The colour in these photos have not been changed, they are naturally desaturated.
Is it steps? Is it a ladder? There are arguments for both.
Almost no meadow without a raised hide in the Odenwald. Usually the climb up is quite steep.
That’s why dads like to keep close.

I really like your first photo. I think because it is something I’ve not seen before. Wonderful post 😀

Thanks. I think it was somebody too lazy to put proper steps from the path to their allotment (the path is a kind of gully and the entrances to the allotments are higher up).

I like those ‘tree houses’ – it would be fun for me, let alone kids :-).
