Run away, run away

It’s like some terrible nightmare. Don’t turn your back on the water, or else.
This is a sign they have on the beach in Hamburg. Most warning signs use just 2 colours and use a symbol language that can be understood in a instant. I feel that they really struggled with this one. How to describe that big waves may be caused by the passing boats and therefore a danger to beach users in a simple and clear manner.
It kept me amused for seconds.

I will be in Hamburg for a few days and won’t get to add new stuff. In the meantime this image was taken outside the Elbe Shopping Centre a few years ago. I wonder how long the queue is now. long wait I believe.

It always amazes me how other people are so much tidier that me. A beautifully arranged kitchen shelf.

A simple fence, behind which lays Hamburg Hafen, you just can’t see it because of the bushes.

Doll’s Crack House

You don’t see many of these, 1980’s Doll’s Crack House. For when Barbie goes off the tracks and leaves Ken for a smack head. I found this in a Flea Market in Hamburg, my she’s gone down hill.
