24T82 22 years between Santiago and Brühl

By on

(E81)

I first met Y on the flight-journey and transatlantic long-haul from Santiago, Chile to Frankfurt am Main in 2002. Based in Heidelberg at the time, I was awarded some ESO telescope time in Chile, and after success collecting data, I was on the way back to Germany. Y spent months in Peru on alpaca research, and she was going back to Germany to complete her PhD program.

I’ve been to Köln many times since, to catch up with her. Now, 22 years forward to 2024, we’re reminiscing over beer at the new apartment Y shares with M in Brühl, located between Bonn and Köln. We marvel about the years gone by, common friends, and changes and turns the universe has thrown at us in that span of time.

M, tilted me, Y.

I probably said something dumb in German, and that’s gotta be my “D’OH!”
22 years have gone quick.

I got in the first snap above; the remainder are by MW. This post for 28 Jul 2024 composed with Jetpack for iOS appears on Fotoeins Fotografie at fotoeins DOT com.
