To The Past

This is a very special place in my hometown, that i visit from time to time. It is always a nice location for images and to me it is always, as if i would enter the past, when i walk down this old country road.

As you, my dear readers, know, i do not show very much photos in these days. This has several reasons - first i do not have enough time for taking pictures in these days: I have to study and learn a lot, because of a job related re-orientation, a kind of "new beginning": I am back at university again - it is a lot of stuff to learn, i can tell you... In such a situation, you simply have not the "inner quietness", to realise your photo ideas.
The second reason: My dear friend and watchdog Moses has past away last october. :-( He was my companion for many photowalks and my new friend - and even bigger watchdog - Luna is much wilder and more impulsive than my old friend was. Not, that she is more aggressive, but she is very young and playful, and... a great Dane! ;-) To walk with Moses was always very easy, he was almost never pulling or hunting (maybe, because he already was seven years old, when i adopted him - in the end he was 13.). Moses leash was hanging over my shoulder and could use my camera with both arms. Whenever i wanted to take a picture, i just told him "Moses, wait..." - and he stops immediately, whatever he was doing.
Well, that was Moses. Frau Luna is different, she is much younger, and much bigger (great dane, maybe i will show here some images of her) and i need both arms and both legs, to react to her impulsive moods. She sometimes is really wild and has a never ending energy.
Though it slowly gets a bit better, there is no chance for serious photography - whenever i try to carry a camera, she usually wants to eat the body or play with the carrying strap... In the meantime i even have "collected" several strains and injuries. No chance for taking pictures with Luna - and after our walks i am in no condition, to go out for another walk without her... Don't get me wrong: She is really a beautiful and wonderful dog... but also very exhausting, with her 11 months of age and her ideas of fun.
So have to be patient and use my old Canon G7 for some quick shots, a very handy cam - the only camera, that Luna is not interested in, because the G7 is so small and discrete.
I hope, that i can show here in 2019 some more shots and that Luna gets more settled. "Stay tuned" in the meantime!
