Aliens in Nevada and New Mexico

Aliens in Nevada and New Mexico

There’s something about the American Southwest that makes you believe in ghosts, gods and little green men. Maybe it’s the desolation, with miles of scorched earth and silence that hums like static.

Driving through Death Valley

Driving through Death Valley

There are places in the world that don’t care if you’re there. Death Valley is one of them. This infamous area of harsh territory is located in Eastern California, in the northern part of the Mojave Desert.

The silver screen memory of Los Angeles

The silver screen memory of Los Angeles

It feels good to be back in Los Angeles, the city of angels, devils and Hank Moody. Even though I started the morning by dipping my pale toes in the Pacific at Malibu, I’m not doing Venice this time around.

Halloween ten years later

Tonight the annual Halloween parade was planned to roam through Greenwich Village in New York as usual, but it has been cancelled due to the emergency situation in wake of hurricane Sandy. I guess somewhere Jack Skellington cries out in agony.

Roaming the cobblestones of Istanbul

Winter in Berlin

Berlin in winter is not for the weak. The city shrugs off the sun like a bad hangover, wrapping itself in grey skies, freezing rain, and a cold that gets into your bones like regret. But that’s the charm, isn’t it?

A nice house in Palma

A nice house in Palma

Palma is the largest city on Mallorca, one of the Balearic Islands which are part of Spain. A few days ago I ascended the wide stairs from the Royal garden and turned a corner.
