Above: early Sunday along the Aussenalster (Outer Alster) in Hamburg; below, a view of some of the later swimmers in the Binnenalster (Inner Alster) in the first leg of the HH triathlon. I was just out for a walk before heading for the train home to A’dam after a short visit with family / friends :-). The weather was much more conducive to lovely photos than it was the last time I walked (and showed you) these shores.
Queen Louise of Prussia was very much loved indeed, judging by the many monuments and memorials to her, and the flowers I saw by some of them. Above and below left, in the Tiergarten; below center on an island in Charlottenburg castle gardens and below right her mausoleum in another part of the castle gardens. We’ve got *lots* more fun stuff from those gardens stored up for you…think royal cherubs and such 🙂
Pacific Coast top left, SF bay above and below, city of SF skyline quite visible below, to the right of Mt Tam(alpais) which is on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge. Both from my flight out on May 3rd.
(so much world, so little time....)
