Today was one of those days where we just punched the "Points of Interest" button on the navigation system and went. We found out that Hoechst (which is 5 minutes away from us) has a great old town on the banks of the River Main with a palace and a quaint little market square. It only took us 2 years to find it! This statue was at the edge of the Palace. I am thinking that it is some sort of statement about the ugly side of war. (Krieg means war... in case your German is as bad as mine!)

20.09.10 - Revelation
Today, we visited Mainz and I took the leap of faith to start shooting in Full Manual. I had a chance to try some low-light stuff in the Cathedral there, mass was just over and the smell and smoke from the incense was hanging heavy in the air. The light was great and my learning curve was high. This was a shot of the Crucifix hanging at the front of the church.

05.09.10 - On the Streets of Ruedesheim
We have all been sick and suffering from a bad case of cabin fever. So, we dragged ourselves into the car and went for a walk in Ruedesheim, a touristy town on the Rhine... in the middle of the Rheingau wine districe... gorgeous.
Somehow, "Mommy, would you stop taking my picture and get out of the way of the tourist tram that is going to run us over," looks a lot like, "Brother, can you spare a dime?"

04.09.10 - In the Fields
Today, we took a walk in the fields above town. I am still shooting on total automatic but I am loving the new camera. Leif was actually quite compliant (for once!) and I got a few good shots of him. I love the light and the look on his face in this one.
