Always nice to find something by Die Welttraumforscher out in the wild.

Tales from an imaginary universe told by an imaginary band living in the mind of an enigmatic Swiss man. Alternately whimsical, melancholic, tender, dark, and dreamlike.

There was a weather alert this morning due to severe fog conditions. It did make for a wonderfully surreal trip to work, though. :-)

Going to church on #stunday: The Old Catholic church (not to be confused with the old Catholic church down the street) in Culemborg, the Netherlands.
