Folks, you won't believe this... I spotted the Federal President of Austria and his wife coincidentially in the old town of Innsbruck today. Well, I must admit, my wife spotted them first and advised me :). The President was in Innsbruck due to the festivities of 650 years affilation of Tyrol to Austria. In my first comment you can find some more picts. I smuggled myself in to the Dome of Innsbruck with some press photographers, where a fair was celebrated. I only had my 50mm prime lens with me, so I had to go very close... :D

 

This was quite an adventure for me - it is like spotting Mr. Obama in the USA. I even had some small talk with his bodyguards outside the dome :).
