Nicole Doepper really turns people’s head on the streets, but because of something else apart from her looks. The German woman adopted the female llama when it was a baby and looked after it, since its leg was amputated. “Socke” (”Sock”) is Nicole’s roommate for over 3 years and it follows her everywhere she goes.

We are all fans of the green roofs that are constantly showing up everywhere around us. Iceland and Norway are the ones that pioneered the movement centuries ago, the trend being adopted by Germany in the 1960s.
