Lebensvoll an der Strand der Elbe, Hamburg

Also found here is der Alte Schwede,

An erratic granite boulder, migrating to Hamburg 400,000 years ago from Småland, south Sweden. Found in 1999 while dredging the Elbe, it’s been deemed Germany’s oldest immigrant,  achieving official citizenship in 2000.

And after walking the tightrope, that Reeperbahn in St. Pauli, dizzying –  glitz, filth and seduction all at once, to wind up and away through the cobbled streets of St. Pauli was a retreat into yet another underworld, the heartland of the dis/mis/interested and the de/re/generate, a hearty punk mecca.

“At ease, sailor”
