This Glutton

William Shakespeare: Sonnett 1
To eat the world’s due, by the grave and thee.
Placid Walk, Wild Grape
Close to our house is this old barn, completely overgrown with wild grape (I’m not really sure about its proper name, we call it “Wilder Wein”). This plant is often used to cover walls but it damages the plaster covering the stones with its suckers. However, the colours in autumn are so magnificent that people put up with it. On this particular date 22-11-22 I found a wine walk particulary fitting (it is also our wedding anniversary).

At Any Time of the Year
Wiesbaden, like Rome, is built on seven hills. The most prominent one is the “Neroberg”. About halfway up on this hill is the Russian-orthodox church – a reminder of the time when Russians were very prominent in the city.

They look spectacular in autumn when one comes upon them unsuspectedly from below after walking through a sombre autumn forest.
It looks spectacular in winter when one approaches from above and the sun hits the gold with full force.
It looks spectacular in summer when only the golden tops look over the green canopy of the surrounding forest.

And because this is squares I could not leave without sharing the pair of tights one of our runners was wearing:
