The news of your death hit me like the storm blowing over my country last night. I remember the times when you were incarcerated by the abominable apartheid regime, and we took to the streets to demand freedom for you and your brothers and sisters, because we felt they were our brothers and sisters as well. Then came the joy in 1990 when they had to release you, but that wasn't the end of the struggle. You kept on fighting for a better future for everybody in your great rainbow nation. Now you are at rest and others will take the baton from your hands and they will go on fighting in your name until finally everyone will be free in South Africa - free from hunger, free from injustice, violence and corruption, free from diseases like AIDS, free from class barriers between the rich and the poor. Farewell, Comrade Mandela! For my English speaking friends: "When you have climbed a high mountain, all you will discover is the fact that there are many more mountains to climb."

Oranienstraße, Nähe Görlitzer Bahnhof: Riesengroß prangt das Bildnis des von Neonazis ermordeten Enver Şimşek an einer Hausmauer. Viel Zustimmung zu der Botschaft, Touristen und Einheimische drängeln sich, um Fotos zu machen. Hintergrund: Die Nazitruppe NSU ermordete in den Jahren 2000 bis 2006 mehrere Mitbürger ausländischer Herkunft. Derzeit läuft gegen eines ihrer Mitglieder ein Prozess in München. Nähere Informationen hier: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalsozialistischer_Untergrund Oranienstraße, near station Goerlitzer Bahnhof: This over-lifesize picture of Enver Şimşek, murdered by Nazi terrorists in Nuremberg in Sept 2000, is looking down on inhabitants and tourists, who appreciate this mural and queue to take pictures. The inscription reads: "Murdered by NSU; and still: State support of Nazi terrorism. Racism kills". Copyright © Baerbel A Rautenberg (BARefoot images). All rights reserved.

This impressive building in Gudhjem, Bornholm, bears the name "Coffee Castle", because it belonged to a rich coffee merchant, who bought bits and pieces of the old central station of Copenhagen and asked his architect to integrate them into his retirement home. Hence the cupola, for example. Until a few years ago Kaffeslottet housed a fine, little art gallery, but on my last visit to Bornholm in October 2012, I found it closed for good. Pity that. Latest information, added Oct 13, 2013: Found the house advertised in a real estate magazine, it's on the market for 2.5 million Danish kroner. Interested? It's a bargain!!! :-)) Copyright © Baerbel A Rautenberg (BARefoot images). All rights reserved.
