Normally I use GIMP when I need to resize, crop or retouch images in various ways. However, for my last post on the Berlin Festival of Light I would have had to manually resize and crop a whole bunch of images at a time. That's why I took a look how Python could help with this task, and found PIL, the Python Imaging Library, in newer versions known as Pillow.

Each year in October, Berlin turns into a city full of light art. National as well as international artists are presenting their light installations and transform the city into a huge stage.

Some impressions from this year’s edition at the Berlin Cathedral:

Hello world, this is my first post!

Like many others, I start with some remarks on how this blog is set up. I'm using the static site generator hugo and the theme beautifulhugo. Since installation was straightforward, as described on the hugo website, I will only list a few remarks, as a memory aid, on how I tweaked details of the layout.
