A trip home by train, from a little bit south of Stuttgart, therefore was a great way to get better acquainted with a recently acquired new piece of gear,

There is a big bonus to traveling by train. You have to wait at train stations and often need to take a tunnel or two to get where you want to be. Both subjects are photographically interesting as they naturally offer leading lines. And of course one is often not waiting alone, people of all
Photo essay: Behind the curtains
In front of the public in Halle 7 of the ÖVB Arena in Bremen the Latin formation teams of the 1. Bundesliga showed their absolute best.

Hessen Tanzt
Every year Hessen Tanzt is one of the highlights of the year for me. This competition with more than 6.000 dancers from Germany and neighbouring countries is one of the worlds biggest amateur competitions.
