Here’s a photo album from a recent visit to the “Form Follows Flower” exhibit currently running at the Kunstgewerbemuseum here in Berlin. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10215275692827725.1073741888.1296763730&type=1&l=058bb822ee

youtube: Rare Herbs
I managed to make an iMovie video that is the right length for the audio! Musings about rare herbs, garnished with some photos I took of sandalwood. Thank you for your patience as I learn the technical side. I think I may buy a microphone…
London and Barcelona/Midi-Pyréneés Photos
I went to London recently and just put up a photo album from the trip. I was all set to write a little post about the cultural similarities (besides English) that make London feel more like the States than like Germany and how I’ve had conversations with other Americans about this and so forth.

A visit to the Rhineland

Der Prignitz
I spent this past weekend in Der Prignitz, one of the most rural and undeveloped areas in Germany. I had intended to post from there. As it turned out there was no cell phone reception and the wireless was nonfunctional in the château where we were eating our meals. At Landhaus Bresch, where we…
