@bender@twtxt.net Glad you like them! :-) Those colorful roof shingles are absolutely stunning. The golden building has quite a few folds in the facade skin, from the other sides a bit more. Check out this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Rems_in_Schw%C3%A4bisch_Gm%C3%BCnd.jpg Luckily, there weren’t this many people around today. :-)

Don’t think this is the norm, though, most stuff here is also much more modern. There are not a whole lot of historic buildings left. And if there are, they’re not necessarily kept in good shape. But some are. So, don’t be fooled by my biased preselection of typically photographing the nicer ones.

The people photos are not for the internet. ;-) But I get your point, the reason why I ended up in that town is irrelevant and misleading, I should have introduced it differently. :-D

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org wow, 31 is truly a telling! Interesting facade on that building on 10! And that roof on 51, oh my! The golden Jesus and tower on 7 are something else too.

I miss Europe like hell, mate! A lot of things around here are younger than me. I don’t feel history, I am history. 😅

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think I now remember having similar problems back then. I’m pretty sure I typically consulted the Qt C++ documentation and only very rarely looked at the Python one. It was easy enough to translate the C++ code to Python.

Yeah, the GIL can be problematic at times. I’m glad it wasn’t an issue for my application.
