Very cool! I love the pictures so far - this is excellent, exactly the kind of thing I was hoping to inspire. Thanks Richard and Andi, and I cannot wait to see more contributions!

So, to keep things fresh, a couple more from me.

Today is Mother's Day so the kids and I took Krista out to her favorite Japanese steakhouse. Needless to say, Captain Henry tagged along! If any of you have been to these types of things before, you know you sit at a communal table - the looks we got were great! :D:D:D Some things just cannot be explained to people...

So here are two shots, one with a steam cloud, and the other when the chef lit the cooking table on fire! CH was singed but unharmed! :D

Hmmm ... Looks like Andi's Vikings are invading Europe ... ;)

Great fotos, Andi !!!

OK, Henry ... It looks like the challenge is on ... ;)

Who can take a picture of a Klicky in the real world where no Klicky should be? ...  ;D
(We must remember that children visit this site!)

I am setting out with Tim Dawkins and my camera. See y'all later ... :)

All the best,
Richard

Is that your boat moored behind Tim on the second photo, Richard?

I've never been to a Japanese restaurant, Henry, but it seems quite a dangerous place for klickies! :lol: I hope everyone enjoyed their meals. :)

Beautiful viking pics, Andi. Very atmospheric! 8-)

Hmmm... yes. I'm sure some of us have seen pics that fit your proviso but wouldn't be suitable for posting here. ;)

The "Bodensee" is internationally also known as "Lake of Constance" just for those who are not aware about what talking (sorry Andi, I don't want to be smart-alecky or self-opinionated, I just want to make some advertising for this great place -- I lived on its west side my whole childhood/youth/schooltime, so there is a personal relationship to it ... *sniff* ... has been really nice there ...)

Lake Constance I've heard of, the Bodensee I hadn't.  I knew, roughly, that Lake Constance is south Germany, but the Bodensee sounded sort of Baltic to me.  Geography not alway a strong point! :'(

Hi Little Jo,

Hello, Jochen ...

I don't think that Cap'n Henry will object to our straying slightly "off topic" to discuss a wonderful place like Lake Constance/Konstanz.

The town of Konstanz is one of my favourite places in the entire world! And, would be a great place to do some picture taking with Playmobil Klickys!

Konstanz is one of the few places in Germany that was virtually untouched by the Second World War. Only about a kilometre from the Swiss border, Konstanz was used as a place for prisoner exchange throughout the war. Because of this, there are many original buildings dating back hundreds of years that would be perfect to use for Klicky fotos ... :)

BTW ... Lake Constance (Bodensee) is not a land-locked lake! It is the beginning of the Rhine!

So ... Andi and Jochen ... How about some Klicky pictures from Konstanz?

All the best,
Richard

When Hans the travelling klicky came to visit Inverness in the summer of 2003, we took him with us on holiday to Orkney. I took quite a lot of photos with him in them, but mostly he just appears from behind, as a spectator, so they're not particularly interesting Playmo shots.

Here's a snapshot of him taken at John o' Groats, the most northerly town in Great Britain. :)

Also got some pictures i had taken when Hans was here in 2003. Don't think i ever got to post them.

Here's Hans at the Blue Lagoon in Comino (3rd Maltese island). Behind him you can see a 17th century fort built by the knights. Whoever saw the "Count of monte Cristo".... that's the supposedly "Chateau D'If".
