Friends of democracy which native American animal attention but this time we recognize the us well known Mecki and wife an other tourists in the.

If you shoot what?
Travel is looking for motives. Holidays mean photograph. And considering the number of our photograph trigger-happy colleagues we tried, on the measure of Protoplasts attributed the large mass. Here are the results. There is the Fiery lover who prefers the successful snapshot first. This slightly nervous young lady is a modern short trip participant. You use the camera like a rapid fire gun.
Expectantly we look forward to the type of the brooding photo designer. His rich Assembly in connection with the motto practiced A lot, that it doesn't really matter what you shoot, can hope for great. The artist angle, snippet, and foreground wrestles under the applause of the creature.
Type No. 4 is the Lord of actualisation wealth, it is the merely to bring documents of being there banging home.
When is finally the long look mysterious pushes through the disguises, and the unconcealed generosity of a permanent Beach temptation in the viewfinder will appear after some searching, you know, what struck the hour.
It is type no. 5, a made of specialists, collects the second spring even in dangerous districts. But luckily, always one that keeps the flag of self-regulatory regatta season finds the Lake, there are still other charming objects for the photo lens. In Travemünde were the masts and the sails defeated the Finn Olympic in the smallest sailboat class that dinghys, sailing the Finn Gold Cup. The one-man dinghy developed as the successor to the old Olympic dinghy is under 10 square meters canvas and acquired Olympic since 1952 in Helsinki. Discipline was, friends all over the world.
The German European champion Willi cow pasture, proved how little this tough competitive sport still with the old ideas of the Imperial yacht club sailing has to do.
Dinghys characterized the Finn, that is in them - despite repeated capsizing still a race to win. But these images also show how close to the water this sport is stored. Very A lot drier sitting in this 650 PS strong motor boats, which opposed flew a winner's trophy in Cowes about 155 miles.
To win you need as well A lot of technical skill like on-board luck here.

Rural equestrian Festival the happiness of this earth should be however easier to To find on the back of a horse. And it is believed that given the hordes of Indians like to. After all, it went to historical things such as the "rape of the Sabine women", where some people got to feel at the horse show in Lüneburg, that the raping of women can be quite painful.
The large horses had Very much A lot harder work to do in Lüneburg. On the soggy course, many horse and rider fell into time-consuming disputes with the obstacles.
SA jumping to the conclusion of the tournament, the Bremen Herbert Meyer, "Teja" clinched second place. "Dom Fee" and the victory horse "Cremona", the favored Helga Köhler won the third and first place and won the "prize of the city of Lüneburg".

What much is freedom worth to us?
The Western prosperity, facing the promotion of Kennedy's, to make more sacrifices, conveys also in these days the image of carefree security. The almost sedate; seemingly self-satisfied social and political life in the Federal Republic led us to ask the German willingness to make sacrifices. The audience, which is used to buy, what it wants, and apparently no price is too high, surprised us with answers, which we To want hope, that there were not only lip service.

The wall of people in East Berlin are accessible now only by waving and silent gestures. Ulbricht inhumane border goes right through families.
Now getting clearer actions of the protective powers confront the seeming inevitability of events in Berlin. Reinforcements roll on the sector border, to prevent violation of the zone units.
Under the eyes are giving free Vopos installation teams include the recent leaks. A cemetery grille is removed, and replaced by a wall. Shortly before August 13, Ulbricht had claimed that the "earned MacEachern of the people" not sure there were, to build border walls in Berlin.
Nothing documented the helplessness of the zone regime more than the brick churches, which lie on the border; and nothing denounces more those responsible in the East as these faces.
These armed guards who are celebrated by Pankow as guardian of peace, create situations which seem at all tragedy like a staircase wit of the history of the world. A boy from Berlin enclave sails ice cellar under English armoured protection to school.
Germany in 1961: a young couple getting married in East Berlin. In West Berlin, is the mother of the bride on the border. She can only wave over their greeting.
