When Pigs Make Merry

I’ve shown a collection of butchery signs before. I still keep wondering why the pigs depicted on butchery signs always smile and appear to be really happy. That post is kind of dismembered (ha!) so I will add the relevant pictures below.

This mural on the wall of a butchery takes this concept of happy pigs a step further. It’s a family of pigs at a sunday feast with ham and liverwurst and a coffee cake. And a single pig about to happily munch a whole chain of pork sausages.

Weird but also well executed.

Looking back and Looking ahead

A curious look – but what’s the connection to my past and my future?

This valley in the Odenwald has been a favourite spot for family outings for almost 150 years. The deer come to the fences to be fed, then and now.

The young deer at the top might very well be the grandgrandgrandgrand… son of the deer my granddad was feeding in the photo on the left, taken in around 1962. The photo on the right is of our son and grandson standing in more or less the same location earlier this year. I haven’t been to that place in the intervening 60 years.
