Thanks for your most kind comment, David:-)

You've been at the Mole in Brunsbüttel today? Well, to go there was my first thought when I saw Friedrich Russ (which was my prime target) was heading for Kiel Canal this morning. But then I decided against it because there's absolutely no shelter from the wind there and the parking lot with my car would be too far away. So I decided to drive to Burg, there's a nice parking lot on the Kiel Canal banks and you just jump out of the car and walk a few steps when a ship is coming. Elder people like me are in for a little more convenience! :-)) But even on the banks of the canal the wind was very strong and cold... My respect for battling the elements at Brunsbüttel!

Cheers,
Jens

Beautiful shot Jens, I truly like this Wilson-bulkers, aged with dignity. And a company to believe in, for actually she came from Riga;)
Hope you could manage the strong winds, me, I got my camera wetted with sea spray down on the Brunsbüttel mole today.

Cheers, David
