The girls wanted to go for a walk with their dolls yesterday afternoon. Often I have to convince them to go outside, so this was very refreshing! 🙂 Once we are out the door everything is great, but the getting there can sometimes be… a bit exhausting. Anyways! The sun was out, so strolling through the neigbourhood we went. This is when I took the image above.

Based on the images I post on this blog, it would seem that I only photograph my children from behind. Which is obviously not the case. 😊 But I like capturing the world form their perspective. With scenes like the one above, I usually take several shots, one of my children in focus, and another one – depending if it makes for an interesting image – focused on the thing they are looking at. (In this actual case, they were looking at an airship, but I couldn't get it and them into the same frame. Wrong focal length…)

We visited the zoo in Duisburg today. I don't know, I always feel heavy-hearted in these places, especially in the presence of the more intelligent/sentient animals, like elephants. Anyways, I think the kids enjoyed seeing some of these animals for the first time (aside from in books of course). Watching the little suricates being busy was their favorite.

Earlier today we visited La Pista 500, which is an old test track, built on top of Lingotto, which was once a car factory operated by Fiat – and is currenlty the location for this years’ WordCamp Europe. The traditional round tables at Contributer Day reminded me of my very first one in Leiden in 2013. I am sure somebody can give me the exact numbers, but it feels like there were more people here today contributing, than there were attendees in total at WordCamp Europe 2013. It is a very different event compared to back then.
