Fireworks and Exploding Chairs - TPF Germany Meet-Up

What an AMAZING meet-up! I adore the photos and the captions.
I just can't wait until I too am able to meet my fellow TPF family. :D

While Tony has already arrived in Hamburg with his narration (I so like some of your pp-work here, Tony, and wish I could give my photos of the working harbour a bit more "pep" like you did with your pp), I'm still at our Sunday walk to "the spot", and here's one of the very Tony (tempra) going through his personal "horsey moment", i.e. taking photos of the horses on that paddock not far from "the spot":

Unlike Alex, Tony's like most others and squeezes his not-viewfinder-eye shut. I do the same...

Christiane having a rare "beer-y" moment...

Doenoe gives Anty a lesson in successful bug-photography

The fact that he really knows what he is doing can be seen here !

Sunday afternoon is Landpark-day

Close-up deer photography for yours truly, but only because they thought we'd have brought them a bag of animal food (which we didn't :oops: ).

Sky decided it was nicer to walk the park barefooted, despite the beginning drizzle (Jeff had been right earlier in the morning when he wondered if the weather would hold - it did not).

My own pales in comparison.

While everyone was either wandering around the park or staying put to tease the goats (so I hear), the weather deteriorated, and soon the drizzle had turned into rain so that in the end the rare breed farm animals showed us clearly what they thought of all the cameras about their place.

Time for the Landpark Café then

2545696650_1721eb91e7_o.jpg

It wouldn't ever transpire that this was a TPF group having coffee and cakes in the Landpark Café, now would it??? (And with all those very German coffees and cakes we all easily looked not like tourists, did we? The cameras were certainly no give-away, were they???)
2544872359_e7b9c1af4f_o.jpg


But the result of this attempt to "not look like a tourist" was very worth it:

Coffee and cake seemed to be the order of the day as is German tradition - we didn't wan't to look like tourists!

Anty (Jeanne) (demonstrating what Hertz's two cups of coffee would certainly do to the state of his eyes!)

Hertz (probably photographed AFTER he had finished his two cups of coffee for he looks really refreshed here)

Anne-Marie and Chris (who is just telling her that this TPF-crowd is the bunch of weirdos he had always thought - and feared - they might be)

Oh yes, Alex. Please do!
By the way, do my photos show? I'm linking from flickr for the first time ever in my life and wonder if they can be viewed by all. I can see them, of course, but can everyone else?

And if you can, how to you like yourself laughing in the Landart-Café photo, Alex?

"caffelatte" must be GOOD then! :D
 
On Thursday we had lunch in the mill in Scheeßel after our canoe race... I mean trip!

47. From what I understand, the mill's historian works in this room:

48. Some of the mill equipment. The two disc-shaped things were spinning really fast

49. They have plenty of creepy doors there. They keep their ghosts behind the white one. I think they keep the naughty visitors in the floor.

50.

51. After the awesomely creepy tour, we sat down for a very good lunch:
IMG_1726.jpg


52. And Daan showed off his hayfever eyes:

53. After lunch, we got back to business and photographed more of the mill...

54.

55. A dangerous up-train:

56.

57. I think this sign is telling us to stop being so raunchy...

58. Chris and Anne-Marie spent some time admiring the intense green-ness of the North German countryside:

Sky! Your photos are incredibly beautiful! Wow. And even one of Birgit, the Lady of the Mill, though only "Birgit from behind", going in to where the ghosts are stored! :D

The place where Anne-Marie and Chris are standing is one of my most favourite spots for photography! (Have I mentioned that even ONCE when we were in the mill? ;) ).
