Today in Heilbronn

i took my first bus ride with my husband today. i really needed him to show me how to take a bus as i discovered so many local people don't speak English. it was indeed easy as long as i could afford to pay €2.00 one way! but i will buy a monthly bus ticket because i will be taking a bus to my future school in downtown Heilbronn.

bus stop near our apartment


on a bus

Volkshochschule, the school i will be attending soon to break the language barrier

the rear view of the school, quite pretty ay....

lady in green, there are so many of them and this one is called Barbara

poor thing! this lady in white is placed inside a wine barrel and i have no idea why she is in there for, keine ahnung (it means "no idea")

in town, there were few public entertainments going on - quite interesting to see some shows and hear happy music echos in the air

we had lunch afterward and i was pouring my last cola lite drink with one hand holding the bottle and the other my cellphone to photograph - stunt work or no? LOL.

close up view of my cola and ice, should have added vanilla ice cream and i will have ice-cream floats.. hahaa..

HAH !!!! PETRONAS !!!! who wouldn't be surprised to see PETRONAS in Heilbronn. I would and i was stunned. it is located near our home. When we walked home from town today, we walked pass this PETRONAS building. I wonder if i can work in there again? anyhow, it took us 25 minutes to walk home and yes, 20 minutes on a bus ride because of the many stops and driving around corners. I wonder if i can i re-apply PETRONAS again? Can i? now, which Datuk can i contact.... LOL

that's my share for today :)))

Eclipse of the Moon in Germany

yoohooo... i'm back!!! i haven't post for quite awhile and even though this is an old story of the Eclipse that ocurred half month ago, i think it is not rusty to share yet, right... but i wanna share it anywhere...

Ludwigsburg, Germany: Sunday 18 August, 2008.

last night when we had a BBQ dinner outside a terrace of a friend’s house in Asperg, she mentioned there will be moon eclipse that will appear around 9:35pm. dang! i didn’t bring my camera with me because we were only BBQ. Neither me nor my husband had followed about the news of the upcoming eclipse.

nevertheless, we left our friend’s house at 11pm and i managed to pick the last hour eclipse, hurray...

i couldn't wait until the earth blocks the sun's light from reaching the moon, hence i only have the waxing crescent moon to share with you. i was standing outside the cold night all alone at 9° Celsius and everyone was already gone into their slumberland. i finished at 11:20pm.

Enigma of the GREEN 'Planet'

Like many others i have surfed on the internet asked the same question: what is that green planet outside our earth, near the moon? could it be a reflection? but how? could it be another planet? but which one? could it be some reflections from my camera lens? i just simply couldn't figure out this enigma.

the image below shows the green object is just behind the light tower

and within a minute of new shot, the green object moved slightly to the right

another minute later, the distance of the green object is now between the light tower and the moon. how can it moved that fast?

i am about to think it might be some kind of reflections, but just how did the green object get up there and why green? is our earth so green? but our world is covered some 72% water and should be blue, don't you think so?

here are my after 9 o'clock photographs and the green object is now closer to the moon.

HELP! i have brain constipation - what is that GREEN thing planet outside our planet earth?

just so you know, those are my most wanted-to-know photographs. when i photographed them, the green orb was not visible to the naked eyes. camera doesn’t lie and these photos are untouched, other than reduced. the moon looked like what is almost vapor but the green object is giving me brain constipation!

i can’t figure out what it was neither can i get any clear answer on the web but thanks to Joel from RI for surfing to ease this haywire mind.

my FIL said it maybe a sun. Planet SUN? now i have more curious homework to research what it really is. the tiny dotted on the photos are twinkle-twinkle little stars and perhaps other planets wandering around, i think so :)) i hope there is someone out there reading this is able to lessen this constipated mind… LOL.

Thunderstorm and Lightnings Pörtschach

strong lightnings splash

Friday, august.8: We had 'cat and dog' weather morning and it calmed down afterward but started raining hard with severe thunderstorms later in the evening.

there were harsh lightnings and rolling thunders in the sky. upon seeing lightnings as we sat at the restaurant’s balcony, i rushed to my room trying to capture at least a glimpse of the lightning. Unfortunately, i missed a lot because of my poor camera setting and how i focused my lens. essssh!! these lightnings traveled faster than me :)) i only managed to capture splash lightnings and its tail…

hmm... that are all i have of my some (boring) photographs to share...

Caught on camera: half moon and Green Planet/Object over Pörtschach

Saturday, august.9 as i was sitting inside my room working on my photographs on my laptop late last night, i saw this moon and the beautiful colorful clouds over lake Pörtschach.

our room is on the 2nd floor and we have a wide window. seeing the moon and the colored sky encouraged me to photograph it.

can you spot the green object near the moon?

i have no idea what was going on around this half moon and i could not see this green object from my naked eyes until i have downloaded my photographs and i saw this green object!

could it be another planet circling the moon at the right time i was photographing it?? or could it be an Unidentified Flying Object, LOL? either one, then i have made history for myself, LOL..!!!

at first, i thought it could be a reflection or dirt on my lens but seeing each 3 shots of photograph and it is GREEN and somewhat rounded made me realized there is something going on around the moon as this green object was not standing still.

Photograph 2 and 3 obviously shows like there is another planet moving around the moon or around my earth, but which planet could that be and what is it? any idea someone? i am very, very curious now...

Ghost captured at Portschach, Austria

after downloading all my night photographs i took last night at the pier, i saw an unanticipated image that freak the hell out of me!! WHY?? my camera have captured a “spirit” moving along this jetty!!! FOR REAL!!!! CAN YOU SEE IT on the photograph below??

have a thorough look and you can see it seemed to be like a, HER!!!! crossed my heart, i didn’t do any superimpose or manipulate this photograph and it was originally taken as it is.

OH WAIT. after having my photograph deeply thinking and zooming back and forth, there is an explanation as to how this ghostly image appeared in the photo. i recalled of a young girl walking on this jetty when i set my camera on a slow shutter speed, and upon seeing me photographing, she walked away.

FHEWWW… i hope i have eased everyone thoughts and mind that it was just from my camera creation … i have seen circulated email about ghost captured in photographs as well as documentary on TV that some people have captured “ghosts”. i reckon those photographers could have had used slow shutter speed and someone happened to walk by. yup! i have testified that here and what may looked ghostly was all the catch of the camera speed lights. sigh. now i dont have any famous and controversial piece of rock and roll ghost story to tell the world... Oh heaven knows all. LOL… now, have you ever saw ghost in your life before?
