Leaving Africa

My last picture from Uganda. The market I was buying supplies cheaply every day. Now far away.

Leaving Africa - going back to such called civilisation. After 7 years cruising around planet Earth I returned to my homecountry Germany. Not really by choice. As a notorious person principally neglecting state maked rules I got - of course - problems with Visa and so on. Returning to old Europe was a little bit surprising and I really didn't know what to do there. The water from the tap is very hot or very cold. Not in between. I must say the shadows are colder as well. It was summer. But sun doesn't warm the shadows like in Africa. The walls are black or white. Not in between or you don't see it so. Principally. Logical reduction.

It seems women don't like to cook or clean very much. Standing in lines in supermarkets or waiting in restaurants for pre-cooked food is much cooler for them. They don't wash their hands before eating food! This was the strangest thing. But of course they take Corona very serious. So long you can do it by smartphone everything is worthy to do. For them.

Ok, I stop complaining Crocodile Dundee stuff. Germany is very clean and the people have lesser problems. So there is enough space for them to create new problems. The markets are full of supplies. In public transport you have huge space for your legs. I bought some things you don't get in Africa: tarot cards, German Bluetooth keyboard, smartwatch (yes they infected me with controlling attitude), and taraaa a Huawai P40 pro PLUS. In Uganda they double prices for electrical stuff. But finding a P40 was hard as well in Germany. All over they only said to me: not available. Only in East Berlin the sellers were more gentile and said to me where I could buy one. AND because it's not the newest model I got 50% discount. Shopping in East Germany is much more nicer. There is historical stuff and a mental barrier between West and East in this country. Similar like in between East- and Westcoast in the US. But now the P40 PRO PLUS is too heavy for me and at the moment I post photos form my old broken P10 (only black and white possible). But colorful pictures will come in future. The P40 really makes better photos. But at the moment too much to do with traveling and planing. So this is on to do.

Hamburg 2022 - picture dedicated to all my grandmas.

Hamburg 2022 - a look to the trees shows: bubble tea grows in Germany. Bubble tea was funny to drink during hot afternoons.

Hamburg train station 2022 -
The people compained that a 9 € ticket is too cheap for them. Crazy people.

My backpack, my yoga mate on their way through German fields. Photo taken from a train.

Street photography Berlin 2022.

Three pictures from my childhood areas I used to play in nature. Childhood depression and old allergic problems came up again in me.

Further plans on Hive: liking my friends stuff very much, posting with my new P40 color photos. Perhaps some black and white shots I couldn't post now. Bye bye!
