Decisions

are really hard. Ritva asked to chose one colour for six photos. But … see title. So I decided to show one photo per colour (which was the other option). Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Choose a Colour!

The definition of hell

“So this is hell. I’d never have believed it. You remember all we were told about the torture-chambers, the fire and brimstone, the “burning marl.” Old wives’ tales! There’s no need for red-hot pokers. Hell is—other people!”
― Jean-Paul Sartre, No Exit

During the last days of the war in April 1945 prisoners from the concentration camp Dachau walked in agony past this place to an unknown fate.

Sartre’s quote from his stage play has always been true. In small, insidious ways, and in large, horrific ways.

There were numerous death marches from concentration camps to other locations (i.e. away from the advance of the allied forces). In 2025 there was a remembrance march passing this sculpture in Bad Tölz behind a banner reading “Never again”.

All portioned up

I don’t know why this large, old tree was cut down. It stood very close to an old house, on a slope, maybe it was getting to be a precarious situation. It was hewed down and chopped up, in manageable portions.

White Waves

It’s asparagus time in Germany. Most fields have lost their plastic covers but when the covers are on and the wind comes from the right direction it looks as if there are waves going over a white sea. The plastic waves are undulating.
