And there I was thinking that selkies are Celtic by origin and are found in the North Sea, on the shores of Ireland and Scotland, and not in the sweat waters of the river Neckar. And then I found a Selkie with a Heidelberg license number.

Monday Portrait

Spite Windows

I wasn’t initially planning to take photos of the house next to that arch in Neckargemünd, east of Heidelberg. But I had to learn that the karenicity runs strong even in some Germans. While I was trying to find a good angle for a photo (and was quite chuffed to get the triangle of the house exactly in the opening of the arch) I was approached by a lady with a piercing voice: “Are you photographing MY house?! Are you, tell me, are you?!” I explained that I was taking pictures of the arch but as it was quite a nice house I might also photograph the house. She drew a deep breath but before she could say anything I explained in my calmest voice that I was perfectly allowed to do so from the street. She huffed a little bit and puffed a little bit and I took pictures of the house and the windows. I mean – what do you expect if you have a beautiful house standing next to an antique cultural artefacts?
