Aino from Värikollaasit didn’t give us colours directly for today’s collage but the prompt “dry / wet”. My collage turned out silver.

Different stovepipe music
A marching band with members all wearing stovepipe hats. I apologise for the slight blur, my camera was broken and I didn’t notice at the time.

Powerful Post
This sign: “post” meaning post of course, “Kraft” meaning power in German is from a time when post services changed from stagecoaches transporting people and mail to buses transporting people and mail. This bus service (including delivering mail overland) ran from 1904 to the 1950s when the German post office stopped transporting passengers. They tried again in the 2010s to join the burgeoning passenger bus service in Germany but they stopped that business after a few years.
Oh, and I just had to do a Brian and include a music link. PJ Powers and Hotline was the biggest band in South Africa in the 1980s, the first commercially successful crossover band (crossover meaning they had fans with all the different population groups). PJ Powers had (has?) a successful solo carreer afterwards, and international fans might have heard her in the movie “Invictus”. One of the biggest hits was “Jabulani” (meaning “be happy!”), not quite incidentally our eldest son’s middle name.
Oh my, there were a lot more words today.

How to make a ruin hospitable
Burg Schönburg above the town of Oberwesel in the Rhine Valley is today a refined hotel (we stayed in the not-quite-so-refined youth hostel next to it – we had the better view!). Maybe the castle would look a little less hotchpotch if they had used a greyish brown stone? In any case, I love the flag.
Ragtag Daily Prompt: Hotchpotch
The lake lies still and smiles
