Sculptured Trios I
Sculpture of three gingko leaves in the spa gardens of Bad Dürkheim. The base carries a verse: “Every leaf is a mirror, greening in the light, withering in the snow – the leaf of the gingko is a mirror within a mirror. show yourself – … Continue reading Sculptured Trios I

Mixed Prognosis
On the outside of this gargoyle gecko’s habitat there was the explanation about his ghostly colour: it had been kept in the dark by an uncaring or uninformed human and as a result it lost all colour and also has deformed bones (similar to rickets in humans, as a result of vitamin D deficiency). The prognosis is mixed: it can live a pain free like this but it will never recuperate.

Suprise!
I was taking snaps of pretty blooms on a plumbago bush when something flitted around the periphery of my vision. It tried hard to stay on the periphery. It’s a hawk-moth and has been confused with a humming bird (except there are no hummingbirds in … Continue reading Suprise!
Come on, Baby, light that Fire!
This photo was taken at the signal fire event in Hilsenhain im Odenwald. The children of the village set the huge pile of wood alight.
I would like to continue a discussion about the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), the European law that came into existence in 2016. Are we allowed to take a photo of this? Obviously, this is a European Union discussion because it is really about the law. But if you have an input with a general point of view, please feel free to voice your opinion. I know that in the US it is usually said that there can be no expectation of privacy in public places (although this is not as clear-cut as one is often led to believe).
I am today more wary to take pictures of strangers, particularly children. The regulations make little distinction between taking the picture and publishing it. But in this case I think it is allowed as it was a public event, a performance if you will. However, I did single out this particular boy in this shot. I picked the shot where his face was least visible though, because I’m not completely sure about the actual law.
Any thoughts?
