I think here is no picture thread where people can post pictures they have taken. Random pictures from here and there. Heres some pictures from my last summer trip (2007) from Poland/Germany and one new picture I have uploaded.

Part of the memory wall, Uprising Museum, Warsaw

Powazki cemetery, Warsaw

I think everyone knows this one

Crematorium, Auschwitz

Entrance to Auschwitz-Birkenau

Check Point Charlie (quite pathetic IMO)

Hofbräuhaus

Something to eat there at 10AM

Grosse Strasse, Nürnberg

Foundation stone for Deutsche Stadium, Nürnberg (which was never built due to war)

Zeppelintribüne, Nürnberg

Luitpoldfeld?, Nürnberg

This one is from 2008, front of the 1.FC Kaiserslautern home Stadium. 1.FC K - Offenbach

If there is someone who wants some of my travel pics somewhere I visited, I can make a rar-file of them and upload them.
As you can see, I use just a cheap camera. I´m not a pro shooter. Only some memories for me.

Merhaba,
Well the more you travel the more you like to see and realise there is too much to see.
Yes I meant Polemarchos. I meant Alexander the Great would be his choise if he could be someone in the history.

Thanks,
maybe they saw that my passport is expiring 9th december this year hence the beautiful picture.
I was going to Estonia this month but I don´t want to take any risks. Have to apply for a new passport.

Well, their country their rules. That morning I felt like a Bavarian chap.

Hello,
well I have no idea why those shoes are there for. I asked about the hostel worker (Hungarian) and she said what I wrote here. First when I took the picture I was thinking that those are for holohoax. So I am not sure. But I think you´re right.

I am heading to the Cavanaugh Flight Museum this week in Texas. They have Fifi, the only flying B29 Superfortress on display there. They also have a B24 Liberator in flying condition and a HE-111 under restoration. I believe it's the home base for all three aircraft.

The hangar was under renovations so public viewing of the B29/B24 was closed. Thankfully I called first to find that out. Maybe next year.
