Some more technical pictures today. The Völklingen Ironworks is a former ironworks founded in 1873 in the town of Völklingen in the Saarland. It was shut down in 1986. In 1994, UNESCO elevated the raw iron production at the Völklingen Ironworks to the rank of a World Heritage Site as the first industrial monument from the age of industrialization.
It was then opened as a museum at the beginning of the 1990s. Absolutely fascinating.
Taken 2023 with Pentax k-70 and hdr, except the first picture taken with Pixel 6 pro

What I particularly like about Pixelfed is that you think about the pictures you have taken over the course of time. Here are a few puddles I took on my way home from the office in 2012.
Taken with Samsung WB 2000 (an underrated little camera) and hdr.

As I was thinking about what topic to post today, I was scrolling through the dogs folder and I noticed this picture that I had almost forgotten about. Here is Ici (our Aussie) in winter 2021.

The pictures were taken 2012 in Cluny. Yes, a well-known monastery, but also a very beautiful little town. And behind the beautiful Alfa-Romeo you see the dimension of the historic church.
Taken with Pentax k-x and Sigma 18-200mm.

Today some pictures of rather old cars. I love the filigree of these machines. What must it have been like to use these cars? Especially compared to today? Respect for the early users.

What a beauty!

If you have the opportunity, go there at night. Suddenly the architecture is magical.

I'm sure your pictures will get rather better - as I know them. Unfortunately, Barcelona is so full of people today, whereas in May 2016 it was different. Still, a great city, and I wish you a good trip!

A few more pictures from Barcelona. But I can't remember where I photographed the donkey, though.

I remember we walked withe dog through the small streets there and suddenly this cat tried to kill us with their eyes. Really a cool cat!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

And the second part of the pictures taken in and around Seguret in the Vaucluse region. I like the picture of the cat who was very suspicious of us.
