    The Worst Is Over.

    A full day has passed, the change from one year to another has moved into the background, and we are left with the reality of everyday life, littered with the remains of fireworks and the occasional drinking spree along the edges of cold streets. Transport returns to normal

    All The Comforts Of Home.

    I'm not too sure when I first began to understand, or experience, the concept of a Home. I have moved from one house, one city, one country to another all of my life, rarely spending more than a few years in one place. The only exception was my last residence, a large house I bought about nineteen years ago in a small city. Looking back, though, from the comfort of my new apartment, it never really felt like home.

    Bremen: Before the CSD Parade

    It looked very thin on the ground initially, but then I was there very early with my camera, even before most of the exhibition and information tents had been set up. A few people gathered, meeting up with friends, greeting those they hadn't seen in a while, queuing up for a cup of water or a beer, and it was relatively quiet.

    Lübeck: 17 August 2024

    If there is one thing I have noticed about every single Christopher Street Day celebration / demonstration that I have attended over the years, it is the joy and pleasure of those taking part. Everywhere you turn there is a smiling face, there is music and people dancing.

    Sights Seen And Reported

    One of the things we forget, as we go about our daily lives, is that what we see, everything that parades itself in full glory before our eyes, is just for us and us alone. No one else gets to see, to experience, what we do in the same way.
