Heading for Rhodes City

On the way to downtown Rhodes on a nice and warm afternoon. In some parts public transport on Rhodes reminds me on public transport of my hometown Jena in the late 1980 GDR times. Not air conditioned high-floor busses, open windows and warm air draughts through the vehicle while the low sun shines in your face. The engine roars under the hot floor and you can feel every vibration coming through. Driving like crazy, the driver does not even stop before opening the doors when approaching a bus stop. The air pressured doors are opening undamped with a loud clash. In some busses it felt like time traveling back into my childhood. And it felt like summer. Already miss it!

Here’s to the greekophiles… was on my annual trip to Mythos country a few days ago. But this time not alone! Missed WRC and dust a bit. Anyway – back into the summer!
Some personal statistics: 
1st ever non business flight with an already known sleeping place.
1st flight to Greece with having a toilet available during the stay!
My first flight was operated by a 737 classic, her’s was a 737 too. (yay, old enough to have been witnessed a 737 classic operated flight)

Urban summer

During my stay at the baltic Sea, I made a short trip to the city of Greifswald. Haven’t been there for ages. I was not even in school when I visited it the last time.

t was a nice surprise. Many young people, a nice and historic city centre and some nice looking bars and restaurants. It seems to have that typical flair of a university city like my hometown Jena.

After having a coffee break on a boat on the nearby river I went back to the town square and I found this guy playing awesome folk music to the audience sitting in the restaurants around the square. On a summer day. In the late afternoon. Loved it!

Karlshagen Habour Sunset

Sorry for not updating the blog the last weeks. Kinda busy these days. But I’m working to improve my performance here. This photo was taken at Karlshagen habour, after having a delicious dinner in one of the really nice restaurants there.

I have to admit that more and more I’m getting lazy in carrying the DSLR with me. This photo was taken and edited with and iPhone 4S. Incredible how the quality of phone cameras have improved over the last couple of years. Also the post processing on the phone is insane. But this does not mean I will throw the DSLR in the bin. It’s used for the more specific photographs like portraits.
