Travel Challenge #2

· 10 Comments ·

I was nominated by Teresa  and by Margaret to post one favorite travel picture a day for ten days without explanation, then to nominate someone else to participate. That’s 10 days, 10 travel images, and 10 nominations. 

The photos I am going to show in this challenge are from travels around Germany and where chosen to introduce my German language students to various German sites.

Here is my second one:

Today I would like to nominate geriatrix . There is no pressure to participate, though. But if you like to share some of your travel photos, have fun!

I understand “no explanations” – but I think I need to comment somewhat. The challenge came at the right time as today was the last day of teaching for me – COVID lockdown has closed the school. And the last days of teaching were concerned with Germany, its towns and sights. So the photos I am going to show in this challenge are from travels around Germany and where chosen to introduce my students to various German sites.

So here is my first one:

Peggy lost an arm

After this picture was taken, Peggy lost an arm and he could not longer walk down his ladder – much to the dismay of grandad who enjoyed playing with him more than any of his grandchildren.

Crests often feature crowns

and so do restaurants in their signs.


Some wear crowns better than others but these all wear theirs perfectly.

A crowning achievement.

Gnomes not elves for Christmas

All of these gnomes where photoshopped with an online programme called LunaPic. I like their art feature which renders a photo in the style of certain artist like van Gogh, Rembrandt, da Vinci, Gauguin, Renoir … and a caleidoscope and a bauble thrown in for good measure.

This was almost the original (background eliminated):
