Worked a lot today. It's always getting a bit stressful right before a vacation. 🤷♂️

Saw this dude when I went to get lunch. I assume he was doing some time-lapse photography with the cars passing by. Took another photo on my way back to the office. Not sure if that was a political statement or performance art. Anyway, when I took his picture, he gave me a thumbs up. 😅

Raindrops and bokeh balls.

The girls are comparing how much ice cream remains.
Never heard of the Mammutmarsch (Engl. mammoth march), which started from the center of Gruga Park today. I talked to a participant who said he was going to walk 75km in about 15 hours. So with a starting time of 16:00, he'll be back at the goal line at 7 in the morning. 🤷♂️

Bumblebee.
Started playing Donkey Kong Bananza in co-op mode with Lumi. It is a really fun game, and the second player can really help (or create total chaos). It's also possible to mirror the screen on the old Switch using game share, so each of us could play on a separate console. Pretty neat, when not at home.

This snail has been living in the tree in front of our house for a couple of days now. The kids look for it every morning and are usually able to find it on yet another branch. I'll suggest that we give the snail a name.

Waiting out the down-pour below an underpass. They don't care, they have a roof on the bike, me however, I only have my rain gear.
I am kind of struggling with the photo blog currently. I am not really happy with the images I am posting (although I like today's), but that is mostly due to the fact that I am not able to make time to intentionally (for lack of a better word) take photographs. It happens in passing, during my commute or when I am running errands.

We watched Blade for yet another movie night. Sven and Tim are heavy users of Letterboxd, so Jones and I will try to keep up. (Not sure how that will go, because I always forget to log/rate the stuff I watched. 🤷♂️) Anyway: Find me here.

Went on a small cycling tour with my daughter today. She said we need to do this more often, which is fine with me. 🙂 I took the first image above when we were crossing a bridge over the Autobahn. (View in the opposite direction, eight years ago!)

Old hospital in Velbert. We did another test drive this morning as Ulya will have to do the trip on her own the next couple of weeks.

Only took photos of the kids today, so you get this sofa on the front lawn from a couple of days ago.

The only image I took today. The last couple of days have been kinda hard, keeping this daily thing going. I just have to make it through and it will become easier again. Can't wait for our family vacation to start!

Had a nice, short walk just now. Made some time to take photos. Ulya is in the middle of her exam period. Two more exams to go, and then we'll get some normalcy back. 🤞

Let's get this out of the way, shall we? No speculating for more interesting subjects or better images later in the day. It will be too hot to move anyway. Completey unwrapped.

Too much to do to go out shooting besides the commute, so the practice wall again. I like the red. Looking forward to a couple of weeks of vacation coming up in August! I need to make some time to work on my photo projects again. 🤞

There's a music festival happening in Rüttenscheid today. We checked out the various stages along Rüttenscheider Straße, and the girls were listening and watching people walk by. I'm not sure why they all have to turn up the volume to a level that almost feels like an assault. Why not opt for less distortion and make it more kid-friendly at the same time? Give people hearing damage after 8 p.m., maybe?
Update: Completely forgot to add that this is the 150th daily post in a row and only two days away from becoming the third longest streak ever.

The first thing my daughter bought with her pocket money was a camera! Well, she bought some candy and small toys before, but this is the first thing she actually saved quite a while for. Needless to say, she was very happy when it arrived today. Now she just needs a lot of film! 🙂
