That's why a picture says more than 1000 words :-)

…My heart’s in Accra » The connection between cute cats and web censorship:
So while Flickr should be used for displaying pictures of cute cats, it’s also proved an effective tool for avoiding keyword filtering. Activists in China are using Flickr to disseminate images that contain words that get blocked by keyword filters - a simple tool built by Zhang Erning allows a photo of Einstein at a blackboard to be annotated with arbitrary text that won’t be blocked by the Chinese firewall. You can post videos of the Star Wars kid on YouTube… but you can also post videos of Zimbabwean labor activists being beated by government thugs. Twitter lets Robert Scoble tell me what he’s doing 200 freaking times a day… but it also lets me know whether Egyptian activists have been released from the police station when they go in for questioning.

Agaricus Muscarius

What a pleasent surprise this weekend in Netro: a huge colony of Agaricus Muscarius. (The pics are taken with Treo 600)

Street fashion

pictures taken on my last visit to Tokyo, awful fotos but good people.

Mein Schulweg

The streets I walk from home to office.

ristoranti e bar

This is Roberta. But the Album is not about her. It's about Restaurants and Bars. The pics have been taken by accident. In the future I'll try to show Chefs, Owners (capital C and capital O) in their places. And some coeaters as well. This shall not be a guide.

Turkey, Gulf of Gocek

We 8 people rented a spacious gùlet with a crew of 3 and traveled along the costa turchese from Bodrum to Gocek. If I would kick in a few pictures from the caribbian islands,norway, scotland and the lakes of Engadin you would note the difference only for the absence of ships, houses and poeple. Might well be one of the last onspoiled coasts. Food is fine, too. And it's certainly not expensive.

maroc

Let us start in Marrakesh in Jardin Majorelles because Morocco is about colours, mainly.

Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara

In 2001 we passed 2 weeks in Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara. This picture is taken from a shop window. The shop sells sweets, something like tiny chocolate balls. Yes.

Netro

Netro is a 800 people village about 80 minutes from Milan. I pass there a good part of the year in a house which is half an hour by foot from the village. My neighbours are cows, goats, and a few biz consultants. The beasts are fenced out, the houses are lost in the woods. This is the street leading to our house.

I, Hans.
