Lots of Oskar

My big beautiful nephew Oskar -- asleep in his bear outfit

No way he's getting out of that

Blue-eyed and slightly red-haired ladykiller

Father and son

Real candles

For those who don't believe it's true: Christmas trees with real candles. My brother's..

And our own

Hamburg impressions

The Alster lake and Hamburg's skyline of church towers

Same view from across the street

The Speicherstadt -- warehouses in the harbor area used for storing coffee, rugs, etc.

The 'Hafen-City' -- new offices & apartment complexes in the harbor area

Much of which is still under construction (also, an attempt at artsyness on my part)

Janluigi Alessandrini in profile

Back in touch with my European roots

New York faces

Quick stop in NY on my way to Germany-- Rish with the hat

Empowered by the hat

Feisty

BP & Rumpf

The classic: NBP

Leah Curney hides behind a Bud Light

Feeling the love

Tex's Bar-B-Q

Germans love Tex's
