The Kieler Woche (Kiel Week) with more than 3.000.000 visitors every year is the largest public festival in northern Europe and the largest sailing event in the world.
There is a lot of music and food courts and performance artists all over town around the Kiel Firth, so it is always very loud and colorful.
Using the Hipstamatic iPhone app I managed to get some very dark, atmospheric pictures of it.
ARRRR...this is how a pirate starts his day - the strongest coffee in the dirtiest cup! And then get ready for a nice day of plunderin' and pillagin' and burnin' and lootin'!
