Making Lemonade Used to Be a Good Thing
Global warming, or in this case local warming, gives us lemons. I remember when I was little there was at least one outdoor lemon tree in the park around our castle. They had small fruits but they never fully ripened. I thought this to be an oddity because lemons were not common in Germany. These days I see fully ripened lemons in some gardens.

This lamp tells the story of the two giants who stood on opposite mountains and threw rocks at each other creating the large “sea of stones” in Reichenbach and a smaller scattering of rocks on the facing mountain side (the Reichenbach giant was the weaker or smaller one, quite obviously).
