Kolumba inside 1

Photos from the inside of Kolumba Museum in Cologne. They are from my visit in May, but I just remembered I hadn't posted them yet.
Which is good because I don't have any new photos today.
Since I moved, the photo lab isn't just a five minute walk away from my home anymore. And it's not on my way home from school either.
I have three rolls of exposed film lying around...let's hope I manage to drop them off at the lab this week.


About the photos:
There is a magic in these spaces. Something about the light, the completely pure lines and volumes and surfaces that multiply the impact of minuscule details. And the carefully mixed and disposed artworks. I don't find the words but this is what I love about architecture. I would love to see more of Zumthor's buildings.

Kolumba

Hello, how have you been? How's summer?

I don't feel a lot like writing these days, so I'll just show you some photos of the amazing Kolumba Museum in Cologne, that I visited in May.
More photos from the inside of the museum to come.

PS: This blog of mine is already one year old. I have "met" such nice people through it. Thank you so much everybody for reading and leaving nice and funny and interesting comments.

PPS: Maria's post about a special anniversary. Beautiful words and photos.

Köln and almost Summer

A few weeks ago I spent some days in Germany visiting family, and I took these photos on an afternoon we went to Cologne.
It had been ages since the last time I went there, and although I lived in Cologne as a kid, and then many years very nearby, I don't know the city at all.
Some hours didn't change that, but it was nice to stroll around and recognize familiar places here and there.

Photos 2-4 were taken at brot & butter, the fantastic bakery/café of manufactum (where I bought this beauty). That beautiful pink drink? Rhabarberschorle; rhubarb juice with mineral water. I love it.

And in other news, hello June! We had some really (too) hot days already, but it has finally rained and everything is clean and fresh again.
For me, the best thing about this month is its fruit; cherries! apricots! I can't get enough of them.

PS: I can't get enough of old Magnetic Fields songs either these days. What's your favourite song lately?
