On the road to Damascus Münchberg

Sometimes, when you’re walking past the window of a gallery in, say, Regensburg, South Bavaria, you see a painting of such stupefying banality it becomes blindingly clear to you, in an instant, that you should enter the gallery, buy the picture, take it outside, burn it, set fire to the ashes, piss on them and wash the whole lot down the drain, then seek out the artist, wherever he is and tell him to STOP IT!

Strangely enough this happened to me only yesterday. Unfortunately the gallery was closed.

Nice spot though, Regensburg, if you like the whole fifteenth century thing. Mind you, as you can see, they still haven’t finished the church - stonemasons, ha! never find one when you need one.

And that river flowing along the bottom of the picture? That's the Danube - romantic or what?

You should have waited till the gallery was open, bought the painting and donated it to a hospital -that seems to be the usual resting place of dreadfully banal paintings. Regensburg's not been beaten with the ugly stick, has it?
