These are beautiful, Ken.
Can you give us a better idea of what we’re looking at?

Hello Jr. Mom,
Might I mention that it is nearly peak foliage in the Ruhrgebiet? The train from Koeln to Heidelberg travels between the river and the mountainside. Reserve a window seat on the side that faces the River.
But where to start here? This is inside the Denk-mal für die ermordeten Juden Europas. The first picture looks out from the corner, onto the Hannah Arendt Strasse. Mehr darueber dies will ich dazeits nicht sagen.
This is also part of a larger intended series– I shot 963 frames inside the Denkmal, and while I’m often glad for 1 in 100, most may be useful. I also recorded audio. Normally I would not consider the post-production quality here ’sufficient,’ but this was intented as a glimpse.
Though frame 8 is a sort of ending, there is a ninth frame. However, I also shot another 2000 frames today, and would like to present a different post or two, given the day.
One could also begin a discussion of technology. What I’m doing here– nearly twenty years ago, I visited the Bauhaus and Speer sites with a Vietnam-era Nikkomax “heads-up,” which is still very good equipment for architectural and landscape photography today. But one only can afford so much film, and film is slow– slow to take, slow to develop…

I just learned that Nov. 9 was also the date of Kristallnacht, the Munich Beer Hall Putsch, and Kaiser Wilhelm’s abdication.
