Catching a person’s facial expression can be challenging. I felt extremely lucky getting this image from an elderly lady. I was sitting on a bench as she walked by looking at a bulletin board when I photographed her. Enjoy!

Rush Hour
9 years ago traffic in the center of Pnom Penh in Cambodia was mainly scooters and motorcycles. The proud owners manage the traffic with excited recklessness. The rule of a maximum of 2 on a motorcycle does not apply here . Helmets are the exception and only for the driver. Some examples…..
Fremont Street Experience
I had a blast photographing at the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas, an open Mall with an incredible night life. Enjoy!
Upside Down
Walking through downtown Las Vegas I discovered this artist. Enjoy!
Blickfang
Dieser sehr schön zurecht gemachte Oldtimer Lieferwagen stand vor kurzem vor dem Phaeno, unserem Science Center in Wolfsburg, als Werbefahrzeug. Ich dachte so, vor mehr als 50 Jahren, als dieser Ford Transit gebaut wurde, hätte sich niemand danach umgedreht. Wie sich die Zeiten wandeln. Heute ist er ein Schmuckstück und Blickfang.
This beautifully restored vintage van was recently parked in front of the Phaeno, our science center in Wolfsburg, as an advertising vehicle. I thought that more than 50 years ago, when this Ford Transit was built, nobody would have looked at it. How times change. Today it’s a gem and an eye-catcher.
What are you doing?
I was standing in front of this bicycle stand pretending to photograph it. In reality I was waiting for some folks walking by giving me the opportunity to photograph them. This gentleman stopped and turned towards me probably wondering what I was doing? I like the expression in his face.
Halloooo…
Darf ich vorstellen: der Wolf, das Wappentier unserer Stadt und das Maskottchen unseres Fußballvereins VfL Wolfsburg. Leider passt zur Zeit der Tabellenplatz nicht zu der Bezeichnung “Wölfe”.
May I introduce: the wolf, the heraldic animal of our city and the mascot of our soccer club VfL Wolfsburg. Unfortunately, the club’s current position in the table does not match the name “wolves”.
Shadows
My contribution for the topic of the month is a bus shelter. A homeless guy in Vienna has set up his home in the shelter. He sleeps on the bench. His belongings are in the plastic bags. His shoes are neatly set down close to his head.
Note also the text on the commercials. The one above the sleeper “Immer für sie da” (“Always ready to serve you”) is by a Vienna taxi company. I doubt that he will ever be able to use it. The line below the lovely female face outside the shelter reads “Kein “Weiter wie bisher” (“No , “Continue as before”)
Bicycling
During my street walks in Los Angeles I photographed people on bikes. Enjoy!
