Chairmen

Three members of staff of the local tourist center in St Peter-Ording, Germany, carry beach chairs on Friday. The last beach chairs are being set up in preparation for the forthcoming summer season, with local businesses expecting a stampede of visitors for the first weekend in May. Around 300,000 chairs along the various beaches on the German coastline have been prepared for the first sunbathing guests of the season.May 01, 2005
