A big warm congratulations on AoM! You know how much I love the Alsace and you captured it perfectly from just one of the many beautiful little towns in the area. Well deserved!

Hello Petra,
thank you for your kind words about my album. I was very happy with the stay in Spain last year.
I greet and wish you a pleasant weekend.

I spent a week back home in June and the day of the Stünzelfest was the only one with wall to wall sunshine. Perfect weather!
It's probably been 30 years since I last went, but to be honest, nothing much has changed. I had a great day going with friends and family.
My next trip is to Germany again, to a wedding in Starnberg (we're staying in Munich) and then a week at home, with a trip to Frankfurt thrown in to visit my brother-in law.
Shanghai seems to have lost much of its quality to mega construction projects. They add dust to the smog and humidity. Not a pleasant, but sticky thing. I walked a lot in the city trying to see anything nice and, I guess, historical that would resemble images from the many films shot in the city...
Anyway, as I have free access to Internet at the moment, I do not mind to post a few words for you all.
