Far too pretty in my opinion to be devoured by donkeys but that’s what the Latin names onobrychis means. Otherwise known as either sainfoin or esparsette.

Fairground Trios
The shooting gallery at this otherwise very German funfair was decorated with not one but three US American flags. I’ve recently seen quite a number of documentaries on gun violence in the US. But it’s a funfair so I don’t even want to go there.
We decided to throw balls in baskets and at tins instead. Sadly, I mostly missed.
There are always vendours at the fair and this bag with three cats kept staring at me, staring at me, staring at me.
And one of the fun rides was decorated with a famous trio: George, John and Paul. — ?
He Could Shoot Faster than His Own Shadow
“Gulch” must have been one of the first words I learned in English (I probably pronounced it “goolsh” and had no idea what it meant). It came up quite often as a place name in one of my favourite cartoons.
The Daltons – the arch enemies of Lucky Luke – tried their luck in Killer Gulch, in Paradise Gulch, in Bottleneck Gulch, in Tortilla Gulch, and others.
If I remember correctly, Lucky Luke has grown up in Nothing Gulch.
Flying with the Bees
The fairground came to Michelstadt in the Odenwald. The event is known as the “bees’ market” and it ends with a bee exhibition and the auctioning off bee colonies and beekeeper paraphernalia.- The fairground attractions are usually garish in colour, bright and shiny but this rather old-fashioned swing-carousel is doing it in pastels.

Anything Butt
While a child latched on a leg might be cumbersome, this naked statue doesn’t seem encumbered by the child nor by any clothes or a longing for decency. Even so, the sculpture is called “The threatened one” (Der Bedrohte) and I’m wondering …
Smoking Is no Longer in Fashion
The last tobacco grower in our area gave up in 2010. Many of the barns in which the tobacco leaves were dried can still be seen. Because they have open wooden walls they cannot be used for anything else as they stand. So while they are not really abandoned, they are empty and vacated.
Often the structures below the drying areas are still in use, for storage and the like.
Not a tobacco barn but still a barn that is no longer in use. It has started to look abandoned even though it is attached to a kind of grange.
