Laundry

I have discovered that sight seeing the facades can contain a very intimate moment when people dry their laundry outside. It turns my camera into a voyeur of their privacy.

Jastarnia, Polish Baltic Sea coast (2010)

Polish people put their laundry outside as soon as the weather allows it.

Nordstrand at the German Wadden Sea, 2010

Germans do not do this as much - it is culturally not well seen to spoil a facade by the sight of your underwear. But in Nord Friesland there are not many people around so here you go.

Coimbra, Portugal, 2011

Portugese are champions in drying their laundry outside. Sometimes you can imagine the family members by the shape of the trousers outside.

Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, 2011

Sometimes the laundry hangs directly on the side of the side walk.

Porto, 2011

Sometimes the laundry adds decorative value to the facade.

Three years ago, somewhere in Schleswig-Holstein. Happy Anniversary, dear Friends!

Back to Blog!

It was quite a break for me blogging. Let me tell you one thing: photographic material has been gathered within these days as the events were overlapping. I will give you a short insight. Details will follow.

My friend Serena New and me crashed another exhibition opening. We have smelled art (see the post "The art that smelled good", February 2012) and we have seen a lot of breasts. It was modern art! This woman is a part of an installation.

In the days to follow, there has been a lot of outdoor activities with friends and their kids. Thank you little Helenka, Max, Hanne, Anton, Lara and Jarnot for keeping your adults on track!

We went out for a bachelorette party, we danced till hips ached. Here you see a bar tender preparing cocktails. 

Next day I had the opportunity to meet a very charming bachelor party group who sang for me "Highway to Hell" blocking a crossroad for the show. Thank you Mike the Juke Box! And all the best for the wedding!

And then Polonia e.V. Hannover performed in Burgwedel Goralskie dances.

Porto Cracow Memory

Cracow in Poland and Porto in Portugal show many similarities although they are situated on two opposite edges of the European Union. Do you know the memory game? Here you go. The motifs come each time from the same two cities, you can guess which is which, if you want. Enjoy!
