Anyone else from Germany?

June 6th, 2012
Just curious. Also, I'm wondering if anyone else shares my frustration about the horrible summer we have! Way too cold, and nothing but rain, and it's absolutely no fun taking pictures these days.

I am from Germany but I live in Shanghai ;) At the moment it's raining here but at least we have 26 degree. In 4 weeks we will spend 6 weeks in Germany and I really really hope we can enjoy summer with sunshine :)

My daughter is doing a student exchange to Bremen for 4 weeks in about 3 weeks time its winter out here so she was looking forward to a change.
June 6th, 2012
Will be in Germany in 4 weeks time and pray for "summer weather". I was quite unlucky the last couple of years so this year must be hot and sunny!!!!
Berlin here we come!!!!

I am from Germany but live in London. Still, same here for the weather. And yes, it is frustrating.

I'm born German and now live in Canada since 1955. at the moment we're on vacation here in Florida..the temperature was around the 35 and has gone down to 22..quite a drop. but it's going back up tomorrow with nothing but rain forcast for the rest of the week.

I am from Germany but live in LA now and am about to go to India....don't like the cold
June 6th, 2012
My mum is.... But as she doesn't do 365 that's not really any help is it :-)

And you're sounding too British moaning abou the weather haha

@shadowdancer

I am ;) living in Berlin. Totally understand what you mean. Yesterday was the coldest birthday I ever had. Still I am hopeful weather will turn around...I need to show off my pedicure I got yesterday and oh using my new camera a bit more...lol. Where do you live?
June 6th, 2012
@synke : Happy belated birthday! Yes, it's awfully cold, isn't it? I even have the heater running... I live near Kassel; hope I'll get some good documenta pictures over the next weeks. :-)
@andycoleborn : Haha! And I have always thought the Brits would bear their weather with dignity! ;-)
@boogie @karo @sabrinaromahn : Will keep my fingers crossed for warmer temperatures while you're here! :-)
@ottraveller : India sounds exciting! My sis was in LA a few weeks ago and she said there were some really cold nights also.
@tandem02 : Greaz picture! And yes, that's what it's looking like here. "Schafskälte"... you're probably right!
@elsbels @boogie : I've never been to Heidelberg, but I heard it's beautiful! :-)
@equinoxe @traeumerlein87 : Yup, crappy weather in many parts of Nothern Europe right now. :-(
@steeler : Hope she'sll enjoy her stay! :-)
June 6th, 2012
I live in Switzerland and the weather is BAD !
But yesterday we had a beautiful sun during the morning : perfect !
And my solution is to "escape"...last WE I was in Italy, the light there is always perfect !
Courage, summer will come for sure !
June 6th, 2012
I'm from Germany but live in the United states and its very hot here, too hot if you ask me lol
June 6th, 2012
I can see a theme here...I am from Germany but have lived in the North East of England for over 12 years now!
June 6th, 2012
yep, i live in the Ruhrgebiet, much rain these days but i hope it´ll get better soon! :)
June 6th, 2012
Spent one Austauschsemester Betriebswirtschaft a.d. Fachhochschule München in 1992, but from Holland. @jenniferruge is living in D.
June 6th, 2012
I live near Kaiserslautern and we have had lots of rain recently.
June 10th, 2012
S.D., I live in Stuttgart and have for seven years. I like the summers better here Virginia where they are HOT and HUMID. It sometimes rains 3-5 times in a day but between it's usually sunny with nice clouds.
What area do you live?
June 10th, 2012
@gnilrets : I live near Kassel. My sis lives in Stuttgart; she likes it there.
@jenniferruge @agentzuckerguss : Hope the summer will finally come to your areas. Still cloudy here...
@cocobella : YOu're lucky to live so close to Italy; I, too, heard the light is great there! :-)
@tanja_1211 : I agree, too hot isn't great either!
@bmnorthernlight : That sounds nice! :-)
@djepie : Ah, Bavaria. Did you like it?

This thread seems to be abandoned for a while... as a fan of recycling, I don't want to make another. :-)
Maybe there are a couple of people around who'd eventually be ready to do a little meetup. I live in Hamburg and as the days get longer again, I could imagine organizing a 365 get-together. Hamburg is full of nice and interesting places, I'm sure it'd be fun.
So, anyone from Hamburg (or nearby), who would be interested? :-)
May 3rd, 2013
@endrem -- Ah, too bad I didn't see this before I went to Hamburg a few weeks ago! I'm in Berlin, and definitely interested in a photo meet-up if you come this way. @synke and @kty also live here, although we've never met in person.

@agentzuckerguss -- I might be heading your direction in a few weeks!
May 3rd, 2013
@jyokota Occasionally (like 2-3 times a year) I go on a business trip to Berlin, I'll keep in mind to let you know the next time so we can do a little photowalk there and maybe have a coffee or beer together :)
If you happen to come to HH again, let me know :)
May 3rd, 2013
@endrem -- I enjoyed looking through your album. What a great eye you have, and the b&w project is especially fun when you look at the "month at a glance" calendar. I'm only in Berlin til June 8 this year, but who knows when I will be back again. I tend to be in Munich in the summers. I live in Chicago most of the year.

@shadowdancer Be patient Grasshopper - it's not summer yet. Flowers need rain!
May 4th, 2013
@agentzuckerguss My parents were from Essen/Gelsenkirchen and Dusseldorf.
May 5th, 2013
@jyokota I see. I'm not sure it will work out until June 8 for me. Munich isn't around the corner either... But who knows what time brings? :)
Thank you a lot for your views and comments! I'll return it, but now we have to use the nice weather :-)
May 10th, 2013
@jyokota sorry, I am only seeing this now. haven't been on here in a while. However, Despite not having posted anything latley at all, I am still photographing a lot. I would like to meet up and photograph together before you leave Berlin. I am pretty booked all the weekends and holidays but maybe sometime during the week would be great! what do you think?
May 11th, 2013
@synke -- I would LOVE that !!!!! Are you available evenings on weekdays or during the day? I am leaving Berlin June 8. I was more than two weeks behind in posting and am just now getting caught up myself.
