In the summer of 1952 the German-Finnish photographer Volker von Bonin took this picture of his wife Gisela and their (I presume) NSU Fox bike. The original photo - here with my colorization - is in the Helsinki city museum collection (N210732).

Every day and hour media, politicians, experts - and charlatans - bring us a never ending barrage of bad things. No wonder that many people feel depressed and weary. This blog tries - in a modest and personal way - to contribute to a more balanced view. After all, there is so much to appreciate and enjoy in life ...
