This museum for indigenous art from the whole world is located very close to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. For me, it was one of few mandatory places to visit. It was absolutely worth it. The modern exhibition planning allows you to both visit everything in a linear tour, while still allowing to directly enter every corner of the museum directly. Decoration is minimal to not distract from the impressive exhibits. The next time when I visit Paris, this museum will be on my list again.
Time for some new wallpapers. This time sunset is the topic, while none of the photos shows the sun itself. Even the latest picture, taken on Munich’s “Stachus”, only has an artificial sun plus lense reflections. The silhouettes were captured on the hill in Olympiapark. Many people were there to watch the fading light from above.
Happy new year! I spent the end of 2010 in Paris with some friends. One of the highlights certainly was the Louvre. We only had time to visit the Egyptian collection and the well-known paintings of the great masters. While the first collection was quite pleasant, the famous paintings were too crowded. Below are some impressions of the visit:
Both towns are worth a visit. Narbonne with its famous market hall and historic centre (mainly town hall and cathedral), Sête with its harbour, channels and the signature hill atop.
Some new high-definition wallpapers. Subject this time is wood. The first three wallpapers are more texture-like, while the last two show also objects: a conifere and a green bottle. All images are photos taken myself, cropped and a little edited with the free image editing software Paint.NET. (I pretty much like the photo filters…)
More colourless desktop wallpapers: this time in all glorious grey tones. As usual they all have full high-definition resolution. The first picture (im)perfect day is a reprise of one of my favourite pictures called perfect day I already released some time ago.

After the colourful wallpapers the last time I wanted to make something more monochromatic. At the moment I am using a dark—not to say black—visual theme (Black XP), so I went for white wallpapers. Here they are in Full HD resolution 1920×1080:
Update: 5 new pictures in More white desktop wallpapers.
This time the footage for these wallpapers in Full HD resolution origins from the Museum of Man and Nature in Munich. It is located in the Northern part of Nymphenburg palace. The museum became widely known for its exhibition of the brown bear JJ1, called Bruno in the German press.
Apart from some stuffed animals in impressive sceneries the museum deals with the origin of the universe, the solar system and earth. Additionally it houses a fantastic interactive exhibition on both local and exotic animals and plants—not only—for children.
Third and finally it houses a fantastic collection of crystals and fossil stones, which I photographed, cropped and uploaded here. I hope you like them and leave a comment if they land on your desktop.
Last week I visited Austria’s capital city for the first time in my life. While the weather was not very pleasing — to say the least — Vienna itself kept its promise. It has a historic centre with many magnificent buildings like the “Burg” theatre, the opera. The town hall resembles a church with its many towers. Various churches and cathedrals wait to be visited, what I did with St. Stephan’s Cathedral, St. Charles’s Church. The culturally interested finds many museums and sights like Hunderwasser’s house. I visited also MUMOK, the museum for modern art. Its building resembles a monolithic black block from the outside.
Time for a new batch of desktop wallpapers. This time I have switched the resolution to 1920×1080. The “texture” series are slightly to strongly edited photos from single-coloured objects. I hope you enjoy them.
