Walking in Sunshine



Some folks walk -  others work.

After one month finally there is enough sunshine to waterproof the popup tent.



My favorite tree on a normal Hamburg walk without sunshine.



Today - tree with sunshine.



As we travel around Northern Germany houses and barns with thatched roofs dot the landscape. 



Today, as for hundreds of years before, water reed used for thatching roofs grows along the salt marshes close to the North Sea. The not so obvious benefits of the thatched roof are the ideal waterproofing and soundproofing. Eco friendly as it provides natural insulation thanks to air pockets within the thatch which insulates providing cooler shade in summer and retaining heat in winter.  In most of rural Europe, thatch was the only roofing material used by people until the late 1800s.


Dependable mystery man thinks he is hiding in the park but I find him every time.



As I pass the Turkish market the fruit and vegetables look much more appealing today.



SMALL BOX BIG SMILE

Today's slightly off the main street vending machine find. Love toys for only 5 euro. I would not be surprised if this was in Tokyo but Hamburg?




First moon sighting after at least a month of its absence.
