Portraits, anime style
On the left, it’s me, on the right, my nephew. I have no problem of posting his photo because he is really not recognisable. Neither am I, for that matter (unless you recognise my earrings, aka bottle caps).Also my eyes are not blue, neither are his (I think). The hair and my glasses are close enough I guess.

“Aufguss” every hour
I’m told that there is no special word for the ladling of scented water over hot stones which is done at regular intervals in a sauna. It not only smells nice, it immediately raises the temperature and usually burns in your nostrils.
Here it is de rigeur to go nude in a sauna (sitting on your towel but not being rolled up in it) so my nudibums can illustrate.
Frankfurt’s Passion
I guess you can feel passionate about almost anything. This is the “Bembel Express” in Frankfurt, a tram wagon that can be booked as a party train. It has Goethe (the Frankfurt born, German famous poet) on the it, the famous row of houses called “the Römer”, the central place of Frankfurt with the medieval (rebuild) townhall, a lebkuch (hard ginger cake) heart sold at street festivities, and the blue bembel (the grey stoneware jugs used for cider) on the left which mentions the Frankfurt character Frau Rauscher undeniably linked with the sour cider of Hesse culture. To top it off the add is one for cider, “out of tradition and passion”.

Autumn leaves
The original was photographed with an in-camera edit called “toy pop”. The following are Whatsapp AI edits.
It’s not always a simple edit sometimes AI cuts the photos slightly differently or removes parts of the photo (e.g. in the “cartoon” and “collage” edits the branch in the upper left corner has disappeared) or adds elements (particularly in the edits “goth” and the single colour edits elements and even people are sometimes added – of which I don’t have control).
