Happy Halloween. Glad I didn't have to resort to another pumpkin image, because I met a couple of guys, who were spraying yet another piece of art onto the wall. Well, if you click throught to image three, there's still a pumpkin…

Amazing fall weather today. Lumi wanted to take pictures of the deer in Gruga park, so we packed the long lens. Unfortunately the enclosure was closed due to deer mating season. So we pivoted towards owls. 🙂

What a strange day. I feel kind of anxious. Didn't dare to open Mastodon (which is the only social media I consume). I'll just share a link to this post and that's it. The feeling of anxiety is probably compounded by the fact that I won't see my kids for two days, because – and this, on the other hand, is a very happy occastion – I made my way to Berlin to once more document beyond tellerrand, which will happen tomorrow and the day after. (There are still tickets available!) Anyways, the hotel is very pink.

This is Ferdi. He played some Johnny Cash and Elvis and had a great voice, too. From our short conversation I learned that this is how he earns his living. In these situtations I always try to stop and listen for a couple of minutes (if I like the music). This makes it less awkward for other people to also stop and listen. 😊

In Frankfurt with Claudio for our end-of-year Haptiq meet-up. It is no secret that I am very apprehensive when it comes to LLMs. However, earlier today Claudio showed me some very cool stuff, he has built with the help of – his almost namesake – Claude. So I caved in and created an account to try it myself. 🫣 I mean, it surely can help with simple tasks, no? So: The alt text for the image above was created entirely by Claude and I think, it did an amazing job.

I am tired. I think the dark time of year is getting to me. Went for an early morning Gruga walk after dropping off the kids. There is always that funny feeling: I have my camera with me – of course – and I know that I will get something before leaving the park, but I never know what it will be. It's a bit like a treasure hunt, without the suspense. I just walk – and look around. And then, there it is. Today it was this wire frame construction covered in a tangle of bare branches with tendrils sticking out in all directions.

A tree was cut down in your backyard today. Suvi was really sad about it. The landscape gardener explained to us that the tree was infected by a fungus and would most likely have come down on its own during the next storm – and possibly in the direction of the house. Even though these pictures have a sad vibe to them – and I just took them today, I already know they will be among my favorites from this year.
