The Hat Ladies

While being on a trip, it is always nice to have something to focus on when taking photos. I met a woman who focused on butterflies. It did not take too long and I had found my personal focus: hats. Crimea is definitely a hat place.

  1. Sehr gute Idee, mal wieder ein Kopftuch zu tragen. Dein Badeanzug ist so schick!

  2. I never used to notice hats but now I do. I wish you would tell us some impressions you had visiting these places.

  4. Danke bzw. ja, finde ich auch, nakura. Ich liebe den Badeanzug. Er ist Vintage. Die Frau, der er gehörte passst schon lange nicht mehr hinein und so wurde ich beglückt.

    Susan, I left a longer comment on the last posting, "Back in Vienna", it explains a bit and I promise there is more to come. I just need to sort out the picture-loads and provide an online gallery with pics for my family. But then!!

    Ana, you would love Crimea! They dress with style, mothers and daughters walk together and the daughters don't show up with low-cut-jeans and T's but dresses and nice shoes! And all the men are really nicely shaved. ;-)
    How far from a beach do you live? In km it should not be that far. But mountains can turn a short distance into a long drive. Thank you for paying my blog a visit.

  5. Charming place and people!

    I miss wearing hats. I think I'll try again, this time a conservative and discreet cotton sun hat.

    I was thinking of buying slan old antique/collectible* hat pin for my straw hat back in Texas. There was a famous shop in Austin that sold all sorts of old curiosities and trinkets including lovely hat pins.
