Here are finally the pictures from our trip to VisWeek in Atlantic City, NYC, and Purdue. The NYC trip was unfortunately really rainy and cold and I was sick, so I wasn't taking quite as many pictures as I would have liked.

» Steinenberg End of 2009
As some of my foreign readers may not know, the changeover to the new year in Germany is typically celebrated by people shooting off fireworks and firecrackers of all sorts and varieties. In contrast to many places in North America it is legal to buy these (within a certain timeframe of the year, usually about 2-3 days before Dec 31st) and to light them. For the past two decades or so, I've celebrated New Year's with my friends in my home village of Steinenberg by climbing a little hill overlooking the village and valley behind it. This year the colours were particularly nice. Here is a small image as a teaser. I'll upload more in a full album later.
