Not everywhere Shanghai is modern, bright and shiny...
This is a 180° panorama of Kongjia Nong (Kongjia Alley, 孔家弄), one of the many narrow alleys that make up the core of the real old Shanghai.
This area around Laoximen (老西门) has it's own charm, though I recommend to visit it only if you are good at orientation without any maps, because many of these tiny alleys are not even on the Chinese maps - and it's a maze.
Unfortunately much of this will fall victim to urban redevelopment in the very near future.

Munich's resident "cowboy". He looks sort of bored - but then, his herd never moves...
The Rinderhirt is part of the Rindermarkt (= cattle market) ensemble of cattle and their herder. The entire ensemble intends to remember the times when the Rindermarkt was a place to trade cattle.

The Latonabrunnen (Latona-fountain) in the gardens of Schloss Herrenchiemsee.
The fountain shows the legend of the goddess Latona. According to this Greek legend, the goddess Latona was treated aggresively by peasants, so to punish them she turned them into frogs and turtles.

A quick snap while on the way to somewhere else - sometimes a look back is worth solid gold...

Looking north along the tracks of the abandoned S-Bahn station "München Olympiastadion". Last train was 1988... - 38 years ago...
The station was built especially for the 1972 Summer Olympics held nearby. After the Olympic Games ended, the station was used only if football matches were held at the Olympic Stadium. In 1988 operations ceased finally, since then the station is left for decay - despite being a listed building as part of the Olympic ensemble.

Another... Again, it was dead cheap at the local discounter, so I could not resist 😜.
Reasonable sharp, but not a razor. Minor manufacturing flaws, some edges not perfectly smoothed out. The wooden application on the right is ever so slightly loose.
Fully "street legal" in Germany - the blade is even locked in the closed position.

The “Timepiece” Sundial is an installation, balanced and secured by three mooring chains, at St Katherine Docks near to London's famous Tower Bridge. The sundial was designed by Wendy Taylor and commissioned in 1973.
This night photograph was taken in during my visit to London in October 2022 during blue hour. The slowly drifting clouds provide interesting complements to the Sundial and Tower Bridge.
