Subject: Architecture

Folks,

Recently we -- mostly Heather, Jonny and I -- talked about gable designs and 
mentioned Olland (Dat Ole Land, Das Alte Land) on the western border between 
Hamburg and Lower Saxony, an area founded by immigrants from the Netherlands 
a long time ago.  This also happens to be the oft-mentioned home region of 
Clara Kramer-Freudenthal.  (Map:

Those of you who are interested might like to check out the following 
picture presentations offering glimpses of the traditional local 
architecture and more:

At the bottom, there is a link to a commercial site 
(http://www.fred-lang.de/tuerenpo.htm) illustrating characteristic front 
door designs.

Enjoy!
Reinhard/Ron
