I have no idea why I have not gone there before, but better late than never. It is very touristy, and there are a lot of postcard-perfect shots to be had, so I looked for something different. The results are here: http://www.wajsman.com/2002_28.jpg http://www.wajsman.com/2002_28alt1.jpg (both taken with M6+35mm Summilux on Ilford Delta 100) The following week nothing special happened, so I just took some pictures around the lakefront in or near my town, Herrliberg. I guess they fit in with the "where we live" project, although it is not the correct week. Anyway, the first picture is from a snack bar on the beach a few hundred metres from my house. I walk along the lake with my dog twice a day, and in the afternoon I somehow always end up at this place...besides friendly staff, they have the good sense to stock Faxe, one of my favourite Danish beers. Here is one of my friends there opening a bottle of wine for another customer: http://www.wajsman.com/2002_29.jpg There are always a bunch of motorcycles parked nearby, and even though I would never actually buy a Harley, I enjoy looking at them: http://www.wajsman.com/2002_29alt1.jpg (the self-portrait in the chrome is intentional) Finally, a lot of people go fishing in the lake, but the funny thing is that in my 2 1/2 years here I have never seen anyone actually pull a fish out of the water. I liked the juxtaposition of the statue and the relaxed fisherman. His pose indicates that any action on the fishing front is not imminent... The picture was taken in the neighbouring town of Meilen, about 4 km from my place: http://www.wajsman.com/2002_29alt2.jpg All three week 29 pictures with the M6+50mm Summilux on Ilford Delta 100.
