Lance’s travelogue

Umm... Yeah

Umm... Yeah

For years, summer in Florida was kicked-off with a monster 3-day rock festival called LiveStock featuring some of the hottest hard rock bands of the year and some old standbys as well. But the real show was always the amazing group of people that gathered in the "campground." Drugs and alcohol were out in the open and nudity was omnipresent. At this particular festival in Zephyrhills, FL, "RealWildGirls" had set up a stage and drew quite a crowd of men who apparently had never seen a naked woman before and wanted to capture the rare moment on film.

The Bauhaus Archiv museum was undergoing some much-needed renovations when I visited in November 2007, but it was like a visit to heaven for a Mod like me...

"Ich Hab' Noch Einen Koffer In Berlin" - Berlin is perhaps THE most happening place on the planet right now. Especially for the art scene. You really get a sense how much Berliners value the arts. There are galleries and museums everywhere and the talent is abundant. There just wasn't enough time to see everything as usual. Hustle and bustle. But I just had to pause to shoot these two scooters on my way to get the rental car before we dashed off to Copenhagen. You can just imagine the wild weekend their owners likely had... Ja. Ja. Ja!

Tivoli Christmas Market - Copenhagen

Even though it was freezing for this Florida boy, the market was worth the entry fee. We bought some hand made ornaments and sipped hot chocolate to keep our faces & hands warm.

Night at Tivoli Christmas Market - Copenhagen.
There was an entry fee to get into the park so you could spend more money on overpriced crafts and meals. But it was still worth it for the Tivoli experience. It was too cold for this Florida boy to ride the rides, but we found some nice hand made gifts and sipped hot chocolate to keep warm.
The traditional smorgasboard was a bit too adventurous for us (many raw-looking meats) but we did find some excellent pepper steak along the rows of restaurants.
