Regensburg
I grew up in the beautiful city of Regensburg in Bavaria (southern Germany), which was founded by the Romans in 179 as a military camp. Since 2006 Regensburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Wikipedia has a few things to say about Regensburg (and there is also a German article). Here are a few pictures of the main spots for sightseeing. But be assured that there are many more.
Grand Cayman
In May I spent a few days on Grand Cayman and here are the pictures (finally). Enjoy!

New York
And here are the remaining pictures from the New York trip …
New York Waterfront
Here are some more pictures from my recent trip to New York. This time it’s everything related to the waterfront. That especially includes a trip with the Staten Island Ferry (for free!). And on the last picture you can see president Obama’s car waiting for him …
Picasso Exhibition at the Met
There is currently a great Picasso exhibition at the Met (Metropolitan Museum of Art) in New York.
Visiting London
It’s been 16 years that I have last visited London for non-business reasons. Unbelievable! The trip was short and I took only a few pictures but wanted to share them nevertheless.
Day Trip to the River Rhine and Koblenz
Just shortly before Christmas I spent a day visiting the river {en:Rhine} that is pretty close to my place of residence. Nevertheless I had not been there before (shame on me). The wheather was not exactly great but on the other hand there were no tourists. I ended up in {en:Koblenz} at the famous {en:Deutsches Eck} (German Corner) where the {en:river Moselle} joins the Rhine. The pictures may seem a bit gloomy but that’s what the wheather was like. Nevertheless I greatly enjoyed things and will definitely come back in spring or summer …
Southern England: Boscastle in Cornwall
I have visited the beautiful village of Boscastle a couple of times. It is located in {en:Cornwall} in the South-West of England. You can do a lot of sightseeing in the area and the scenery is quite stunning.
The village is located near {en:Tintagel} castle that is attributed to {en:King Arthur}. Also, a few of the openings scenes of the film “Saving Grace” were shot near Boscastle.
Boscastle became known to the world when a MAJOR flooding occurred in August 2004 (BBC page with pictures). If you have seen the pictures it seems a miracle that nobody died in the event.
