It's Wednesday, it is another #welovemusicwednesday  ?

Sunday night King Diamond headlined Rock Hard Festival in Gelsenkirchen (Germany). During the first songs a huge fence was separating the band and the ones in front of it. They delivered a hell of a show!

Tíre, my "new" foster cat arrived last Saturday and by now he's quite relaxed and enjoys having a home after 2 years in the animal shelter.

I know I'm one day later for #caturday  , but my new foster cat moved in yesterday and so no G+ time. ;-)

This is Tíre, he got depressive in the animal shelter of ANAA Madrid after his family had to give him away. He has to loose weight, but I think that's just a question of time.

Through a friend I got a few Cokin A filters, coz the guy thought with a DSLR he won't need them anymore. The most interesting one is the pola red green one - and so I gave it a try, right out of my window. ;-)

Last Saturday another foster cat moved in, a small guy from Spain called Mhou. He's all skin and bones, so I called him Mhousito.
This photo was taken  last Wednesday when he had recovered a bit from the long trip.

STOLEN CAMERA GEAR!

One of my biggest fears came into reality yesterday.


My camera bag, full of almost everything I own has been stolen. (except for a 200€ flashgun I accidentally left at home).

It all happened while I was having lunch, at 2 o’clock in the afternoon in a small bar in the city center of Milan. My backpack was between my chair (which I never left) and a solid concrete wall; I still can’t believe they succeeded in taking that cumbersome 10+kg backpack without me even noticing. 
Side note – just to give you a smile: I was drinking still water at the time.

It’s pretty hard to get insured if you’re not a professional here in Italy, so no chance of getting ANY money back.

Yesterday computer problems made it impossible to post photos, so here you get my submission to +Weekly Photo Project 2013 / #weeklyphotoproject2013  . The theme was "Eyes", but as my foster cat is suffering from an ophthalmitis you get just the "good" eye.

Another photo of my foster cat Charlie, at least that's the name he prefers. At the moment he is sick and so he stays in bed, in my bed. :D 
Actually I planned to go out and shot, not too often we have snow in my area, but I couldn't leave him alone... Perhaps tomorrow I can catch some impressions from my town... This is for +Brian White 's #todaytuesday  .

The theme of +Weekly Photo Project 2013 's week #2 is "Winter / Summer", it's winter where I live... Mostly rain the last weeks, but in December we had 2 days with little snow - so this was done about 4 weeks ago, but it fits the theme.
