excerpts IV

 

Stony shore

A different holiday day and a walk along a different beach...not much more happened. Well, I had coffee and apfelstrudel, alas no picture of it.

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.

You never know whom you might meet in the forest...

...the other day I met a real fairy. To tell the truth...I'm actually related to her.

Beautiful People

This is an outtake. But actually it's the picture I like best of the whole shoot. Afterwards, without full make-up and the necklace that was the actual object of the pictures...

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...

Nachts im Park

Mein Kollege Ole von lotta sleeps spielt jetzt auch ab und zu mit den großen Jungs, so zum Beispiel Anfang Juli im Lene-Voigt-Park in Leipzig live mit der Liedertour 2012 unter anderem mit Manfred Maurenbrecher, Francis D.D. String, Jörg Kokott, Bastian Bandt und dem Papa.
