Getting as restless as the mighty sea







Would you have asked me a week ago if I would like to move to another city, I would've said no. But the tide has finally changed enough to see what's happening with me and I just realized that I'm getting restless again. I want to move on to another town. I've been back to Leipzig for almost 2 years now (only one week missing) and I have the impression that two years is for me the point when I get restless and want to move on. It has been this way in Stralsund and Villingen and it is so in Leipzig too. I don't know yet if it is because I'm a wanderer or if I just haven't found the place where I belong. I thought that I belong in Leipzig, but now I don't think so anymore.

You see my motto is: "The world is big and colorful and I want to see a lot of it." Therefore I think it is only natural that I want to live in different cities.

This feeling of restlessness is the reason that I show you those pictures from my Ireland vacation in 2009. I took them at the port of Doolin when we waited for the ferry to Kilronin on Inishmore (Aran Islands). It was a wonderful day, it was a wonderful vacation.

Burke’s first entrée into the region occurred during the period of Soviet control, a period of recovery that allowed for the current explosion of capitalism, which has already begun to devastate an architectural heritage that had been well preserved in the deep freeze of socialism. In this selection of pictures of architecture and portraits all made on Polaro...
