With Frank of Instinkt&Intuition taking great care of Max’s main walk today, and the deadline for submitting a photo to 52frames.com looming (this week’s theme is “walls”, with extra credit for “arches”) I decided to brave what the Berlin weather service called “a storm” (a sorry excuse for one, if you ask me) and take Mr Canon for a walk. This was the only day this week available to focus on photography so I was not going to let a minor detail like “Sturmtief Ignatz” throw my plans down the toilet.

I have no idea which of the following I will submit to 52frames, if any at all this week. I am also not sure if any of them qualify as “arches”:

I took these for the colours:

And these while sheltering from a heavy rainfall:

Some reflections:

Some of the many leaves being blown off the trees in the strong wind:

And finally, another example of an epic fail which I actually quite like. I don’t recall even taking it, but I do recall a couple of incidents where I was nearly blown into the river :-).
