pet cemetery close to the French border.
There is a number of animal graves that are looked after with greatest care and lots of love...
Vird founded a Flickr group for the daily blog, allowing people to post pictures that may be used here. What a brilliant idea - thank you so much!
I robbed my piggy bank and finally managed to take the money to the bank today, to have it paid into my bank account. I've been wanting to do this for weeks now, and finally got to the bank early enough.
Oh look, it's cute and furry and big and fluffy and so funky... a caterpillar fell from the tree, so I picked it up to put it back there. It was still alive but I guess I scared it.
Wow, we've been to a live concert of one of my favourite bands today... Wir sind Helden (We are Heroes) from Berlin - it was brilliant, though I realised that my camera is not made for concert shots...
Oh, how I would love to have a balcony that high up, to look at the busy streets and its people, and lay there on my canvas chair enjoying the sun... =)
Another picture of twin parking meters... both expired even though cars were parking there... =)
You won't find many of those here, but in Mühlenstrasse I saw one... some of the old-style parking meters, now usually replaced by ticket machines that will print you a parking ticket.
Again an animal... this time on a smaller scale.
Saarbrücken celebrated its official Erntedankfest (Thanksgiving Festival) with the city full of informational booths and farm animals like these cute piglets.
This picture was taken by Jan Selmer of zeitensprung.de at the old cemetery at Deutschherrnpfad.
Another of Zippo's amazing pictures called "Saarvoir vivre?". Perfect title, perfect of a real "Saarbrigger" - nothing more to say. =)
Saarelibre aka Zippo allowed me to show you some of his amazing pictures, so here I go with the first one: morning for in the East of Saarbrücken.
One detail you will see twice a month in German cities are stacks of yellow bags. These contain all our plastic garbage that will be recycled.
Again, I saw some beautiful overgrown fairytale houses...
Around Ilseplatz, you can find many of those beautiful old and large villas.
You can see this house's style in several places in Saarbrücken.
Autuum, time of the pumpkins.
I saw this funky ice cream van today, superb colours, red and blue and yellow. The vendor was this nice Italian guy, smiling at me and the customers all the time, so it really felt like a great summer day again.
Well, at least some Saarbrücken inhabitants are happy about the rain... Unfortunately, with these temperatures, our last wonderful flowers might get a serious cold soon... =(
