A picturesque red light district...

To change the mood a little, how about a look at this picturesque street full of quaint buildings? In fact it's the red light district of Flensburg, a port town in northern Germany near the border with Denmark which in the last days of the war became the operational centre of the Third Reich after Hitler's suicide.. (no, no: that's enough German history - Ed).

There wasn't much going on when I took a walk along this street of shame in the rain but it's hardly buzzing, is it? Despite that bloke in front of me looking like he might generate a bit of excitement...
no, not a peep.
