Times they are changeing - 500 years of Reformation
500 years of Reformation
This year marks the 500th anniversary of the beginning of reformation, a day which many historians see as the mark for the end of the medivial age and the beginning of the modern age.
The years following this event changed the world totally for the all the people in Europe, sometimes very fast.
They have to change their believe, the were wars, there were big changes allround and everything was uncertain.
Just a bit like we feel in our post modern society - everything is changing in an even faster rate, our way of living, our way to work, to communicate, even our way to fall in love.
Now that's a feeling most people lived in the time of reformation also had, but they lived with it, and tried to cherish the moment, to live the very moment to the fullest extent, as tomorrow everything can be changed again..
So try to stop for a moment. And try to embrace the moment of whatever you are doing.

where Luther lived for some monthes as it was unsafe for him to travel the country, as we was banned by the king

About the Series
Germany is a diverse country, with many different landscapes, some beauty and bountiful, some barren and harsh -
it has high mountains like the alps, mountainous areas like black wood forest and rolling hills close to my home, and plains with a far horizons in the north - and many, many sights in between.
I want showing you a bit of the variety of my country -
how I do see it in color or black and white.
Hope you enjoy
