“Another narrow miss, welcome to Freiburg, city of cafes, bächle and mad cyclists.”

Photography memoirs

Walking along a narrow path I suddenly paused, admiring a magnificent cathedral. As I continued on my journey, a cyclist raced past, oblivious to my presence. I thought to myself, “Another narrow miss, welcome to Freiburg, city of cafes, bächle and mad cyclists.”

“I paused in front of a cobblestone street with Bächle…”

Photography memoirs

Looking to take the quintessential photography of Freiburg, I paused in front of a cobblestone street with Bächle and classic Germanic style houses. As I clicked the shutter, suddenly, a cyclist entered my view, riding at full speed and turned to face me with arms spread out horizontally while shouting ‘Yuhoo” and continuing along his journey. I smiled and laughed at this unknown beautiful person.
