During november I cruelly lacked of time for photography. I was involved in lots of different activities related to my other hobby, judo, spent lots of extra hours in my lab at the university, and my spare time was mainly used for celebrating birthdays... But that didn't stop my from taking a few good shots here and there.

 

This one was taken during an excursion organized by my professor for the whole working group. We went to visit a small company near Cologne, where I traveled through twice only a few days befor on my way to Bruges and back home. On the way back, I saw the Carnival on one Rhine waterside and the "Crane houses" on the other, so I decided to come back as soon as possible. So I took my camera on the excursion, and when the colleagues got back to the bus in the afternoon, I stayed for a few more hours to shoot alongside the Rhine and come back by train.

 

This one is the southernmost of the three "Crane houses". It's a really extravagant building, and it showed me the cruel lack of similarly dared buildings in my hometowns Stuttgart and Munich...
