woodstock

The synonym of a whole generation for peace, drugs, flower power, hippies and love for free. Thereby the legendary concert hand´t taken place in woodstock, it happened on the muddy meadow of mr. max yasgur`s farm in bethel about 70 km away. We did not go to woostock for nostalgic reasons, but because we wanted to visit our friends sally and michael. Both are photographers and i have known michael for years, since he bought my nude photography tablebooks and he asked me to authograph them once we had been to new york city some years ago.

Woodstock is a small, lovable town in the catskill mountains with only 3500 inhabitants. The peace sign is displayed still everywhere, but now on coffee mugs, t-shirts or neon signs. Peace the merchandising.

Sally and michael welcomed us like long lost friends, although we had met the two only once. Michael even offered his studio space including lightning equipment for disposal, invited us to dinner and showed us his lovable and beautifully designed farm. Great to experience such a hospitality, a great thank you to both of them. and here is michael´s website: http://www.photosensualis.com

Because of our truck we were approached by german-born thomas and he invited us not only to the family dinner in his house, but instead offered us his entire estate during his absence for disposal. So much trust and hospitality !! Wow, the spirit of woodstock lives on. At least here in the catskill mountains. © n.g.

niagara falls

Each second the content of a million bathtubs of water plunges over the edge of the niagara falls and that´s only 25% of what had flown over the cliffs in former times.

Today, the bigggest amount of water goes tot he hydro electric plant and for the tourist show they let rinse more water at daytime than at nighttime – But even the many trinkets-shops you have to pass if you want to get to the attractions can´t distroy the fascination of the falls. It is enough to avoid the ugly cornet buildings in the camera viewer and you can enjoy a great nature experience. © n.g.

With over 2,7 million inhabitans toronto is the largest city in canada and a very vibrant metropolis that just experienced a major construction boom. Everywhere they dug and built, trucks carrying concrete is a part of the cityscape so as the daily traffic jam. © n.g.

We drove through picton and saw many oldtimers standing on a meadow close to the street. I asked if this would be a selling show and whether this would take place each year. “Well,” so the answer “there are some cars available but the come together is every week. Every thursday evening. ”

So, whenever you will end up in picton, then thursdays!

the small village on lake ontario is praised by our travel guide as a pearl. But not everyone lives here on the sunny side of life and also a striking number of shops on the main street are waiting for new operators. Siam sushi however was always crowded and very rightly. highly recommended – perhaps because of the look-out? © n.g.
