Gymga - Schaagring 36

Photos from the school life

In the now almost 37 years of working at the high school "Gymnasium an der Gartenstraße" I have made a lot of pictures. Photos with analog cameras to slide or negative films. Until the mid-80s it was worth it even to develop the films and the pictures to enlarge myself. For this, the school had a very well equipped laboratory. Mid 80's, the large laboratories came up and the prices for enlargements were there cheaper than the cost of self-development and enlargement. So the lab was only used to create special enlargements, especially for slides. Later, the analog cameras have been replaced by digital and the laboratory by computer and color printer. That makes things a lot easier, especially more stable. In many slides and negatives already gnawed the ravages of time, when I started to digitize them. Unfortunately, this is to look at many of the old photos, but they may have sentimental value.

Weekend trip to Monschau, Pentecost 2015

A dance weekend led us in may 2015 to the small town Monschau near Aachen . We took our dog Dexter with us, so besides the dance-lessons we had to take some walks and got a lot of impressions.

Day Trip Hamburg 2015

For thursday, the 9-Jul-2015, we had ordered tickets to the musical "The King of the Lions" at Stage theater Hamburg. So we had booked a room in the InterCityHotel Hamburg Dammtor-Messe. This rather new hotel turned out to be a good choice, because the room was arranged uo to date. Besides that basement parking was possible and included in the price for the room was free Wlan and free public transport. With Subway or suburban railway you reached the piers of St. Pauli very soon.

Before the musical we visited the piers and went out for a meal in a very nice seafood restaurant. To the musical itself we were transported by boat and we enjoyed the performance. Especially we appreciated the costumes and the decores, but also the music and the brillat performance of the actors. Back to the hotel we relaxed in the hotel bar before we went to sleep.

After the fry-up breakfast we checked out and joined a harbour tour by boat. Unfortunately the Docklands of Hamburg could not be visited by boat because the water level raised to high. Anyway the harbour tour with Barkassen-Meyer was very informative.
