Street art in Montmartre

Monet’s water lilies
Monet’s water lilies (small sections from two of the eight murals). These murals are huge: 8 together span 91 meters. That iPhone 11 ultra wide lens would have been useful here!

iCloud data vs iOS 13
So, anyone trusting their iCloud data to iOS 13 GM release? This is the first time I haven’t had the GM release on my main carry phone on day 1.
Hiking Group: Sattel Hochstuckli
10 September 2019
11 km, 510m ascent, 3h, 9°C
First group hike of the new school year! This is my second season hiking with the group from my son’s school.
This was only my second time hiking up to the Hochstuckli, but I skied from there many times last winter.
Here’s the view from the top in winter and summer:
We took the gondola up from Sattel (in the valley) to Mostelberg and then did a loop hike from there up to Hochstuckli, the peak. The weather was gorgeous and the temperature perfect. The hike wasn’t too difficult considering how little hiking I’ve done since June, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t creaky and a bit sore by the end of it.
All in all a great start to the hiking season. I’m hoping to be able to do even more hikes this year. Last year I chickened out several times when I thought that the hike was either too hard or the weather too cold/rainy/snowy. I know now that I can manage all the hikes even if it takes me a bit longer than the (super fit and super awesome) leaders.

Trübsee panorama
To capture shots like this I currently need to take a panorama. I wonder how the iPhone 11 ultrawide lens would be for taking landscape pics.
