My Shaky, Shaky Hands
Call it crazy to post this image, but I’m not a professional photographer. I still rely on the auto functions of my digital camera, be it compact or system. I’ve tried to use the different motive settings but it’s not that easy. I can’t remember how I took this pic, perhaps I turned off the flash or something. I usually try taking pics with or without flash to see the difference. Sometimes it depends on the light condition of the place, sometimes it depends on the camera’s quality that an image taken with or without flash comes out good, if not perfect. Although most of the times, perhaps, depends on the hands of the photographer. Just like the one who took this pic. Ahhh!

I-rrish co coff-ee, an-ny o-one?
In need of image database
I thought of posting the pic of the stadium where Madonna held a two night-concert last weekend, and which I took a few months ago but that picture has gone somewhere, buried in my stock of images. While looking through all folders, I realized my photos were like hit by a tsunami scattered everywhere. It wasn’t even easy to find in the My Pictures folder because of the way the folders were named. I found lots of images, yes, good and bad. And the worse image above, lol! Desperate to find what I was looking for, I searched for an image database instead and I found a couple of sites. I want to know how you keep track of all your digital photos cos it’s a waste of time browsing through all image folders when you are looking for just one.
On A Holiday Tour
This is my first time to blog about my holiday trip and actually don’t know where or how I start. It will become a personal diary if I am going to write about the day to day events. Hubby and me are now on our third trip within Europe by car and thought of staying in Berlin as the first destination and thereafter Prague and Poland. I should have posted something last night when I we arrived in Lubeck in Germany but my mouse didn’t work it must have been damaged in the case. Though the internet in the hotel was apparently cheap (€0.15/min.), I skipped to blog cos I am not at all comfortable with this touch pad thing, in other words, I don’t like it.
Anyway, hubby and me left home on a Sunday afternoon at around 3:00pm driving southwards. We took the car aboard the ferry (Scandlines) in Helsingborg to Elsinore in Denmark instead of driving all the way to Malmo, the city in the south of Sweden for it would take more time driving on the bridge to Copenhagen. Two hours drive from Elsinor took us to another harbour, Rodbyhavn to aboard a ferry again (Scandlines, too) to finally get to Puttgarden in Germany. It was about a quarter past eight so we decided to stay in Lubeck, Germany and found a hotel to stay at around 10.30 pm. It was about two hours drive from Puttgarden.
Before I continue this post, here are some of the pics we took on the way and after driving around Lubeck this morning before we headed to where we are now – Berlin.

The Castle of Hamlet
The Kronborg Castle in Denmark, known as the setting for Shakepeare’s Hamlet. It was also there where Hamlet was performed live for the first time to mark the 200th death anniversary of Shakepeare. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take a closer look at the castle because I was on a ferry when I took this picture.

The St. Marien Church in Lubeck, Germany in the background. After taking this picture, we went back to the car as it started to drizzle. Not a good day to walk around the city though.

After Lubeck, we drove to Hamburg, another city in Germany. This is how the central station looks. We stayed for a while in and outside the station, bought some souvenirs before heading to Berlin.
This is our third tour around Europe by car and it’s exciting as usual.
