# 22: Project Gutenberg: on eBooks (aka the end is in sight...)

Project Gutenberg is an interesting concept... I guess a lot of it is about preservation. What was surprising is that it didn't take as long as I thought it would to download a book. (Thank you broadband!) Another interesting thing I found was that someone has adapted Darwin's "Origin of species" as a decorative wall hanging! It looks pretty cool as a piece of artwork.
Then we have other sites like Amazon where you get to buy eBooks.

I still would much rather buy an actual book than an eBook, I feel that eBooks are just not "real" enough for me.

Every morning on my way to work I cycle through the Englischer Garten, a public park north of Munich's city centre. At seven o'clock in the morning there is still a tranquil and quiet atmosphere before the city wakes up completely. Now that the days are becoming shorter, it is also the places where I witness the sunset; and there are already traces of autumn with the ground fog floating over the streams and some of the lawns. It is such a beautiful moment that I decided to take my camera with me and leave the house early to take a few photos of this picturesque place.

This photo shows a view from the Monopteros, a small round temple-like architectural folly, toward Munich's city centre with its skyline of church towers.
