Difficult to take, was inside the shop, and all that lovely afternoon sun was streaming in through the window. Wanted to get the slogan on the box together with a few of the surrounding tea things to give it some context. Ended up with a composition I'm not really convinced of, also the blown-out bits on the teapot are a nuisance but on the other hand the general yellowness of the image is so full of springtime feelings (just read in a home design magazine that yellow is the new in colour for furniture - yellow sideboards, yellow chairs, even a limited-edition yellow Billy shelf from IKEA - haha, when I wanted yellow fronts for my new kitchen about a year ago I was told by one salesperson that I was twenty years too late, the trendy colours were white and aubergine, I think you can imagine where I did NOT buy the kitchen in the end), and the tea you can buy in the place is so good that I simply had to shoot this image despite all its (and my) shortcomings.

Rotes Sofa in einem Nobelmöbelladen am Neuen Wall, Hamburg, gesehen auf dem Weg zu einer Weihnachtsfeier. Red Sofa, seen in a posh furniture shop at Neuer Wall, Hamburg, spotted while on my way to a Christmas party.

... of single-malt whisky, seen at a tobacconist's in Hamburg's Waitzstraße. I found the bottles (and their contents) very attractive but refrained from asking for the price.

Einer der beiden Partner, die gerade den ersten Preis für die hässlichste Weihnachtsdeko aller Zeiten gewonnen haben. One of the two partners who've just won first prize for the ugliest Christmas decoration ever. As to the title: If you call someone "bunter Hund", it means he/she sticks out like a sore thumb, but the pun is lost, as the literal translation is "colourful dog", which wouldn't make sense in English.
