Shot yesterday at the main station five minutes before the fireworks finishing the "Kieler Woche" started. Although it was close to midnight the sky was amazingly bright and seemed brighter to me than in the last years before at this evening. Quite a quiet end of a lavish celebration.
After a long and very successful trip I arrived in Kiel yesterday. Today I tried to enjoy the rest of the "Kieler Woche" and took a long walk through masses and masses of human beings in the golden evening sunlight. The crowd was really overdimensional and I didn't feel well in it so I had difficulties to shoot photos with inner calmness. Finally I was fascinated by something very typical for Kiel: a boat. To look up to the blue sky was delightful and released me from the jostle on the ground. The Russian seamen where working on their mast as if no ground at all existed or as if they didn't even know about the existence of the ground. And then this bottle passed by...
I rushed past this colourful backyard, then stopped and returned. It belongs to a store that sells antique furniture und second hand articles. It remembered me a little bit of those pictures where you are supposed to search one specific small item with your eyes between a lot of details.
Today I was stunned by the full, vivid and wild nature in the middle of the inner city. I walked through the high grass and flowers and forgot everything around me as if there was nothing else in this world but sweet nature. Welcome summer!
This is an advertisement that encourages Kiel citizens to protect the environment and go by bike. I wonder whether the owner noticed where he placed his bycicle. I saw it in the dawn but could not resist to take the photo immediately not knowing whether it would be still there tomorrow.
