Bloomin' Jungle!

It seems weird to walk through a zoo and then post a photo of a flower but this little fella really caught my eye. Considering the conditions I went through to get it, I'm pretty happy with the result. It was a hot day on sunday, and the jungle house was sweltering and humid (or "scorchio" for readers of a certain age and persuasion). This flower was high up near the roof where it was hot enough to make the sweat pour down me in buckets.
The feeling of relief when I left that building was immense, I certainly don't think I'll be visiting any rainforests in the near future, cool flowers or not...

If this flower is native to cooler climates in Europe, and torturous treks through jungles aren't necessary to see it, I think I'd rather not know.

LOST in Munich

Well it's back to the daily grind after a wonderful short break in Munich, the highlights of which I hope to post over the next week. Siegrid hasn't posted any of her stuff yet because she's gone into rehab to get over her Chai Latte addiction...

That's Ent-ertainment (la, la, la)

Whilst walking through the beautiful Ibmer Moor recently, I came across this hollywood star:

For those of you who don't recognise him immediately, he was in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy...

;)

EDIT: Siegrid couldn't see it, so a little help -

BOO

Finally, the computer is mine :D

Now that Mina has celebrated her birthday, I can unveil the photo shoot that I have had to keep silent about for the past week and a half. The idea was to make a vintage, comic label for a bottle of egg nog (Aialiköa=Eierlikor), but unfortunately there is no photo of the finished bottle itself - Mina, if you read this - please send us a photo, and Happy Birthday "after-portable/nachträglich" again ;)

A couple of those that didn't make the end product:

But the one that made it was:

Many thanks to the "Seggsi Laydies" for modelling!

Rooting through the archives

It’s been a while, and I’ve been itching to post. I don’t even have time right now, so here’s a quick pic to prove I’m still alive. Tomorrow’s a bank holiday, and with Siegrid having a shoot, I might have time to blog properly again :) Bye bye!
