Witzenhausen, Germany

Enchanted sleep

Remember how everyone used to envy the kid with a tree house when you were young? The Robins Nest tree hotel near Witzenhausen, Germany, is a place where grown-up kids can make their dream come true. Peter Becker gave up his bar and gallery in Berlin to create a woodland hotel comprising several different types of tree houses and the reception-
cum­-restaurant Waldbar. Right next door, there’s Berlepsch Castle – a sightseeing must.

My favorite photo

My favorite photo I met these schoolboys in Childara, a mountain village 200 kilometers or so east of Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan. When I held up my camera questioningly, the international way of saying “May I take your picture?” they agreed, although shyly at first.
