Nordstrand is a peninsula off the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein. The ferries and the "visitors" ships sail in the North Sea to the west. The entire area is just shifting sand banks with islands.
Kieler Woche is a sailing and boat regatta. It is very old, first named 1894. Here is a little taste of what Kiel has to offer each summer… Great place, much more exciting and interesting than one might think, but perhaps you have to be into the sea, seafaring, boats and ships to appreciate it…

Hence some of the shots are movement blurs, and not Parkinsons as some may think! 🙂 Many of the visitors had had TOO MUCH
Speicherstadt is the collection of storehouses and warehouses in the dock area of Hamburg. The buildings are brick, suffered greatly from the bombing in WWII, but have been restored and modernised. For photographers this is a wonderful backdrop. I was not doing Street Photography at the time, but with hindsight I realise the environment for
