Leafcutters
Leafcutter ants go along their business at the Frankfurt zoo, Feb.14. Interestingly, they just don’t eat the leaves (something I believed in for a long time), but process them instead and use them as a substrate for cultivating a fungus which they eat . This requires a highly developed social structure.

Römer
Frankfurt’s medieval city hall, the Roemer, pictured yesterday night, Feb.12. The main building was purchased by the city in the year 1405 and is still in use for various purposes.
(Took this shot at 1.5 sec, f 2.8, 200 asa with my old Sony Nex3 which I bought used and very cheap about two years ago. The 16mm 2.8 lens maybe isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer but it still produces usable pictures most of the time)
