In the exibition hall an interesting citation on the wall, starting: "A painter may know what he does not want. But woe to him if he wants to know what he wants. A painter is lost when he finds himself."

I visited the Käthe Kollwitz Museum today. Should you come to Cologne and have time to visit just one place, consider going to this one. Recently reopened after 3 years of refurbishment.

I think dive 118 must have been around the same area, perhaps closer to NZ. On the 15th, I photographed the Sonne in Wellington. In any case, the where east of NZ at this time.

Oh dear, the toilet seat is totally out of style. Why did he not get something like this? How could that happen? Now he will go down into history books as the president with the non-fitting toilet seat. How horrible.

In the end, she sewed all the buttons onto a piece of fabric and gave it to my sister as a gift. Unfortunately, I can't find a clear photo at the moment (although I think I have one somewhere), only this blurry section of a larger picture.

In Wollongong botanical garden, I snaped this sculpture, made from coal and resin, "King Coal". symbolizing that resistance.
