Scenes from the Porsche Museum - Szenen aus dem Porsche Museum

Happened to be near the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen, Germany and took the opportunity to have a look at the exhibition. Entry fee is very reasonable, however, transportation costs vary depending on your home port :-). In any case, I can heartily recommend a photo session there: Bright lighting, interesting architecture, photography allowed and no guard bands messing up your motive.

All pictures taken with my Lumia 640, so sorry if you expected more, but sometimes the camera you have with you is the best.
So have fun with a pig, a frog and lots of old cars :-)

War in der Nähe des Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen und packte die Gelegenheit beim Schopf da mal reinzuschauen. Der Eintrittspreis ist sehr vernünftig, allerdings ist die Anreise natürlich unterschiedlich aufwendig je nachdem wo man seinen Heimathafen hat :-). In jedem Fall kann ich einen Fotografierausflug dorthin empfehlen: Gute Beleuchtung, interessante Architektur, Fotografieren erlaubt und keine lästigen Absperrbänder die den Blick aufs Motiv versauen würden.

Alle Bilder mit meinem Lumia 640 gemacht, also tut mir leid falls hier jemand mehr erwartet hat. Manchmal ist die Kamera welche man dabei hat, die beste.
Also viel Spaß mit einem Schwein, einem Frosch und vielen alten Autos.
