Just when we thought summer was over, the sun and warmth came back – and even some flowers I hadn’t seen before! It’s like spring again …

“Pitsch-Patsch-Plitsch-Platsch!” Emil having fun with a bucket of water on our balcony! :-)

Converted to b&w in Lightroom 3, added some vignetting and grain, applied some burning to the background and some dodging to the water droplets.

It seems summer’s come back for a coda! Today, we had as good as no clouds in the sky, and the temperature came close to 30°C again. So we decided to visit Wetzlar (the birthplace of the Leica camera), which has a beautiful old town and vast shopping opportunities :-) Emil got waterproof trousers for the fall, and I got this picture, showing in the far background the place where Leica’s optical instruments are being made.
