I finally figured out that when the weather has chilled with a wetness that makes us shiver but not quite cold enough for snow, then we can know for a certainty that winter has to come to Germany.

There was no reason we couldn’t participate in our own way, right here in Germany. Well there was one reason. […]
Originally we had plans to be in Mainz this year. Honey Bear ended up having to work New Year’s Day so we decided to stay close to Wiesbaden. I figure this would be a fun event to shoot. Up to this point my attempts to take pictures of fireworks were total flops. Traditionally, we tend to […]
I recently had the opportunity to escape with a friend to Mannheim. She had lovely memories she wanted to share with me and I was happy to accept.
