I thought I’d start with local traditional hats – the tricorn of the town’s dignitaries and the simple round hat of the ordinary men.

Modern hats are sometimes less but often just as stylish. And talking of accessories – sometimes a hat is not enough, it seems.

And a hat doesn’t even have to fit, even in the case of magnolias. And the tower carries the name of his hat: Blauer Hut. Blue hat, you wonder … the challenge this week is called “hats off” and the blue slate hat came off several hundred years ago.
