Last spring, my wife and me took the chance to spend a child free long weekend in Utrecht, the Netherlands. We had a blast, doing some sightseeing (like visiting the Rietveld Schröder House) or relaxing in the oldest outdoor pool of the Netherlands.

The place near Sinte Marie was special. There were university people with their books and other people with their joints, none of them bothered about the others, all enjoying the sun and having a good time.

We met this guy on the street, looking sharp, and he was very attracted by my camera (probably b/c it was not a phone). So I snapped a picture of him. Unfortunately, I only had my 35mm lens with me.

The area around Oudegracht is beautiful. Touristy, but beautiful. There are lots of cafes and bars located directly to the river, where you can have a good meal and a drink and watch the boats passing by.

Oudegracht seens from water. See the girl reading in the corner of the bridge? You see a lot of those secret little places once you go by boad.

Hello? Has it really been 4243 days? I think when I last posted, Google News was still alive and growing. The iPhone 4s was the best phone you could get (in 2 colors) and almost nobody knew what a Bitcoin is, or what AI could do. Weddings have been celebrated, children have been born and my life is not the same as it was 11 years ago.

And yet I have picked up photography again, after a decade long hiatus. Several times, I was very close to finally deleting this blog, but the name (still happy with it) and the free Heroku plan have kept it running. Last time I was close to shutting this down was when Heroku cancelled the free plan, which made me move to fly.io, and I'm pretty happy there nowadays.

As I'm not a big fan of Instagram, I might post a little over here in the next time. We'll see.

The photos taken by the Leica minilux come out upside down when I scan them. But sometimes I like the results, like in these 2 cases.

Some random shots taken in Hamburg. By now, I feel pretty much at home here, actually.

I love the green of the leaves when the sun shines through them in the spring.

By the end of April, I had the pleasure to visit Poznań in Poland. And the one thing that I remember best is the food. Really, Poznań has some crazily good food to offer.

Just a random shot taken in Hamburg.

I love these things. Everywhere around Hamburg you can just take one, ride it for up to 30 minutes and return it somewhere else, absolutely free. So that’s how I get to work during the warm days, while it’s not raining.

Stuff I took while walking around.

On my last day in Barcelona, I visited Park Güell, created by architect Gaudi. And oh my was it awesome!

I had the duty to travel to Barcelona for business reasons. This meant working during the day, photography during the night. No wonder I came home with much more night than day shots.
