Mike was fishing in the Main river but unlike everybody else he was hauling out metal with thick type instead of fish. This time, he'd caught a rusty bicycle, an empty safe and a skateboard. He said he'd caught hand grenades and other weapons from world war two in the past so I was glad there wasn't any explosives when I took his photo!

There was loud music playing somewhere near my place this evening so went to have a look what was going on. A crew of Harley Davidson bikes, black Benz's and entourage of muscle men were making a music video. They had two camera men, a drone, a crowd of onlookers and some perplexed residents who were not able to get past the spectacle for 20 minutes or so. They must be pretty famous and important as the police came... Then went with a smile. Although they were against people taking photo or video I got this shot during a quiet moment. If only I knew who they were... 

Day 248

The annual Offenbach Strassenfest is accompanied by the German Garrison of the 501st Legion of Star Wars troopers. All the costumes were really impressive and correct down to the finest detail. Due to my son being petrified of the sand people (that noise they make still scares me too) and having to prepare for his birthday party, I couldn't spend as long as I'd hoped to take photos of all the troopers. Hopefully, I can get more next time!

Leticia - trying to catch them all

Leticia - trying to catch them all

Was out for a walk with my son when I noticed people aggregating near the town hall concentrating on their mobile phones. I was a bit wary at first as it wasn't clear what they were all up to. It turned out to be people playing Pokémon. I had a quick chat with Leticia, but my son was busy running around like mad full of ice cream energy so didn't get to understand everything about the game.  However it's certainly weird to see so many adults all playing the same thing but not necessarily interacting with each other.
