It's out of focus

[HeadForItZizou]

My hometown!!



[tareqbusiness]

I used to be there in 1995, I lived 3 month. Cannot forget the dreaming small town, Bremen.

I used to live in 15 Fleetrade, near Hohwisch.

What a time!!

[PaveLow1000]

@tareqbusiness I live in Fleetrade 15 now since 2006!! Yeah Bremen is beautiful small town!!

[ottokees]

[sprichbeeke]

[phonebookoftheworld]

did you also make a Video about Vancouver ?

[phonebookoftheworld]

very nice video, beautiful city .... we just made a link to it

from our Phonebook of Bremen

[sprichbeeke]

Interesting..I just looked at the phonebook page...not quite clear what the it's exactly about...also noticed that you also linked the "Market Day" video...Thanks...you obviously liked them :-)

[DardisMusic]

Ich war noch niemals in Bremen (oder NY wie in das Lied) und es ist ziemlich weit von Nürnberg aber es schaut sehr schön aus. Jemand hat mir gesagt das es 'fühlt' ein bißchen wie Antwerpen in Belgien - nicht schlecht wenn wahr.

Na, schönes Video! Danke!

[sprichbeeke]

Danke fuer's vorbeischauen!

Ja Bremen ist wirklich eine schoene Norddeutsche Hansestadt...lohnt schon einen Besuch.

[Perroquet51]

I think if I went there, they'd have to physically toss me out because I wouldn't leave, otherwise.

[sprichbeeke]

Really ? ;-)

[uboniuz]

Archeticturaly sprechendes dieser Stelle ist sehr reich .. die cabble Steine (wenn ich rechts) sind wundervoll und der Platz ist sauber! Sauber! Sauber .. BEAUTIFUL!

[sprichbeeke]

Danke!...where did you lern to speak German...? Thanks so much for stopping by!

[sprichbeeke]

Thanks...glad you liked it! Those bells are wonderful..are't they?!

[LizBizToo]

Thank you...love seeing the world, especially cathedrals, and hearing the bells just adds so much to it! :)

[sprichbeeke]

Thanks , Liz for your comment...sorry for the late answer...Life, you know :)

[romapsychic]

beautiful video ! bremen live's again! 5 stars

[sprichbeeke]

Thanks, Jim!

[MartySchrader]

Did you pet the gargoyle?

[sprichbeeke]

Probably did...pretty unresistable these beasts with the somewhat naive faces :-)

[aries77pm]

Beautiful! Germany's got the tallest, most impressive cathedral towers I've seen. I'll make sure I'll visit Bremen next time.

[sprichbeeke]

Thank you Pauola, for commenting. These old cathedrals are beautiful and impressive. Bremen is a long way from Switzerland...but you might enjoy the cathedral in ULM in Swabia...

[enzosecondo]

Ciao Beeke! Che bella città è Brema! Vun off my best students(ze girl is vun haff Churr-mun end vun haff Italian) hess gonn to liff dere: hair mazzer is fromm Bremen,too, ja.

[sprichbeeke]

Thanks Enzo..

...my son is living there since May of this year...got a Post-Doc Fellowship at the Jacobs University there...and my mother lives not far from there...so, enough reason for me to visit last summer.

Always a pleasure having YOU "stop by"...Beeke

Ps. Great your written version of a German accent!

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

are you for whom the bell tolls? this video is dy-no-mite!! (sorry, just watched a musof video and he told me to say dynomite. we're bringing back the adjective) :-)

[sprichbeeke]

Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting on this not well made and way too compressed little video! Peace!

[dleifyamjr]

Very nice to see the great artisan work in all aspects of the city. From the stones in the roads to the lions at the gates or doors. Lost is the desire to embelish with high art. Now it is better the cut labor costs rather than leave works of art for the future to see.

Thanks for the tour. Small as it was.

[sprichbeeke]

Ja... over here we are soo used to impermanence...I remember, when I first (35+ years ago) lived in Calgary...I was quite amused about many large signs which proudly read "Another Demolition Project by... "

Having grown up in a city which was 87% levelled during WW2...the idea of Demolition Projects...seemed rather odd...

[anniehiggy]

What a beautiful place - and those bells!

[sprichbeeke]

Yes...a beautiful place...and even to the non reigious...the sound of the church bells "at home" always stires me.

[BradThunder]

I know modern architecture can be beautiful and inspirational and I know it would also cost a fortune these days to build in that same style, but when contemporary structures are falling down around our feet mere decades after construction, you have to wonder what did they know then that we simply don't now!

[dleifyamjr]

I believe they intended for them to last forever. We now forcast real estate by future value. So anything built apon it is less than the value of the land. History in US terms is decades not centuries or longer.

[BradThunder]

Ah, good old 'built-in obsolescence'!

[sprichbeeke]

Hi Gary...thanks for dropping by...I see you have a nice "conversation there with Randy...

You are so right..and even if we tried to bild structures like that today...the spirit would no be there. The beauty of them is also that one feels that those who built those buildings...did all their work from a deep sense of it's importance to their own salvation...
