Construction site for a wholesale market

(ISO 100, f8 @ 35mm, 4sec., 19:45) This is a glimpse through the fence. I almost missed the place because out on the street everything was so unremarkable.

This might get ugly #4

(ISO 200, f8.0 @ 35mm, 30sec., 23:39) This place might look like an American army base but in reality it is the elaborate setting of a venue for all sorts of events. It was quite a warm night with an exceptional unremarkable sky. The clouds were so even, they were hardly visible and the light pollution from the nearby airport made it look kind of unreal.

Backstage at the French-German funfair, Berlin

(ISO 400, f5.0 @ 29mm, 20sec., 00:47) This is the largest folk festival and one of the biggest funfairs in Berlin, featuring 150 plus performers, racing roller coasters and a number of rides including the Euro Coaster and the Poseidon water ride.

Yes, I went into the funfair after it closed and I start with showing you the last image I shot that night. I assume the remaining cars in the distance belong to people working at the place because all visitors had left by that time.

Circus Krone

(ISO 100, f8 @ 25mm, 5sec., 22:03) There was a lady behind the window of the circus caravan. She was typing in her Apple laptop (you can see the logo in the original size of this image) and didn’t notice me at all until her colleague pointed at me and my tripod. They both looked at me which made me nervous. Should I pack or should I stay and try…
