Sorry for the pun, this post of course has nothing to do with the famous Ang Lee film. Instead I want to share some pictures of the theatre ensemble "Feuervogel" I had the pleasure to see live at the medieval town festival in Bad Langensalza at the end of August. This particular show was called 'web of life' and performed by three members of the group, who, in their colourful costumes, had already caught people's attention during the opening parade in the morning.

music for heart and soul

Yesterday I was lucky. Lucky not to stay in as I usually do, but instead take up Jools' offer to accompany her to a spontaneous concert/busking session/whatever of Town of Saints and Ian Fisher at Stoned. Since I hadn't been to the pub in ages, I welcomed the opportunity. Aaah, the joys of unemployment. 
Even though they just played a quite short set, it was brilliant to listen to. Unfortunately for me, the lighting in those dingy hellholes is frankly shocking, so the pictures are fuzzy and grainy, but pictures nonetheless. 
Just listen to their music online, dance around or try to catch them live somewhere near you. And if you're in Berlin tonight, go and see them play right away! 
I say, anyone who sells their music on vinyl even while only doing small sessions deserves to have money thrown at them...

Don't trust what you read on the internet.

On another one of our holidaying days we went to Kap Arkona, they have lighthouses there. Near to those was supposed to be the "traditional fishing village" of Vitt. Or so the tourist information website said. Traditional my ass. Only because they had some thatched roofs and only 72 inhabitants it was nowhere near traditional. When I hear traditional and village in one sentence, I'm inclined to expect something like the wonderful Kerry Bog Village. And that was definitely not what we found there. Motorboats, modern cars parked in neatly fenced in front yards. With ugly new metal fences. A shabby little cafe containing two grumpy employees that probably didn't get any new clothes or style advice since the wall came down and so on. I know moan, moan, moan, but honestly, this was definitely not what we expected.

Day out in Binz.

More holiday pictures, we took a trip on a boat from the small harbour town of Sassnitz to the fairly posh seaside resort Binz. What did we do there? We walked around, took lots of pictures and hand fed some sparrows (photos of these still to come). The weather was not very summerly for a day in Mid-July, but we still had some ice cream.

While on holiday...

...I've been annoying people with my camera, of course.

Why you always come back home...

So we were on holiday...and no, the photos aren't ready yet...even though the short trip to the Baltic Sea was more than two weeks ago, but that's not the point anyway, the point is what we found when we got home. Which was somehow what we hoped for, but didn't...at least not to this extent...What am I on about? The incredible best cat sitter in the whole wide world of course...
