Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (Gauß (April 30, 1777 - February 23, 1855) was a German mathematician, astronomer and physicist with a very wide range of contributions; he is considered to be one of the leading mathematicians of all time. (His name rhymes with "house", and is sometimes spelled Gaußin German.)

Gauss was born in Braunschweig, Duchy of Brunswick-Lneburg (now part of Germany) as only son of lower-class uneducated parents. According to legend, while in elementary school, his teacher tried to occupy pupils by making them add up the (whole) numbers from 1 to 100. Shortly thereafter, to the astonishment of all, the young Gauss produced the correct answer, having realized that pairwise addition of terms from opposite ends of the list yielded identical intermediate sums.

The church in front of my apartment.

Just another church around the corner of my apartment.

Second shot of yesterday's church. The building in the front is also very nice.

I like the idea of this picture, but it's disturbing there are so many trashbins in the park. Sorry I didn't move them out of the way before taking the shot ;-)

Today is Sebastian's birthday. Best wishes from me! hehe.

Not a very special picture. Not even nice. But better than no post at all...!? My university studies and job keep me busy, so I couldn't take many photos recently. But with a smile, I look forward to my summer vacation. Take Off is in 90 days :)
