Ha... me in the celebratory atmosphere when Kaiserleuten knocked another goal into the net! Woo
~dk


Kaiserleuten versus a team from Bayer region... it was an amazing experience... my first every, which began with boarding a wrong train and finding out about the match from the enthusiastic and excited fans heading to the stadium... it was really exciting... 4-0!

Wanted to go to Heidelberg... but we ended up in Bad Munster (and eventually at Kaiserleuten to watch soccer)

An abstraction and probably according to "dadaism" (i'm not sure)... it's of venus... the artists uses abstract and non related ideas in his works

Picaso's drawing of a lady... it's a bit of cubism in the art
