[LRflex] Re: An ice-cold stroll around Bremen last Sunday

Dear Doug, I really enjoyed your pictures. You did very well keeping those 
lines from converging. I was surprised at the few people on some pictures as I 
was there in June this year for the wedding of my niece. Then I read the 
temperature. I love all the Hanseatic League locations with my favorite being 
Bergen, Norway. My major reason for not moving there tomorrow is the lack of 
mountains. Not a one in hundreds of kms. I guess I will stay in Korea, we have 
more than enough!! I plan to start sharing some with the list soon. Sincerely, 
George

Sunday we were invited to a New Year reception staged by the Bremen 
ournalists Club and the Merchants Guild of 1801.
he walk from the station past the mill (go back one shot, and you can 
ee what it looks like in good weather at around the same time last year)

and the bronze pigs,

across the cathedral square,

past the town hall

he Club.

A very entertaining show, too. Germany's leading political columunist 
Heribert Prantl) and the secretary of state of Bremen's parliament in a 
adio chat with our old friend Theo Schlüter - with breaks filled very 
rofessionally by the local amateur barbershop group "Fishermans Fresh" 
who are actually more of a madrigal choir)

Bremen is a great place, you can sit around, have a hot Grog and chat 
ith senators (that's what they call ministers in the city states of 
remen, and Hamburg) and there's never a shifty-looking security bloke 
o be seen.
Hamburg and Lübeck are similar, must be something to do with their 
anseatic heritage.
Sunday was also the first time I've ever had aperture blades sticking 
nd Canon electronics refusing to work because of the cold.
Cheers
ouglas
