A lynx at the Hanau Wildpark, taken June 9. The orginal population of the Eurasian Lynx in Germany was already exterminated in 1850. After being reintroduced in the 1990s the lynx nowadays can be found (or could be – it is mainly a nocturnal hunter and very reclusive) in mountainous areas and national parks.

The Red Dot (Home of Leica)
Last week, I was on a job in Wetzlar, a town some 60 kms (36 mls) north of Frankfurt, and happened to drive past the headquarters of Leica, Germany’s last camera manufacturer to speak of. I decided to stop and pay a short visit to their showroom, exhibition and museum.
(Photos taken with a Canon 5dIII and Canon 14mm, 24mm lenses and a Sigma 50mm Art though.
I’d love to have a Leica S but can’t afford it)
