Here are some more images from Copenhagen 7 December to 12 December - the first week.
Daniel Lau from Australia on the 28th day of his fast. Climate Justice Fast participants consumed nothing but salt and water starting as early as the Barcelona Climate talks on Nov. 6. They promised not to eat until a 'fair, ambitious and binding' deal would be reached. Finally on Dec. 20, they ended the 44 day fast in disappointment at what Copenhagen failed to achieve.
Lumumba Di-Aping, ambassador from Sudan and head of the G77-China group, right, and Bernarditas de Castro Muller, negotiator for the G77-China group from the Philippines, left, attend a press conference Dec. 9.
The tombstone of the military-industrial complex, one of several figurative funerals held in Christiania during the two week summit. Christiania is a hippie commune in the center of Copenhagen that has operated independently of the city since the 1970s. Other funerals (one each day) celebrated the death of such perceived vices as Capitalism, Egoism and the American Dream.

Next, I went home for a few weeks of good home cooking and catching up.
Finally it was time for a Deutschland adventure!!
First Erlangen, then a day in Nuremberg:
Mario's friend - an excellent tour guide!
The Zeppelin Field Grandstand - the only part of Hitler's planned Reich Party Rally Grounds to be completed and used for Nazi rallies.
Now there is a ladies' toilet where Hitler might have entered onto the grandstand.
Across a frozen lake: what would have been the largest stadium to date, planned by the Nazi architect Albert Speer, was never completed. The building has now been integrated into the Documentation Center.

My gracious host switched sides... 20 years too late!
