i actually really, really like decrepit.
key is beautiful, too.
these made me miss Germany.

Thanks! Even though decrepit didn't turn out how i wanted, it still looks pretty good. It's not easy to get a perfect shot out a car!

Actually I'm really proud of key, so I'm glad you found it to be beautiful :) I spent a lot of time playing around with the angle of the key in this little dip in the road, the angle of me and the key with respect to the lighting in the parking lot, trying not to get run over by the drunks coming home hehehe... and worst of all, the only camera I could find didn't have a manual focus, so I spent a long time making minor adjustments trying to get the focus right - I have a bunch of blurry ones. So thanks for liking that one!

Last year I was in Berlin and I really love this city. Your photos made me thing about a possible come-back xD
I really love them all, the Berlin and the Munich ones in particular ♥

Thanks, this was my first time to Germany though i've been wanting to go for many years. I just wish we'd had more time to stay longer! We were in Munich for 3 days, then took the night train to Berlin and stayed 4 days.

lovely set and thanks for all the information which, while not necessary for enjoying the photos, was fun to read

Thanks - that's actually one of my favorite parts of this community - learning about where the photo was taken and why the photographer chose the photo for the prompt, so i like to write a little in case there are others like me :)

Wonderful set, cliche is fantastic. Looks like a fun trip!

Thanks, I got a bunch of wall photos, but I think this was the most artistic. it was a great trip to Germany, but far too short! I hope to make it back sometime in the not-too-distant future :)

Key is especially lovely. The concentration camp sign is just stunning: so plain and simple, such a terrible lie.

And your cat in the chair looks a LOT like my cat, which I only mention because this is such an unusual style of cat.

Thanks. I wish I'd gotten a different angle on the sign so that the last few letters weren't hidden, but I guess that's something to remember for next time, right?

And yes, the cats are pretty similar. Mine's just a mutt though, as far as I know. He was a stray who found us on Christmas in 2004.

Wow, mine too: a stray who found me during the winter this past year. Hard to believe someone one abandon such beautiful cats.
