Hmm - I didn't wanted to talk about Gustav Adolf now..

Ah yes & in this church where I came to live ahead by chance since 20 years, once my grandpa, who was a teacher (in Poland) & but mainly priest (Pfarrer) (in older times that combination was possible) preached in this Gustav Adolf Church for a time. Of this I got informed when I had already lived here for some years. By the way my other grandpa (that one from Romania) was also teacher (by the other way: this grandpa was also sacristan in his village in Romania) - So all the same line. Ok not me - I'm neither teacher nor preacher.

(but maybe I'm an most secret seductive and subversive underground preacher & teacher of whose existence even I don't know)

Hmm - I didn't wanted to talk about my grandpas now..

this was in last winter - please understand that I use a winter picture, since it's 34 degree Celsius in my flat now (1 hour past midnight!!!)& it's real refreshing, to see this snow pics

& it get's more refreshing if you look at this - a foto I shot last winter

Do you know how loud these church's bells are if they ring at Sunday mornings for about 5 minutes about every hour & on all other days on times & occasions I never quite figured out what reason for? - so loud that I can't continue telephoning or any other listening if they start, while I have my windows open. - But meanwhile I got so used to them that I almost don't notice them anymore (I'm not phoning that much),not even in my sweet Sunday morning sleep with windows wide open. My dreams have accepted that noise & implement it friendly in their schemes & background atmosphere. I don't even notice the rumbling noise of the tram down on the main street, that sometimes makes artefacts in my flat shake, that start about 5 in the morning & finishes at 1'o'clock at night - luckily I live in 3rd floor, so somehow between street noise & the clouds in the sky, not to forget the church bells between.

Hmm - I didn't want to talk about the bells now..

I wanted to start this entry with: "When today I looked out my window I saw" but then decided to give more background information about what I usually see out there - may some pictures help?

Since I live here I heard a lot of crashes down on the street - I usually ran then to the window to see what happened & there was about 10 accidents down there, since I live here - a crossing of 4 streets, tram crossing etc. traffic light's pedestrian's crossing etc. - I saw bad hurt pedestrians, bikers lying there, damaged cars etc. - on one crash when a biker was bad hurt I was the first to call the ambulance - at least I saw no-one dieing out there or so bad hurt, that he died afterwards - this makes me think, that since the last few years I didn't hear any accident down there - does this mean, that they changed the traffic system there to the better - hm or oohm, that I got meanwhile immune to the crash noises, like I don't hear the bells & the tram rumble anymore - hmm like the rich get immune to the starving people's needs?

(I think the priest of that church rings the bells by spite - maybe he's got a testimony from my grandpa, givin' hints when to wake me)

Where was I? - I was looking out my window.. (by now you know pretty well, which scenario I usually see there) - yesterday I saw a falcon in the air near the church towers - I see them since last year sometimes - seems a couple with on oer two young falcons - there are a lot of doves around - recently I saw one falcon catching a dove - he came from above & landed with his prey on the roof of the church tower - but then I saw, that the prey under him moved & moved & the falcon moved & moved too & then I noticed, that this wasn't a prey dove, but a female falcon, which he just fucking like birds do -

OK - meanwhile you probably lost all interest, what today I saw outside my window - & so it's time to tell it:

I saw a man falling from sky directly against my attic mansion - ok he was some hundred meters away & maybe 100 meters above - he was hanging in one of these paraglider parachutes, but goaling directly to my window - I never saw such a sky jumper here above N�rnberg - where did he intend to land? - Where anyway did he come from?!? - just in front of my window?? - I stepped back, because I didn't wanted to get smashed when he'd be hitting my place - I noticed, he was very slow riding there coming closer & & had still more height than my roof, when he arrived & then vanished somewhere above my roof - since I'm a very curious person (that's a precondition to intelligence), I ran to the other side of my flat, the kitchen window & saw him there again & he had succeeded to glide over my roof at least - I saw then 2 paragliding compagnions slide-gliding there in the air with, getting lower & lower in height but reaching to a direction, where I know, a big park, some little lakes etc. lies. -

Did they jump out of a plane? - Yes probably! - I myself would never dare to hang so helpless, dependend on air & wind in such height above a town, without knowing, where I would land, whether I would reach my planned goal. What if I'd drop on the mainstreet, on a high roof or in a Strom-leitung (I don't know the english word for it - I mean those wires for currency hanging from pole to pole 10 meters above ground)

- So from the kitchen window I saw them softly gliding away - I thought about fotographing them, ran to my room snapped my digicam - noticed that the chip was missing, searched the chip, put it, started the camera, ran to kitchen & they were gone, meanwhile totally gone.

So I can't prove, that I'd have seen them & all this entry is totally in vain.
Well I could prove by showing you a foto of an empty sky, that I just had missed them..

But at least I told you, that there are falcons (Turmfalken) out there & falcons are one of my favourite animals (in birds at least)

Anyway - what was I about to tell?

Ah yes the clouds of N�rnberg - this foto proves: there are clouds available still in N�rnberg - our tourist center installed them some years ago above Nuremberg & uses big ventilators to chase them around on the background colour of the season (blue in summer) - before that, our sky was always grey & no Nurembergian knew before that another sky colour would be possible

Oohm - I think I'm gonna stop for today - for I'm in the mood to tell a lot of terrible lies, just for the fun of it - fiction has just started..
