Zu alt, um nur zu spielen. Zu jung, um ohne Wunsch zu sein.

For the “A photo a week” Challenge asking for photos with the subject being off-centre.
Our’s is not to wonder why
We met this dog. Wearing a neon green wig attached to his collar. It was ambling past us, obviously quite content and happy. I would have liked to ask him: why?

Home is where the heart is
Believe it or not – this was my playground when I grew up. No, I’m not of noble descent – our house was on the other side of the wall in the old part of town. One of the weirder influences this had on me is that I associate peacocks with a fuzzy, snug, and warm feeling. I remember that visitors staying overnight with my parents usually came to breakfast with a harrowed look on their faces and “What was THAT noise last night??!” on their lips. But to this day the shrill sound of a peacock’s call says “home” to me.

The future is on the horizon
Looking out from the Odenwald in Hesse over the upper Rhine valley. The wind turbines are all on the other side of the Rhine in the State of Rheinland-Pfalz (Rhineland-Palatinate) where politics were much more conducive to develop renewable power alternatives.

An afternoon in the countryside
Another collage in response to Värikollaasit’s colour prompt:
The photos were all taken on Friday while I was out scouting a trail for our running group in the area of the Modautal, in the Odenwald in Germany.

Satisfaction can be a duck
A number of years ago (a bigger number than I care to remember) I decided to try my hand on some creative stitchery. I’ve never done anything similar before or after but I still have a deep feeling of satisfaction whenever I look at this picture, made up of thread, seeds, pearls, mother-of-pearl pieces, and buttons.

Fighting the fire
St Florian is the patron saint of firefighters. This statue of him was erected in 1991 in front of the old building of the Munich fire brigade.
“O heiliger Sankt Florian, verschon’ mein Haus, zünd’ and’re an“, this not-really-serious prayer in German is a wellknown saying: “O Holy St Florian, please spare my house, set fire to another one”.
