The Christmas Song

This is a Christmas song I like very much and especially the version of Nat King Cole.

November snow

When I look out of my window now I can see snow. Snow on the street, the trees and everywhere. It is not so much but it is still snowing. You can share my view on the photo below.

Freising, winter impressions

The old city of Freising is about 1300 years old and located in the northeast of Munich (the distance is about 33 km from Munich)and near to the Munich airport. Here you can find the eldest brewery of the world, started in 1040 by monks.
The city is also the archbishopric for Munich and Freising. A former archbishop here was cardinal Joseph Ratzinger(1977 - 1982) now known as Benedikt XVI, since 2005 the pontifex of the catholic church.

The long way of a dream

I can remember that day in August 1963, it was near to my 15th birthday and since that time this man was my idol and even more than this. His ideas changed the world, maybe many people did not feel it in that time but he started to change the USA and even the world.

"I have a dream" yes this was the start of his dream of Martin Luther King's dream and it still goes on. It is not finnishes but you can see the change and I remember the strong roots of this change in 1963.
