I've dropped off some old photos today; if you'd like to see some new ones check out my blog post from yesterday.

Have a nice weekend!

Another Day In Paradise

Picture taken one year ago in Lüneburg. The warmth of the sunlight between 4:30 and 5:30 in the afternoon is one of the things I love most about autumn... 

Blog post title taken from this awesome song by Phil Collins.

Now The Autumn Leaves Are Falling

The silent skies

An innocent heart

Holding the moment away

From time in the dark

All I see

All I know

Is touching the sacred earth

Ahd warming the hallowed ground

(Calum & Rory MacDonald)

Lüneburg, Germany. Late October 2010.

The weather's been good during the second half of the week... I went hiking a couple times... soon the trees will be naked and winter will knock on my door. November is going to be the busiest month of university this semester.

I found a great flat in Hamburg, which I'm going to share with two fellow students of mine. We shall sign the contract next week and move in on the 1st of December. It's a lovely, spacious apartment. Unfortunately, we'll have to paper and paint it ourselves. Some friends are going to come over to help us, so hopefully we'll be finished before I return to the UK for a couple days.

Have a nice weekend.

Another Saturday Night

Title taken from one of my favourite Cat Stevens songs.

As I mounted the winter tyres earlier this afternoon, my neighbour came over and told me this winter's supposed to come early, and it's gonna be even colder than the last. I've already planned a few short trips to beautiful places... and I'll take along a different friend on each trip, so it'll be more fun.

Check out these amazing photographs featured on the National Geographic Adventure site.

How Many Moons

Lüneburg, Germany. October 2010.

A vision I want to see
A vision far from the moon

This is the only road I know
This is the only golden river home
Don't let go
The road was long
Our steps were new
The storms of innocence
Strong and fresh they blew

Directions turned
Love changing hands
We stood like gods before
Our maps and plans
But all things must change
So don't look back

Just walk away

(C. & R. MacDonald - How Many Moons)
