Last night's last call

in #photography7 years ago

I finished my training session today and managed to not screw it up completely. It was an admin training which means it involves and requires more under the hood understanding, something that I am not completely comfortable with in all areas. I learned a lot though.

I had an hour or so to hit the shops and find something for my daughter who likes to keep me on my toes with her "surprise" wishes. Last time it was "something soft"and this time the prompt was "sheep".

I found something that I think will be both practical and fit the order; a hot water bottle with a cute sheep cover to make it soft. She has started complaining about her legs being sore at night, so perhaps the warmth will help with the growing pains.

I also had a chance to sneak a few photos into the journey as I walked along the Rhine at sunset. It is quite a lively place in my opinion, but that is in comparison to Finland, where not much happens. If my city was this busy on a Thursday, it would be highly suspect.

I didn't walk too far during this trip as I am not feeling that energetic, but I am glad I had a chance to take some pics. The guy busking with the guitar was singing Ed Sheeran songs and it reminded me of my wife and I at the concert several months ago. It is pretty lonely travelling like this for work, especially when everyone else is sitting with friends or walking hand in hand with lovers.

Anyway, here is a selection of the images. I am writing on my phone so won't explain much more.

This is where I settled down for a meal, a traditional German Tapas bar - they had wine. :)

I am sitting outside in a t-shirt while everyone else are wearing winter coats. It is 18 degrees at 8pm, Finnish summer at its best.

Love the way you frame up your shots. You inherited your dad's eye.

I am glad mine font take 200 hrs to see the result :)

People who don't travel for work think it would be the coolest thing ever. Those that do know it sucks and is typically quite lonely.

Sheep hot water bottle sounds cool hope it helps her legs.

Doing it twice a month isn't great, but at least I get to buy cool things for her :)

Yeah, I guess. I'm away at the moment. For shooting. Lonely when not at the range or with mates. I'm in Mount Gambier, not as cool as your location for sure.

Probably not that much tapas in Mt Gambier. the place would be pretty cool with friends here, but it is boring alone.

You have a comp?

No Tapas in Mt Gambier - Loads of freaks. 😊 There's a massive drift-racing thing here so...Yeah, loads of young hooligans with their Nissan Silvia's, nose earings and missing front teeth.

Yes a comp, but the one I organise and run so I'll only be shooting it today to test it (set up day). Tomorrow is the shoot.

Have fun and no drifting in the 4wd.

Haha, four wheel drifting...Could be fun...4.5 tonnes of fun!

I think it has the perfect centre of gravity for drifting.

Awesome post @tarazkp ! Love the Sheep Hot Water bottle gift, Wish I had one back in the day when I was going through growing pains, how comforting it will be for her in many ways!! Upped 💯 and resteemed, following now!❤🐑🐑🐑👍

I can't remember my parents even knowing I was having growing pains, so I guess that is a step in the right direction as a parent :D

Thanks for the follow too :)

I’d be wearing winter coat too 🤣

Looks like a nice night for wandering around. Least you seem to have accepted the fact your photos are alright 😜
