Summer Sea and Sun - for a stormy January night

[whole diary]

[grahame]

It's a stormy night out there - best batten the hatches down for Storm Isha. Looking forward to summer, all of these my pictures in recent years at the beginning, end, or during journeys made just by bus, train and ship. Can you recognise any of the places?

Some good identifications - and for those left,
one was taken from a train
one I had arrived by train
and one could have been by train.
One is in the British Isles
one is in the USA (someone got the country)
and the final one of the six not yet identified does not match any of those clues!)

To digress slightly:  I used to go to Hamburg regularly, the German for "shandy" is "alster" - alledgedly because the purists say that it tastes like water from the lake !

Yep, I've heard some of my cousins and others in Hamburg refer to shandy as Alsterwasser.  I even ordered one at a little outdoor summer bar on the Jungfernstieg and the chap knew exactly what I meant.  I've not had a taste of the actual Alster lake or river so I can't make comparisons but the "Alsterwasser" was delicious!


Edit to correct the "autowrong" function that keeps insisting that the Alster river is called Alister!
