My first Lensography

In June 2009 I traveled through the three Baltic States Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. I was a member of a tour group and we had only one week to go from Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. Everyday we saw something...

A sked to write a lens about my favorite decade I did not chose the 70es of the 20th century with their wild music and their free life. I did not chose any time during the 20th century. You must know I am crazy about history, and I am fascinated by...

I have been drawing since I was a young girl. I liked horses, so I did drawings of them. I always had big problems with drawing people and therefore did not like to do that, but I loved to draw animals. Unfortunately for me art lessons at school taug...

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was one of the most productive composers of his time. I present to you some of his most famous pieces - one of his violin concertos, one of his operas, the Abduction from the Seraglio, one piece of chamber music (The famous Kl...

Whenever I visit Zazzle I have to drag myself away from it. Okay, you find a lot of not-so-well-designed things there, things I would not dare to show any of my friends, let alone the world wide public. But you can spend hours browsing through perfec...

A mousepad is something which is to be used daily. So it has to have a certain quality. Zazzle products have. But that's only one side of the coin. You cannot avoid looking at them now and then. And why should mousepads not be a joy to look at? T...

During my travels through the interwebs I met a very impressive woman full of energy, Barbara. We have been communicating via Twitter for quite some time now. She gets up very early in the morning, and every day I am looking forward to her "Cof...

Well, there are activities in my daily life which are important because without them I would not be able to live: eat, drink, fetch food, sleep. I don't mean those. What I will tell you about in this lens are activities which I need in order to be ha...

I love those good old films, and I love those good old westerns with John Wayne, Richard Widmark, Dean Martin, James Steward, Gary Cooper and with Maureen O'Hara. Actually I watched one of those films a few days ago on German Cable TV. The orig...

 I have joined Squidoo in May 2009 and  wrote this lens to help you writing yours. This lens is my 16th lens. It is more or less based on the experiences I made when writing my 15th lens, a lens on the famous American director, John Ford....

I created this lens because I have been treated very well by the Squidoo community. A lot of people took the time to comment on my lenses the last days, people who are lensmasters themselves. Instead of working on their lenses they hopped over to my...

Do you love to dust? I used to hate it. There was always this dusty duster, which you had to shake in order to get the dust off with the effect that the dust went straight into my face or straight onto the object again which I had dusted a few minute...

Do you remember? When I was a kid, there were bricks, a sort of green board to put them on, windows, doors and parts for the roof. And what you did was to build houses, small ones, big ones, but still it was houses. I liked to play with Lego, because...

You've just arrived home after a walk though a cold, drizzling rain. Your hands are cold, and your feet are cold. You want to feel warm again? There's nothing better than a glass of hot spicey Chai Tea. You will see - it's easy to prepare one! Photo:...
