Identity Bonus
The rules have loosened but even today it’s not easy to have dual nationality as a German. When I acquired my second nationality, i.e. South African, it was almost unheard of.
You could also call me a “mock South African”. However, it did not lead to an identity crisis. I consider it a bonus.

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.

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?
