Kiel

 

by Bernd Natke

Made by MOCA 

 

 Kiel is the capital and most populous city in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein. 

With a population of around 250,000, it is Germany's largest city on the Baltic Sea.

The city of Kiel was founded in 1233 as Holstenstadt tom Kyle  

 

I can't believe that my previous trip to Kiel to take a cruise with AIDA was already 4 years ago 

Since march 2026 a humpback whale stranded four times on four different spots. Screenshot CNN 

Since friday, a rescue team tries to safe the whale a remove him from his near-coastal place.

A weekend full of jigsaw puzzles and fun (25th-27th August 2023)

 Usually I choose the Megamarathon to push away everything that's not related to jigsaw puzzles, but the past weekend was a very special one. No stress to assemble as many jigsaw puzzles as possible.

A close friend and her husband visited us - we know each other so many years and are both members in the german jigsaw forum. 

She completed the 2nd quarter of the Brueghel and began the 3rd, meanwhile I assembled many 500-pcs-puzzles as well as "Pixels"

I accompagnied her on a walk to find out about geocaching and we assembled many jigsaw puzzles as well.

 These are mine :-)

Animal World Map

Sorry, but this jigsaw puzzle is of poor quality. Although new (the bag seems to be unopened) there are 4 (!) missing pieces, thin pieces, bend pieces and there's too much dust left. 

Except of that the comic-style motif is nice and information provided on the reverse side are of high educational use

explore some of the animals here

 blue whale

 octopus

 dugong

arctic fox and two harp seals
