Expedition

Danatar

The only opportunity for me to visit the hashpoint was before work, because after the regular work I was on on-call duty until the next day with no certainty to have time to visit the spot. So I accelerated my wake-up routine and started out by bike. I cycled through the Großer Garten park, then past the football stadium and the hygiene museum and after a short while I was near the spot. From the satellite image I already knew that it was on the grass in front of an apartment building but when I got there I could see that there was an additional hedge between the grass and the major road. So instead of walking 5 steps on the grass I had to go around the hedge, which didn't cover the side of the building. The GPS dance was short, with the spot right next to the hedge. I didn't stay long, just took some pictures and then went back to my bike. For cycling to work I used almost the same route until I was near home, then continued along Fetscherstraße until I was at work only a few minutes later than usual.

Most of the pictures are too dark because the exposure settings were still at "-2" from when I took pictures of a presentation at a seminar in Madrid, Spain, last week (there was no hashpoint nearby in the 1.5 days I was there).
