 | Peenemuende Hi all, I might have a job in Hamburg in 4 weeks time if the quote is accepted then I will have to hang around for 3 days IN Germany as I will be setting up an exibition and then come back when the expo is over and take everything down and return it to the uk so I thought I might take the camera and check out Peenemuende as there is loads to see.... I have check out google earth and I reckon I could cover quite a bit in that time has anybody else been.....??? Lee F

Another cross was made of three nails from the roof truss of the old cathedral. It was later transferred to the new cathedral, where it rests on its altar. The cross of nails has become a symbol of peace and reconciliation across the world. There are over 160 Cross of Nails Centres all over the world, all of them bearing a cross made of three nails from the ruins, similar to the original one | |

| Any chance you could strap a dirty scary looking doll with no head to the radiator? That often seems to make white vans go even faster...
