I've been away with the scouts in our district summer camp. The nearly two weeks were absolutely amazing, mentally a great vacation. On the other hand, physically not so much. But I've still got Monday to recover from my holiday. :-)

We visited the Jurassic Museum at the Willibalds Castle in Eichstätt. As always, taking photos indoors is almost impossible with the low lighting and reflexions everywhere. We had a great and entertaining tour guide walk us through for an hour. Afterwards, we explored two, three hours on our own.
One of my most favorite things was to pour water down the 80 meters deep well. It took something like 10-12 seconds before we heard the splash. But before that, we weren’t able to see the falling drops anymore. Crazy cool. :-)
The wind was blowing strong on the big tower. Hair were flowing horizontal. The museum had also small sections for the stone age, Romans & Celts as well as sea monkeys.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hell yeah, this is awesome! Great shots!
When I checked at the beginning, the sun was already way behind the trees. I then decided to wait until the end before leaving the house and melting in direct sunlight at 31°C. At the hill, there were around 15 people in camping chairs and on picnic rugs. Some dragged out their camera gear as well.
My first two photos were through the eclipse glasses. In contrast to others, I didn’t bring my tripod and just used a tree as a crappy makeshift one. With the large zoom it’s impossible to keep it still for one second (what my cam decided to be the exposure time). Leaning the camera against the side of the tree is just not good enough.
