About.

Manfred and MB307
Journey to India.

Manfred is creator of ThisFabTrek.com, photography and journey, a travel blog (since 2004).

Understand and tolerate, report and photograph, enjoy and live - inhale different concepts of life (all that TV [and the web] cannot give). Reject jealousy, animosity, bigotry. Be free.

Manfred in the desert of the Western Sahara

The mind, when pondering at night has always asked those questions. What are you doing in corporate wonderland, banking, university, office, church. Who is the other animal asleep inside, thinker, punk, creative, cowboy, vagabond, anarchist, healer, artist, writer, photographer, intellectual? Oh God dare you to think.

So when he sees the gamble, manipulations and lies he follows the old old dream, sets out for this journey that is called life, explore the world traveling overland.

Manfred is father of twin boys, Daniel and David.

ThisFabTrek is ongoing. Photography and Journey, Story of Life Around the World, Music, Art, Festivals and Love and Peace. Photography and articles are for sale.

Palmyra.

Map, Turkish/Syrian border.

Sunset and moonset, (hilal in Arabic, the moon crescent) on desert drive to Palmyra (wiki), where I always wanted to go back. The records of a settlement here date back to 2000 B.C., known as the Bride of the Desert, by caravans moving through. But what we see is all pretty much Greek/Roman. I was here 22 years ago, then 22 years old. I have dreamt to come back for as many years. Voila.
