A long shot I took last weekend during a photo excursion to Cologne, Germany. I took a different viewpoint than the other photographers so that the bridge wouldn't overlap the cathedral.

I saw these these embracing figurines in Nice, France in the market place and in many shops. Seem to be en vogue...

I took this shot on friday night in a bar in Cologne, Germany while going out. There had been an excursion beforehand--otherwise I wouldn't have taken my camera with me (maybe)... ;)

I took this shot yesterday at the zoo in Wuppertal, Germany. As there were only a few people, I could climb around the open-air enclosure a bit to look for the best shooting position. Although colour and focus are ok, it's the intensity of the eyes I like most about the picture.
