The canals of Venice are so hypnotic that it's easy to forget to look up. Random views up can be just as rewarding (just remember keep an eye out for the canals!)
After a week going around with the silly elisabethan collar; I have startet up training again , so I can be for fit for fight again; I have used the peanut balance ball for training my balance again, so I should soon be ready for playing again.
Zigzag is a pattern made up of small corners at variable angles, though constant within the zigzag, tracing a path between two parallel lines; it can be described as both jagged and fairly regular.

Blue hour view of the zigzaggy roof of the MIM (Muskinstrumenten-Museum Berlin/Berlin Musical Instrument Museum) and a glimpse of the Kammermusiksaal/Chamber Music Hall's roof at Berlin's Kulturforum. The Kulturforum (Cultural Forum) is a building ensemble in Berlin's Tiergarten district near Potsdamer Platz. Next to the Philharmonie and the aforementioned Kammermusiksaal several museums and the "Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin" (Berlin State Library, affectionately also called "Stabi" by the users) belong to the ensemble.
This view from the outer west of the former Sony Center was a little tricky to catch because the white "wings" on top of the Kammermusiksaal were visible only from one particular position. The image might have benefitted from getting closer to the roof but that would have required a longer telephoto range than the maximum 75 mm my LX100 II offers.
Taken on an epic afternoon/sunset/blue hour/evening photo walk with m_laRs_k and magrit k. :) This was also the "It's going to be dark but we won't bring a tripod" walk because Mathias travelled lightweight with only his X100V (and no tripod). So this was also an opportunity to put the high(er) ISO capabilities of both the little Lumix and my OM1 to the test. I must say, both cameras faired pretty well. Especially the much newer OM1 (as was to be expected) but the little Lumix also did a pretty good job, better than I had expected. And what didn't look so nice was handled well with the modern noise reduction tools found in DXO PhotoLab and Topaz DeNoise. So no more fear of using high ISO values ;)
I also toyed with the idea of removing the three lonely stars that were in the image but since their triangular pattern echoed that of the MIM's roof and they also added something to the otherwise cloudless, "empty" sky, and so also created a better balance in the image (methinks), I decided to let them in and highlighted them with some dodge and burn instead.
