Ceahlau

It had to happen at some point. After years of seeing it in the distance and claiming I could hike to the top if I wanted to, this year I actually did. It was a lovely but hard trek from 800 to 1800m. Well, it was for me anyway ;-). Cursing occurred on many an occasion. But I made it to the top and took some lovely pictures along the way. This particular one is a pano of 20 shots. Approx. 270°. I really like how it came out. Hope you like it as well.

I did a bit of a photowalk around the block here and this is one of the results. It's a HDR rendition of the view through a very dirty window into an empty appartment in the Rue du grand hospice.

After having spent a good hour rolling them I thought I'd try my hand at some food photography.
I like both of them. Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comments.

Couldn't help but snap a pic of these sisters on their stroll through Taormina.
