Fotografieren Verboten!!

I hope the owner of this Christmas Market Stall,
located on a public street in the center of Weimar,
doesn’t mind me putting up a picture of his bird houses.

I wasn’t the only one taking photos
of the beautiful creations!

  • Is the booth run by a former member of the Stasi?

    It is a nice display so I have a tough time figuring out why they would not want photographs. *shrugs*

  • disenchanted

    So pretty!

  • Never tell Adam that he’s not allowed to do something… He’ll just do it anyway.

    What would they do to you if they caught you photographing? Beat you over the head with wooden ornaments?

  • Reko

    Mentality left over from pre-1990, methinks.

  • The sign saying NO PHOTOS is probably to discourage would-be enterpreneurs taking shots of them to pass on to a factory in China with an order of a million knock-offs.
    Not that rip-offs would be bad for business. The next year they’d be able to market theirs as the original one and only, beware of cheap imitations! while jacking up the price.

  • Cynical Queer, Reko: Probably more paranoid idiot capitalist.

    disenchanted: If they weren’t so big, I’d buy one.

    Snooker: I’m such a bad boy.

    Jul: I suspect half the Weihnachtmarkt shoppers would leave bloodied.

    Ian: Most of the crap at the Wiehnachtmarkt does come from China — except for the Honey from Finland–but that’s overpriced.
