A Sunday afternoon in Hannover

Many Wolf fans already know that John Kay spent some of the early years of his life growing up in Hannover, Germany. As an extension to the "Wolf Anthology" video project (currently under development) John brought his digital video camera along on our latest trip to Hannover in order to document several of the places that left a lasting impression on him as a child. He spent the better part of Sunday, June 9th, 2002 doing just that. We expect that some of the footage that was recorded in Hannover will be part of the anthology project. Enjoy the photos!
