BMW World, Munich

[portfolio_slideshow id=1077] This area is a very impressive area of architecture form 70’s. After living in Munich for about 20 years, this has been my first visit of these buildings on this side of the area. The Tower has been finished close to the Olympic Games 1972 and has been the highest building in Munich at this time. The construction is really awesome and the outer cylinders do not stand an the ground, they are placed hanging on the pillars at the middle. Did you know, that the BMW tower, the BMW Museum, the Olympic Park and the Audi Dome (former Rudi Sedlmayr Halle) has been used to film Rollerball 1975? I am sure, I will return and will spend some time more to shoot the architecture there. This time I only had a Fuji Compact to shoot, but will be more in the future.

WP 36 -> Vernissage

Switching to Vernissage Theme on WordPress 3.6 is almost done. Now I have to do with porting Coppermine stuff to the new structure and actualize the content. A propos vernissage (exhibition), as one of my architecture picture has been selected for a book about alternative pictures from Munich and will also be shown at a exhibition, it will be by first one. Feeling honored and a bit nervous.

Coppermine Gallery upgrade

Unfortunately cpg is not very gentle in running for longer times and there are more and more unfunny effects, so i have to work on a complete upgrade. If this will not work at all, i will delete the cpg part and have to transfer tons of data to wordpress. Pls be gentle, if the Gallery will not work for a while. Cheerz Raphael
