Hallo Deutschland!

Autumn in Northern Germany, crisp cool mornings and carpets of soft orange leaves. A week staying with family in the small town of Brunsbuttel, near Hamburg.

Old stone church on a grassy square.




Some interesting things in local museums....


And then some just downright bizarre things. An entire display on the history and culture of garden gnomes.


Karl generating some power at the information centre of nuclear power plant. Very interesting stuff.


Fishing boats in the North Sea.


Old canals in Hamburg, really beautiful.


My uncle Alfred explaining the old pulley system that they still use today.
