Windmill Betty came to mind when I saw that the morning might well bring beautiful colours in the sky. That was quite nice, but unfortunately – due to the season – not so optimal from the point of view. On the way back, I stopped again at the road towards Nordleda. That was better…

Historic Town Hall Otterndorf
Yesterday evening we took a few pictures of the historic town hall in Otterndorf. Actually, I thought there wouldn’t be much going on there, but, far from it… One car after the other drove along the market street and often through the picture. So it took longer than expected.
