Photographer’s Note

The day before yesterday I showed you supporters on their way to the German football cup Final 2009 in Berlin. Here I show you some of the important preparations for the footballmatch just outside the railway station where the supporters left their trains. The colours of the emblem of one one the teams (Bayer 04 Leverkusen) are red and black. In spite of these preparations the other team (Werder Bremen) won ...

Good morning Frank!
I am not too interested in football myself, but I can understand the chauvinismn to a certain degree... But I can appreciate a good composition, like what you show here, with these three heads in a line, and also the strong colours!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Morgen Frank,
Ja ja, diese Welle ist nun auch bei uns vorbei. Fuer zuenaechst mal "ruhige" drei Monate und dann geht's wieder los.

hallo Frank,

so hat der Werkself die DFB Pokal verloren??
schade...ich stehe gar nicht auf dem SV Werder...(bin naehmlich schwarz-gelb!)

interessantes Bild...Fussball besteht auch aus Farben, Ritualen und Leidenschaft, obwohl viele derzeit - und ziemlich zurecht - denken, es geht nur um Kohle

ciao
Silvio

Hi Frank,

i don't have to ask to which team those fans are belonging as it seems evident...are you also for them? A lovely daily sport scene and a good POV for this close-up.

Cheers,
Edi

Frank,
This is a nice closeup of this young lady applying the team colors. One of our Florida universities, Florida State University has a very similar tradition. Florida State's mascot is the Seminole Indians and young ladies called scalp hunters paint the war stripes on fans faces outside the stadium prior to football games (American Football that is). I also understand that Happy Birthday is in order for you today!!
Have a great Birthday,
Asa
