Finally, spring is here:

Thanks for viewing.

Today we had a partial solar eclipse. It started at about 9:30 (am) at the place where we live and where I work, and the peak was forecasted for 10:38 – so I went out with some colleagues (almost all of them with mobile phones as cameras), and took a photo:

… inspiration strikes, if you allow me that term without sounding too blasé.

For instance, when I sat at my colleague Gunther’s place lately and saw the sun forming a pattern of light on his desk, then sure, I’d loved to have – maybe parts of – a gorgeous nude female body in the frame. But that would have been too cliché (Lucien Clergue did that perfectly already), and after giving it a thought or two, I liked what I saw enough to just take it as it was:

And if you think about work, don’t you also sometimes think that somehow everything is wrong, like turned upside down? Right – so do I:

Today Zuleikha was invited to her friend Alina’s birthday party. So at around 3 o’clock (pm, that’s 15 o’clock here), we dropped her at some commercial indoor playground. Then we went for a short walk around “Oberwaldberg” (which is the official name of the hill, we people from Mörfelden and Mörfelden-Walldorf call it what it is – the garbage hill).

Mitchie had the 45mm/1.8 on her E-PL5, and I had the 14-42mm kit zoom of my E-PL5 mounted onto my E-M10. With that, I took some photos during our walk:

I had to drive Mitchie home, so we missed what I would describe as one of the best sundowns of this year (so far). But that’s life – the lamb she prepared at home was fantastic as well.

These photos aren’t sharpened during post processing, so that kit zoom really is that good.
