It’s one day before Christmas eve, and Zuleikha wanted to show us something she saw when visiting the Christmas market with her class and schoolmates. So we went to Frankfurt after shopping, only to find that the market is being disassembled already, and not a single booth was left open. But the weather was nice (at 12 degrees plus, it’s really too warm for the start of winter which was yesterday), and so we walked the city a bit, down to the river and back. And I took some unusual Christmas photo of some birds in flight:
Seagulls and swans at the river Main in Frankfurt
We’ll be off for a few days, visiting relatives we don’t see that often, and Tuna the cat will guard the house:
Tuna the cat, December 2015
Some friends will care for and feed the cat while we’ll be gone.
So whatever you will celebrate (or not), have a good time.
And as always, thanks for reading.
P.S., with technical info:
I’m back to my 25mm lens on the E-M10 camera, and it felt a bit like coming home – maybe I really got used to this 50mm-equivalent focal length. So the photos above from today were both taken with that combination, the one of Tuna with f/1.4 (lens fully open), hand-held at 1/8s at ISO1600 (thanks for the in-body image stabilisation!), and the bird photo with f/4 and 1/1000s at ISO200.
P.P.S.:
Here’s another one, taken today (Dec. 24th) in our living room. Same lens, this time with an aperture of f/2:

Again, season’s greetings and happy holidays from us.
Thanks for reading.
