About six miles (roughly ten kilometers) west of Ulm, at the entrance to the small village of Blaustein-Wippingen, one is offered a giorgious panorama of the city of Ulm, embedded picturesquely in between the foothills of the Swabian Alps. But only a few days a year this picture is worth being photographed, since most of the time the sky is not bright enough for a clear view. It is exactly one if these rare moments, that you're supposed to stand there with a camera in your hands. During the last three years I failed quite often to be there at the right time; this January morning, I didn't.
