Zoe and I went to an outdoor playground next to the ski hall in Neuss. They take an entry fee. That fee is way too high compared to what’s on offer. We had a good time regardless.

On the mini ‘free-fall’ tower.

My band Forkalyst played another gig at Haus Spilles in Düsseldorf.

Then it was “Christi Himmelfahrt” holiday. We booked a hut on a farm near the Loreley for the long weekend, which we spent with Andre and Jenni.

This was our hut. And there’s also a person in this picture.

Then it was Dedicated Photography Time™ with Florian again. We went to Villa Hügel in Essen.

Florian in the main hall.
The light on the tiny children’s house outside made for some interesting reflections.
How about one more mirror image?
