some more phtos from Germany

These photos are a somewehat random selection.  We really must try to make a photo album, but have a teechnical problem in that we do really know how!

Anyway, we were struck by the sort of beach chairs they use, like this


Which on a wind-swept beach have their appeal.  This photo was taken early in the mmorning, when we went to the island of Northenay, and the functionary who come to take money off you was not yet there.


Ones sees less advertising than we are used to, but this one did strike us


Signposting in Germany is pretty gopod and thorough, though occasional onme is faced with this sort of thing


This was, however, a motorists sign.  Cyclist signs are usually "finger" type, and I do not have a photo of one of these.  But when thsy had the North Sea cycle route logo on them we were reassured






There was, howver, a tendency to give rather non-specific reminders one is on the right route; there seems to be an assumtpion that you kn ow where you are going anyway.


We did see some neolithic signposts; are they really a work of art?



As one cycles on (and on!)


One does see lots of things.  Here are some birds nesting on the side of dyke


 And here is a thatched houde.  We saw a lot of these; thatch seems popular


Interesting thinsg in towns as well.  This was in a pharmacy in Husum


A greeting we often heard and came to use ourselves is "moin".  As in this decoration at the entry to a campsite


We left Germany through this place, on the border




more to come
