Kiel

1. Kiel Ipernity-flickr meeting

Just a short proof of life. Everything's fine but after work I'm too tired of working on the computer again at home. And currently it's too warm for my taste.

As always very early I've been at the Kiel central station waiting to meet some people for a nice photowalk. This looks like the perfect condition :-| It didn't stop the whole day and we became soaking wet. Anyway it was fun, fun , fun!

Rain, rain, rain

St. Nikolai Church, Kiel, Germany This Cross Of Nais from Coventry was the first cross the was handed over to the former enemy on the continent in 1947. Made from three nails from the cathedral of the English city Coventry, destroyed in 1940 by the Germans. Right after the destroying in the middle in the time of the terrible enmity the clergymen decided to send „the CROSS OF Nails" as an indication of reconciliation to Germany after the war. Also different churches have a nail cross (e.g. in Hamburg, Berlin and Dresden), but this is the first, which was presented in a city also destroyed by British combat fliers.

Trip to Laboe 2006, just for a comparison with another pic.

Christian-Kruse-Straße, opposite of this one Nikon D700, AF 105mm, ISO 6400, f/2.8, 1/200 s, handheld noise reduction while post production, but this image allows it without becoming too blurry or soft.

I raised my camera with my expanded tripod used as a monopod.
