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 Later, the analog cameras have been replaced by digital and the laboratory by computer and color printer.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.

Lakedistrikt & Cornwall 2009
We leave Watzerath on 2009/10/07 early in the morning. With our Vito we need little more than four hours to reach Coquelles (France, Chunnel).
From here a car train takes us comfortably to Folkstone (near Dover).
Then we have to go on with our Vito driving towards Lake District. That means a lot of traffic, left-hand traffic, and many, many safety cameras. Our navigation device has lane assistance and speed warner so driving on britsh highways is no problem.
It's already getting dark, when we finally reach the small village "The Hill" near Millom. And there we have a problem: the lane to the house of our friends Harry & Sally becomes sometimes quite narrow, so that I need to fold the outside mirrors.
The next day we spend in and around "The Rockery", so Harry & Sally call their home. The other days of the week our hosts organize excursions with us to different places of the Lake District - in spite of 2003 this year the weather is rather british.
On 2009/18/07 we early in the morning say good bye to Harry & Sally and go to Cornwall, to "Mill Cottage No. 2" in Treesmill, where we stay for one week. Our navigation device finds the way to our cottage without any problems, but for the last miles it leeds us upon very narrow ways. Starting at "Mill Cottage No. 2" we do some excursions mainly to the northern coasts. Our first target is "Land's End".
