So, on her way back home she stopped by again and we had a wonderful weekend.
My Jazz-Violin teacher lives in this building, which was built in 1885. That steel-sculpture is permantently standing there, those white big chairs just for some weeks.
All kind of juices inside a campus-cafe.
Sightseeing tour, again:
The Alster lake looking south and with a ferry boat. This is an old tumbledown hall, new and young (and "cool") band perform in the foyer (I once did too, but the audience was very young and I felt like an alien...)
A semi-creative painting on someone's bedroom's window. This is a lovely graffiti I found on a wall in St. Pauli. It says: "Drinking against American-Terror". Here you can see two kinds of police cars: A regular Volkswagen-van in the front (you can read "Polizei" on it) and a plated one with a water-cannon on the top. I guess they were waiting for the end of a soccer game. If the St. Pauli-team loses there could be a kind of party, which they want to keep under control.
We went into a hospital there, which has a cafe on it's roof, looked south and east. (on the last pic you can see the backside of a church in the left corner; just behind that is the place where the Beatles started their career in the early 60s playing plain rock'n'roll every night.) I you know anything about European history in the 19th century you might know this guy. That's Bismarck. In the harbour theres an old tunnel where you can walk to the southside of the Elbe river. (it has a high ceiling so the coachmen could use their whips properly) Old elevator for wagons or cars.
Harbour: #1 - #2 - #3 - #4 - #5 - #6 - #7 - (next day: ) #8 - #9 - #10 - #11 - #12 - #13 - #14 - #15 - #16 (North Sea behind the horizon, dreamy, hm?) - #17 - #18 - #19 (a full loaded ship leaving the city, compare with #9 !!) - #20 (it looks so nice at night)
On the southern side of the river there is a small town, where rich fishermen had lived in pretty
Houses: #1 - #2 - #3 - #4 - #5 - #6 - #7
We had breakfast, others had breakfast too, one and another workshop, backyard, old people listened and danced in the park. In the tropic glasshouse a turtle was chillin' and we enjoyed
flowers and plants: #1 - #2 - #3 ("please don't touch the plants") - #4 - #5 - #6 - #7 ("no trespassing") - #8 - #9 - #10 - #11 - #12 (who put the bananas outside?) - #13 - #14 - #15 - #16 - #17
A 70s-creative waterfall...
Right beside that park (which is located in the center of the city) there is an old prison, which is just built behind the court buildings (which you can see on the left). In the park there were people shouting something to the prisioners, which might be their friends, husbands or so, and they were shouting back. They really talk that way and one of them even climbed on a tree for a better understanding.
Outside the park a street with historical buildings, the opposite side and looking up.
In a small photo store there were handwritten cards for every single kind of film the offered. This is where the poor workes lived in former times. Later we ate some pancakes here, but they were expensive and raw in the center.
This morning kissing goodbye in the railway station
