Vienna Granduer
In Vienna, you don’t feed the ducks. You feed the swans. These pics are from Mar 2008. Click here to see the entire Flickr album.
Graveyard in Salzburg
A couple pics of a graveyard in Salzburg, Austra that I took in Mar 2008 and never found time to post. I was staying with an intriguing couchsurfer who was academic by day and death metal goth by night. He influenced my dark, graveyard pics. Click here to see more in my Flickr album.
Toys of the inventors
Just wanted to throw a shout out to my couchsurfing friend who hosted me in Salzburg, Austria. Silviu, remember him? Not only has Silviu contributed to Billy’s cause (thanks again!), he’s also developed a pretty cool helicopter project called the JAviator. Both, to me, are true to the typical “couchsurfer” quality. Anyway, the JAviator is [...]
Might Crack a Smile…
I busted up laughing when one of my SE Asia travel buddies sent me this picture. Can you spot me? Yup, I’m the one that looks like a dead body slung over the back of the motorcycle. I think that was day four of our five-day guided moto trip through the mountains, villages, forests and [...]
Coincidences…
I had wanted to make this certain point in my discussions with Silviu: Too many coincidences have become entangled into the story of my life for me to actually consider them coincidences. Silviu is, as I mentioned before, is a self-professed atheist or agnostic (depending upon how you look at it). And, as I also [...]
Once Upon a Time…
…far far away, in the land of rolling hills and rocky cliffs, lived the Von Trapp family. Okay, okay. I know, my posts are enough of a novel as it is… But, Salzburg, the city that served as the storybook setting for the movie The Sound of Music is, well, something out of a storybook. [...]
Uninhibited African Beats
My head was still in a deep contemplative fog when I arrived in Graz, and that wasn’t a good mix for trying to find the connecting train from Graz to the small village outside of Graz where Claudia lives. Long story short, a major bout of absent-mindedness meant I added two hours to my journey [...]
The Grandeur of Vienna
It was late, half past eleven, when I finally met Vincenc in Vienna. So my first hours in that thriving city of European crossroads were spent getting acquainted with Vincenc while he and I scurried about in the windy chill of the night, catching the various trams and busses we needed in order to find [...]
Making the Most of the Time I Have Left…
I feel like everything inside of me is going topsy-turvy. False illusions are crumbling – some quickly, others decaying rather steadily, but slowly. And that’s a good thing, because my desires and dreams are coming to fill the voids that these crumbling illusions leave behind… and my desires and dreams are becoming more of my [...]
Bottom Surfing in the Austrian Alps
This is written so poorly… but… you get the gist. It’s cliché, but really… the Austrian Alps are breathtaking. Julian and Maria had driven through the night… I was going on just a few hours of sleep… throughout the drive we were all struggling to stay awake in a sleep-deprived delirium… but when those jagged [...]
