Dear Steemit community! This is the first post of a new series where you can send me out to places of your choice and I will report back to you what I find there!

This is how it works: At the end of this post you find the perimeter within which you can send me around once every week. Grab the coordinates or the name of the place your interested in from google maps and post it to the comments. You can either specify what you want me to capture at this location Or you simply leave it up to me to decide what I find worth reporting from there. The proposal with the most upvotes after the first payout will be my next destination and will be rewarded with 25% of the earnings of the resulting post.

I hope this will be fun for all of us!

Obviously, I have to start this series with a choice of mine: The Vitra House !

Coordinates: 47.602833, 7.617868

Vitra is a famous Swiss furniture manufacturer. The Eames Lounge Chair is maybe one of their most well-known pieces. The Vitra House in Weil am Rhein (Germany) serves as the showroom for the current Vitra Home Collection. The building was designed by Jaques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron and opened in 2010. Aside from the exceptional collection it comprises an inviting cafeteria and a well-assorted museum shop.

While you enjoy your coffee and a piece of cake on the terrace, little family fellows will enjoy their time in the elephant´s enclosure ;-)

I went there today at 8 am to capture some morning light and to have an unhindered view on the architecture. After the opening of the building at 10 am the site gets crowded quickly.

The silvery camper trailer is a little bistro where you can get tasty sandwiches and refreshments during the warm season of the year.

One can easily spend the entire day shooting the outside of the building but still capturing only a fraction of all the interesting angles of that extraordinary architecture.

I hope you enjoyed this first tour with me. I would love to do more of these for you, so please let me know in the comments where you want me to go next!

This is the perimeter that I can cover for you:

15 km max from downtown Basel, Switzerland (47.560696, 7.586765):

• Go to google maps using this link and browse the map within a maximum distance of 15 km to Basel, Switzerland
• If you find something that catches your interest, right click on the location and select ´What's here?´from the context menu to obtain the latitude and longitude coordinates.
• Add the coordinates and/or the name of the place to the comments. If you wish you can further specify what exactly you would like to see from there. I will use my GPS to get there as close as possible.

Depending on how this series evolves I may be able to expand my action radius over time. Let´s see :-)
