extreme realism_ Museum Ludwig, Colonge

Untitled_ John De Andrea

(hyper-realist sculpture)

it was on display in the very corner of the museum Ludwig B1, directly linked to the stairs from the entrance.   walking down the stairs, the closer to the object, more difficult to tell it's real or false.  it is such a perfect match of realism and beauty.  i kept waiting for the two start breathing.

on the way to Gallery_ Germany

너무나 너무나 이뻤던 산책로.
이곳에 들어서면 누구든 시인이 될 것만 같아.
좀체 발길이 떨어지지 않아, 한참을 홀로 서성였던 곳.

ah,, lovely garden_ Germany

someday i would like to have this kind of the lovely green garden with an outlook over the smallish church spire.  on a fine day, i will read a book or handknit sweaters on the bench all day.  sometimes i will just enjoy the ringing of the church bell sitting in the garden.  it is such a pleasant thought that would happen. ^_^ 

the things i would like to have_ Germany

fish & chips_
the steamy hot mashed green pea was nicely salted and tasty.

***in the first day in Coventry, UK, when i went down to the city centre shopping mall looking for the cellphone roaming service. i asked to one of the staffs in the store, which bistro is good for lunch near the shopping mall, he highly recommended this local fish & chips dish.  he was right. i really enjoyed the food.

the smoking hot pitta bread was very chewy and yummy.

***hummus is a popular food throughout the Middle East and Israeli as well.
