Kees' photos with the keyword: dsc-r1

You must help me! I simply can’t decide to which one of your groups I should post this: to “ Foot & Drink ” or “ Funny Me ”??? It was the day after I got my first and only digital camera, so please bear with my inept experiments (and forgive me for not having thrown all of them away). Strangely, the camera’s counter started somewhere between 3- and 4-thousand, and it was bought new... After it ran out of four digits (“DSC09999”), it continued with “DSC00001” instead of “DSC10000”. Some things I’ll never be able to understand.

This fresco with a Benedictine allegory was painted on the ceiling of one of the halls of Benediktbeuern abbey. It was ill lit, so this picture is much clearer than you’d see the actual painting. No tripod was used (usually, tripods aren’t allowed, and I hadn’t one with me, anyway...), and the result was much too dark. With iPhoto, adjusting brightness and contrast, I got a nice result, however. I had a 20x20 cm print made and, miraculously, it appeared to be much sharper than I deserved...

... und heute. Es ist immer dasselbe ... LANGWEILIG! ... and today. It’s always the same ... BORING!

Teil vom Beitrag Spaziergänge durch Icking: die Ortsdurchfahrt. Part of the thread Spaziergänge durch Icking: die Ortsdurchfahrt.

Um dieses Photo hinzubekommen, mußte ich mich auf den Rücken legen. Was man nicht alles macht, damit Icking ins rechte Licht gerückt wird...

Gestern... Yesterday...

Our stairs. The wall on the right doesn’t belong there, but was built to divide our space from the doctor’s. The tiles on the floor are original, the front door isn’t.

In Icking erinnert wenig mehr an den Lechnerhof: einige dekorative Elemente sind in der inzwischen geschlossenen Wirtschaft “Stephanie” am Isarweg verbaut worden, und es geht noch immer eine Treppe vom Lechnergelände zum S-Bahnhof, die manche, denen die Wenzbergschleife oder die Treppe am Rathaus zu weit ist, als Abkürzung nehmen.

Around 1900, this used to be the place where writers and artists gathered. They don’t do so anymore –at least, we were about the only customers when I shot this. The interior has been left unchanged since the early 20th C.

For another shot look here

In ihrer heutigen Form wird die Ickinger Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche um 1500 datiert, aber Teile sind noch romanisch, und man nimmt an, daß ihre Ursprünge bis ins 8. Jh. zurückreichen. In der unmittelbaren Umgebung wurden frühmittelalterliche Reihengräber ausgegraben. In den 60er Jahren des vergangenen Jahrhunderts, nachdem die neue katholische Kirche erbaut worden war, war sie in einem schlechten Zustand und wurde fast abgerissen. Ausnahmsweise haben Ickinger Bürger sich erfolgreich darum bemüht, ihre kulturelle Erbschaft zu bewahren: die Kirche wurde restauriert und wird bis heute für spezielle Gelegenheiten benutzt. In its present form, the Icking Holy-Cross-church is dated around 1500, but parts of it are Romanesque, and it’s believed to have 8th C. origins. Nearby, early medieval graves have been excavated. In the 60ies of the last century, after the new Catholic church had been built, it was in bad shape and got very nearly demolished. For once, Icking citizens were successful in preserving their cultural heritage: the church was restored and is still being used for special occasions.
