I spent the last few weeks in and around the Erzgebirge (mostly Dresden and Chemnitz) in Saxony, Germany which is a real Christmas dreamland. Their Christmas Markets here are very lovely. I have been to Dresden’s Strietzelmarkt and Mittelaltermark, to Altkötzschenbroda’s very special and exclusive (only open for two weekends in December) Christmas Market and to both Christmas Markets in Chemnitz.

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Christmas is over, I hope you had some nice days with your family. I had… Santa brought me many nice presents and I got myself a Nikon SB-600 – my first off-camera flash. I actually got it two weeks earlier, so I already had time to play around with it. I also bought a small portable Softbox – the Lumiquest SoftBox III.
So my Christmas was awesome, the only downside was that the snow we had last week totally melted away during the holidays and we now have +8°C
