Frustration of Lost Photos

I was going to post some photos and stories of my trip to Berlin in 2007.  I initially thought that I had the photos on my hard drive.  Nothing was found so I must have made a back CD with them on.  After days of searching I found a back up CD from August 2007.  This is must be where I put the photos.  Sadly, I was to be disappointed.  The frustration of not being able to find the photos is one thing, but it is the memories that are associated with them.

I spent 5 great days in Berlin.  There was so much that I saw and experienced.  Now I have nothing to share.  Who is going to believe me?  I saw the last pieces of the Berlin Wall.  Loved the Brandenburg Gate, Potsdamer Platz, Alexanderplatz and so much more that I wanted to share with you.  My memories of Berlin was that it was city that was on the up.  It was basking from the success of hosting the previous year’s soccer World Cup.  Berlin is the symbol of the new reunified Germany.

So, the main lesson I have learnt is that I must back-up my photos.  Still, it is not all bad.  It means that I will have to visit Berlin again.

Until the next post, stay safe, stay healthy, keep smiling and back up your photos.

Photo of the Week – View from the Arc de Triomphe

This week’s photo was taken from the top of the Arc de Triomphe.

As you can see it is of the most famous structure in Paris, the Eiffel Tower.  This photo was taken during my visit to Paris in September 2005.  It acts as a reminder that I need to visit Paris again, even if it is only for 24 hours.

Until the next post, stay safe, stay healthy and keep smiling.

Photo of the Week – Liszt Memorial Tablet, Bratislava

This week’s photo is of the Liszt Memorial Tablet in Bratislava.

This tablet celebrates the concert that took place at the Leopold de Pauli Palace in 1820 when Liszt was just 9 years old.  At that time Bratislava was known as Pressburg.  This concert led to offers of sponsorship to help finance Liszt’s education.

Until the next post stay safe, stay healthy and keep smiling.
