My favorite place for having a coffee in Karlsruhe is the Moccasin. In the past days I've had the idea to start some sort of shooting project about this place — you may consider this as the first part.

I wonder whether I'll dare to do some indoor shooting there...

Right after having shot the castle itself I, by chance, found another scene I considered worthy to have a closer look at. What's better than shooting the castle? Shooting its reflection in colorful windows!

Since I'm on vacation for a couple of weeks (yay!) I, for the first time in weeks/months, managed to grab my camera and do some shooting! In the next days I'll thus be posting some recent images. Starting today with a picture of Karlsruhe Palace at dusk...

More details of Nara's Kasuga Shrine comming up: Today I'm posting two more close ups from typical japanese lanterns as they can be found almost everywhere in this country... Especially *lots* of them can however be seen at the mentioned shrine.

These two images also were captured near the Kasuga shrine in Nara, altough you will find similar details around almost every Shintu shrine...
