Last days to visit the junkyard in Kaufdorf

Last 2 weekends I have been visiting the unique junkyard in Kaufdorf (Switzerland).

The junkyard is open till Sunday Oct. 12th, for information and coordinates in German click here. These are the last days till closure which, probably will be a final closure.

The results of my visit can be found in a slide show on this website.

Some impressions not (yet) in the slide show:

Switzerland - Car Dump (New Gallery)

I am productive these days. Yesterday I was in a junkyard in Kaufdorf (Switzerland) where cars where "collected" since 1933. The result can be seen in a new gallery.

Raining day with some inspiration

Today it was a rainy day in France, I only went out to the garden to see if everything was ok there.

I found some inspiration and took some photographs...

Guatemala - Antigua (New Gallery)

The gallery made available today is a collection of photographs taken in La Antigua Guatemala. This was the former capital of Guatemala. in the 18th century there were nice baroque churches and other buildings. Unfortunately the location of La Antigua was from a geographical perspective not optimal.

The gallery tells and visualizes what happened and how it looks today.

Last Saturday

One photograph from last Saturday.




Ecomusee - Ungersheim




The photographs of last days were made at the Ecomus?e in Ungersheim Alsace, France. In this open-air museum there are various buildings and a mine with industrial buildings. The latter however currently is closed, it looks like a highly interesting left space.

A second view

In last Saturday's post I was somewhat disapointed about the catch of that day... I took some time to look at the thirty keepers and converted some of them to black and white.



Well, it is not too bad (I think). Here two more from an very old car with some problems with the paint.

Just another shot from the same car.

Having a second look at the material did work out, what do you think?
