Calm pictures in a world of acceleration Die Ruhe des Bildes im Zeitalter der Beschleunigung Dina is learning photography from her brilliant teacher Chris Taylor.

Pho Prachak, a Thai monk who lived in the forest to protest against deforestation for 20 years Siri and Selma explained that the forests are idealised …
Even Bookfayries need a holiday. So we happily let our dear Master write about the symbolism of the rose, as he knows much more about symbolism as we do. Auch Buchfeen benötigen Ferien!
