I've been walking by that door a couple of times per week, probably for a couple of years. And every single time I thought "Damn! Forgot my camera _again_!". I eventually managed to set an end to this and explicitely headed for that door past weekend!

... by the new looks of the place in front of Karlsruhe Palace. Maybe I just need some more time to get used to it's appearance, maybe the dust just needs to settle a bit. For the time being, let's just stick to a few details...

The place in front of Karlsruhe Palace has been a construction site for more than a year. Past weekend it eventually was opened agained to the public (at least parts of it). Good reason for grabbing my camera and checking out what those guys were working on.

I wanted to shoot some panorama first, but there's still lots of construction site material around, so I stuck to a few details... and those were not that easy to find. At least, for this picture, I needed to walk around the entire place at least 3 times: When designing the place, the guys obviously didn't care about aligning the statues and those water channels with the trees in the background. So from all 6 pairs of statues, this is the only one that can be shot this way. Oh well...

... Café Latte yesterday: Here it is! I wouldn't recommend it though. I mean it's good, but better stick to an Espresso, a Cappuccino, an Iced Coffee or a Mango Smoothie! Ha, never change a winning team...

Having enjoyed 2 hours in the sun on top of the P10 and the Bitter Lemon I posted yesterday, I felt in need of something revitalising. So I opted for a Café Latte with Irish Cream flavour at Moccasin. It always feels weird to capture people, hoping they won't notice... but it worked, once again!
