Schleswig-Holstein is Germany's holiday state - not only for guests from all over the world, but also for people from Schleswig-Holstein. This land is unique, diverse, and full of surprises - all the way to the most beautiful corners of its historic cities. This coffee-table book captures these characteristics with impressive image compositions. Oliver Franke works not only with classical holiday perspectives, but also with the residents and their everyday life. His pictures show the Nordic way of life - by sun, wind, and weather: A bird's-eye view of a sea bath, work scenes from the harbor or the spectacle of Europe's biggest maritime celebration: Kiel Week.
