Long Silence with a reason

You may have wondered why you haven't heard from me for almost two weeks. The reason was a job for our devolved assembly. It was a picture show that was to be shown during the closing session, the last one before there will be new elections in Hamburg. The assembly president will take his leave, too, and will not run for this office again. He is holding his speech after the performance of the picture show. You can see my name at the foot of the projection in the background. The persons standing on the right like reproached kids are members of the assembly that will be honored with a medal at the end of the speech. The press is there, too. The lady in black, left, is the district president, so to speak the "lord mayor" of our part of town.
The picture show with music was a surprise for everyone, so I remained silent during preparation. I took this picture from the balcony of the assembly hall.
