Down on the Ice in Hamburg on the Alster Lake | 10.02.2012
We were there in 1997, 2010 and 2012. Hamburg's Alstereisvergnügung, an ice event that only happens if it stays cold enough, for long enough, and the ice reaches a thickness of 20cm, or more. Then! Milllions of people turn up, stands with hot drinks and food appear all around the city centre lake and fun is had by all. In 1997 the stands were on the ice and it was an official event. The next official event after that happened on 10th, 11th and 12th February 2012. Although the ice froze in 2010, the go-ahead for an official event was not given due to warmer weather and uncertainty about safety. As such no stands appeared. There were major differences in the ice quality in 1997. It was very rough, having broken up and then frozen again. In 2010 and 2012, the surface of the lake was smooth enough to skate on, almost everywhere, without areas having to be smoothed, as in 1997.

3rd to 6th June in Hamburg. This ship was berthed next to the ''Ricker Rickmers'' in Hamburg harbour, almost opposite where she was built 75 years ago. On her way to Hamburg, two crew members were injured during heavy seas. Entry was free and there was plenty of professionally prepared printed information material available in German and English, plus information boards placed on the decks. A friendly and helpful crew were welcoming people on board. A video will be released at a later date via YouTube and/or Facebook. Links via www.englishpages.de

Dahlias

We are working on a Dahlia Special and intend to publish at least three galleries showing almost the entire collection of Dahlias in Hamburg's Dahlia Gardens (Dahliengarten Hamburg) taken in 2010. The photos in the new galleries will include photos taken over a mostly sunny three day period in October 2010 and will include a number of photos chosen for possible poster and print distribution, some of which could be on display in the Dahlia Gardens café. The galleries will also include the names of each plant, if possible or available. The Dahlia Gallery page will include links soon

Business Opportunities

We are currently looking for ways to distribute our designs and photos. To begin with, we would like to look at ways to offer calendar, greeting card and poster designs to a wider public. As such, we have started to post a few basic examples in our Facebook Gallery via this link
