Alongside the Alb river (24 images in 3 chapters)

Walk through the Günther Klotz park area and westwards alongside the Alb river. It was hot on that day (as it has been on every day for the past couple of weeks), being around water made the temperature more bearable and also offered some good motives.
Crossed the Karlsruhe zoo via the bridge that spans it on the way and captured their elephants outside in the heat (which must feel homy for them).

Indian summer (7 images in 2 chapters)

Some last beautiful days this late in the summer, but the leaves are already falling (even inside the "ECE" mall, as the one highlight with the leaves on glass depicts) and it is getting colder, making the bar at the Kap with its warm ambience feel like a place you want to go to (and stay at) when it's raining and windy outside.
