Wire Art
I happen to be at the local cemetery today and noticed this sculpture. I think it is new but I’m not there often so I might be wrong.
It reminded me of other wire sculptures I’ve seen over the years:
The next is really far too small and only displayed on our shelf in the living room but I couldn’t let this theme go without adding the tortoise we bought in Zimbabwe. After all, she stood in the street with many of her brothers and sisters before we decided to take her home.
Six Dragon Flies
Yes, there are actually six of them in this picture. Looks a bit messy, I know, so I am going to balance that with a very clear, down-to-earth shot:
The valley to the east from here is known as the six mill valley because there are six mills (suprise!). They are not in operation anymore and function as small museums, an upscale restaurant or have been transformed into places of residence. There are a lot more mills further along the small river called Weschnitz, to be sure, but these are the ones within the scope of a comfortable Sunday stroll.

Merry Go Round
Since one of the words in Paula’s Thursday’s Special Pick a Word was CONTINUITY I thought I start with a circle because every photos has two of the words in it.
The Red Mosque situated in the palace gardens of the Schwetzingen Castle is turned inward with continuing elements: INWARD + CONTINUITY.
The Walderdorffer Hof in Bensheim, build around 1395 is considered to be the oldest completely preserved half-timbered house in the southern part of the state of Hesse: CONTINUITY + REFLECTION.
One of the high rise buildings in Frankfurt am Main, a stronghold of the European banking industry: REFLECTING + STRONGHOLD.
Veste Otzberg on a hill in the Odenwald was built as a stronghold and can only be reached on foot: STRONGHOLD + PEDESTRIAN.
Whether you consider the walk of this tortoise pedestrian or its whole demeanour pedestrian there is no doubt that this animal can turn inward if it needs to be: PEDESTRIAN + INWARD.

White Focus
I’m on record that I don’t like stripping flowers of their natural colours so I have only used flowers which occur naturally white for this challenge.

It’s the View
I’ve featured this window before. I took the photo when visiting a friend and I heartily envy her this nook. The view is directly onto the lighthouse of Roker Beach in Sunderland. I ordinarily don’t eat breakfast and as I’ve often said: “I don’t do sunrises” but with this window seat I would change my routine just for the pleasure of sitting there and gazing out over the waves.
