Camouflage Jaguar

Last week I bought a second Jaguar XJ12. This one is painted in military camouflage colours. Yes. Dark green (olive-coloured), grey, brown. I need it as a rolling spare part depot for the restoration of my XJ12 which was sleeping for the last seven years in my garage - there is no cheaper way to get everything from new tires to new air filters than buying a second car in fairly usable condition. Why does everyone keep asking me if I don't want to drive the camouflage Jag instead since it would be SO COOL???? ;-)

Marburg

I spent the last weekend in Marburg. Living there seems to be an option when HERA will be switched off in 2007. I played around with a camera which stiches panoramic photos out of three pictures taken with a 23mm prime lens. Sometimes there are artefacts (like stray body parts when someone walked just through the borders while I took the pictures) but apart from those user errors I like the weired distorted perspective and the 180° field of view. Pictures like that you can't take even with a Hasselblad XPAN!

Here are some pictures of the castle and the view over Marburg:








The market place and some pictures of the narrow streets which would be impossible without an ultra wide angle lens:
