I like to sit on top of a roof to think it all over … below five photos by frizztext, click on the pictures to enter his galleries on flickr.com
1 – Oia, Santorini, Greece
2 – Vlissingen, The Netherlands
3 – Blankenstein near Bochum, Germany
4 – Arnsberg, North-Rhine Westphalia
P.S.: no one knows ARNSBERG (Germany, North-Rhine Westphalia), but I lived there (aged 10 to 20 = an important fragment of everyone’s life) – maybe you like to visit the slide show below: after 40 years I returned to that city, where I started to learn guitar playing: and introduced to Arnsberg’s ears, where the journey on this “ship called guitar”, had carried me to (to a certain Mississippi feeling, strange for all the others in ARNSBERG):
5 – me, 1965, with a certain future tense …

“I believe that an artist has to be pretty selfish or self centered in order to produce work.” Yes, Shimon, but sometimes there is an interim break: a death of a good friend, Passover rituals – but I’m sure you’ll come back to your art one day …
Shalom and a fine Passover to you and yours!

I love the different roof-top photos, especially at different times of year. And of course the last one perched on a roof. Is that your favorite place to think, Frizz?

hi Pat, I liked to sit on that VW automobile roof (1965) – unfortunately the vehicle is gone meanwhile – R.I.P.

I love it Frizztext and I’m happy that I helped you to think of it. Your steel guitar not only sounds amazing but its beautiful as well. Lots of great inages, notably the one where you have your guitar over your shoulde, the one in front of the log pile and the little blue window hatch. An important fragment of your life indeed, Arnsberg must be a very special place, I hope it holds happy memories.

hi Gilly in UK,
the neighbourhood photos in your post inspired me to write about ARNSBERG:
thanks for your description of my slide show!
In every city we have the chance for good and bad experiences – had both.
P.S.:
in WW II British air force destroyed the wall of a lake nearby,
the Moehnesee… – many were killed by the flood;
and after 1945, after the liberation, the British Broadcast brought
wonderful new music inspiration to stupid Germany!

An adventure for sure. I wish I could show you the photo taken of an old red bug convertible that was being auctioned off in Atlantic City, NJ. You would be near, if not, drooling. 😉
