New Version of my sketch Eichenhof: (Oak Farm yard)
Worpswede is an artist´s village north of Bremen. Around 1900 it was the attraction for young unconventional artists like Otto Modersohn, Heinrich Vogeler, Fritz Overbeck, Hans am Ende. Not to forget Paula Modersohn Becker. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Modersohn-Becker
We stayed for two nights at Buchenhof.

Mahagonny 2013 Bremen Theater Production

Mahagonny 2013 Bremen Theater Production, originally uploaded by manfred schloesser.

Well worth to see: Theater in Bremen. Leocadia Begbick and Fatty, the Bookkeeper in act one of the Rise and Fall of Mahagonny, a Bremen Goetheplatz Theater production. Today we had a chance to see the Final Rehearsal. In the Bremen production the audience is part of the act. The visitors are encouraged to pick up one of the costumes and be part of the story. The actors and the audience are interacting directly. Unbelievable. An experience I will never forget. alturl.com/uu3nn

In German:
Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny. Oper in drei akten von Kurt Weill. Text Berthold Brecht.

Aufführung in Bremen. Theater am Goetheplatz.

Sheep staring sheepishly somewhere.
Rechtenfleth is a very small village on the river Weser. The sheep were grazing on the dyke. With the climate changing and higher tides dykes are to be scaled up.

Warnemuende Teepott 2013

Warnemuende Teepott 2013, originally uploaded by manfred schloesser.

Not the Sidney Opera House:
The German Sea resort Warnemuende is on the Baltic coast at the estuary of the river Warnow. It was mentioned in 1195 in Danish documents. The strange building is named Tea Pot and was built in 1967, so a couple of years earlier than the famous Sidney Opera House (1975).
I was in Warnemuende to attend a scientific meeting about Ocean Acidification (Bioacid.de). Increasing carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere lead to more acid in the oceans effecting the biosphere.
