Uelzen in May picdump #1 (42)
Thursday, May 1st, 2008 11:18 pmI went for a two hour walk today to take some pictures of this town, as I realised that I barely have any.
Sorry about the length of this entry.
After this walk, I also remember what I dislike about Uelzen. People stare at you wherever you go. I know what you think - and yes, I would probably also think so if they did not - but if a person keeps following you around a church and keeps whispering to their husband, I think I do have the right to be suspicious - especially if they are clearly uninterested in the headstones.
It's normal that in this town, people have so little to do that they keep following every moving object until it is out of sight, the more so today, as it is the first of May and many Uelzeners don't have anything to do apart from sitting in the cafés or cycling around town. Or going for walks, or following around young chubby women taking pictures. Well, and some of them also were chanting drunken paroles.
The weather was great, I managed to take a couple of the pictures done I wanted to take for ages.
I love the many timbered houses in Uelzen. The oldest I've found was built in the fourteenth century, destroyed later on and rebuilt on the site. Most of the other beautiful timbered houses I found were first built in the seventeenth century - but most were refurbished at a later point or destroyed and rebuilt.
Part 2.
